ILEA Feedback for The Career Academy
“The events industry is emerging as a new and contemporary voice, and a leading marketing power house in the world of marketing. As an industry we’re more adept at competing with more traditional mediums such as PR, advertising and media buying, and have convinced businesses and brands of our value. Event professionals are being offered a place at the boardroom table and having a voice in companies that they have never had before.
For us, as industry, to truly grasp this opportunity takes professionalism from the very beginning, and education and continual professional development throughout, our careers. This is a really good course that opens up the importance of great event design, teaches the basics, but then opens up the student to a wider world of influence, and experience marketing.”

Not sure how to put it, but the website is not the best to use the back button, as it seems to take you to the top of the page instead. Company I work with, chose and paid for the course
Tina Morrison –
I don’t think the course could be imporved asit covered all the relevant aspects of accounting practises. I prefer to study in my own time and not in a classroom. I wanted to acquire my accounting diploma as I have been working in accounts for many years and felt I had the ability to achieve it. It also gives me more options in the future for employment opportunities. Thank you for the support and encouragement of Tracey Annan who marked my assessment
Tina Morrison –
I wanted to study from home as I work full time so it was the best course for me to choose and I had heard positive feedback about it. Thanks to all the tutors for their encouragement.
Yanling Xu –
Convenience distance study, very enjoyable!
Bev Garrett –
I was looking for an events course on-line and came across The Career Academy I think it was all very easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable
Bev Garrett –
I felt it was well balanced, provided 5 resources and quick responses to all emails, so don't have any aspects as to improving the course. I liked how the material and information was presented online. just thank, I loved every topic
Ilaria Colombo –
I think that more case study and examples could be useful to understand better. I liked the course I followed. I particularly appreciated the clarity and pragmaticity with which the topics were addressed. In addition, thanks to assessments I have been able to test my knowledge and prove myself.
Finally, I would like to thank the tutors who have always corrected the assessments quickly, always providing much food for though.

I felt an online course would suit my lifestyle, being able to study from anywhere was very appealing to me as I work part-time. I was able to study at work, at home, at friends houses and even whilst i was out and about on my phone! That part of this course was great. Also the adviser Demelza, I spoke to in the beginning was great and she knew exactly what I needed/wanted to study, better than i did, so special thanks to her! Please read above as I really feel these areas need to be addressed in order for future students to get the best potential out of the course. AMYUNI ERROR: The MYOB payroll module needs to be compatible for every computer. I had to pay an extra $70.00 for an extension that i didn;t necessarily need because of a software malfunction. For future reference to all tutors who;s student may have this problem, you need to know how to fix and in MYOB. As it seemed only one of you tutors- Matthew Jacobsen – knew how to fix it. A problem which left me hanging for two weeks exchanging phone calls with the academy and getting no answers. I lost my work repetitively because I was told to uninstall and reinstall, but this does not fix the error. Was extremely unhappy about this. NSTRUCTION UPDATES: If you are going to update course content whilst students are studying i;d suggest you send an email notification or something similar. As I printed out the excel assignment instructions to work on, in the process the course content was &, I submitted my assessment based on the original instructions, then received my assessment back as failed, as it was marked on the new instructions. I think if you are going to update whilst students are working you need make it very clear, or you need to be aware of what instructions the student has been given originally so you can mark it accordingly. As it is unfair for any student to have to complete one module twice. ENGLISH: One last thing that could be improved as I noticed throughout the course there were quite a lot of typos, spelling mistakes and just bad grammar all together. Which whilst learning a new topic to begin with, can make it very confusing to follow.

course reviews- reviews from full time workers and their success on passing the course everything was links to other websites or articles with further information on the topics would of been Good as well
Melanie Huata –
I feel I need to have a certificate to assist in securing a job. Jess suggested I might enjoy the Diploma as it has a significant amount of study on Project Management. I did enjoy that aspect of it. Hi, yes the course was 4 but as the course description suggested 300 hours study I was expecting a lot more, likely practical application. I found each section/assignment took a couple of hours each to complete the reading & assessment. This was disappointing. I completed the course within a calendar month while doing a part time job, normal amounts of exercise & other voluntary activities I perform for two groups. I suggest I likely did 60 – 70hours of study rather than 300 hours.
The impression the hours to be spent impacted on how I felt about the course fee.
I considered it would be value for money if I would be studying for 4 or 5 months. I was quite looking forward to it.
Now the value will be related to whether I am able to secure a job.

It was the most flexible online form of study for the course i wanted and the payment plan was great. More Interaction with tutors required.

Sarah LeClerc –
The tutors were quick and answered all of my questions. I like the fact that the course is online as I prefer doing it in my own time. The corrections given on assignments by tutors were very thorough also!
Amber Roberts –
I received good feedback on my work from tutors and I liked that I was able to complete the course in my own time.
Christina Finney –
Easy repayments and no student load required. I also could do it in my own time and not feel pressured having to attend a class each week when working full time and having children.
Diana Forsyth –
Assignments aren’t too difficult, just need to find the time to do them. I do like the course and it’s enjoyable.
Sonia Waara –
Manageable and pretty easy to do.
Christina Finney –
Good course!
Tala Morgana Clifton –
Pretty cool and straightforward, will definitely keep doing the course. Received the paperwork folder and it’s been really helpful.
Lee-Anne Hannan –
Massey University did not offer a Certificate in Event Management, and this was the area I was interested in. More feedback is always a bonus. Comments on assignments are welcomed.
Andrea White –
Good overall. When organizing conferences I would have liked to see some input as to “ice-breaker” games to play or websites to go to. I decided to study with The Career Academy because they were the only company who had an event management course besides the Level 7 one at Open Polytec or going to one of those conference event days.
Mandi Timms –
I have chosen to study the Certificate in Event Management as I would like to be able to plan pop-up events, festivals and other corporate events like conferences and trade shows. The assignments and projects are great as I am able to apply what I am learning to ‘real life’ event briefs. Sometimes I forget I am not working on a real event they are so realistic.
