MEA was thrilled to catch up with Michelle Stuart to chat with the newest graduate of its Diploma of Event Management program to ask her about her favourite topics, what she's looking forward to now that she's graduated, and to pass on any advice she has for those considering doing MEA's Diploma.

MEA: What did you learn during the SIT50316 Diploma of Event Management course?

Michelle: "The Diploma of Event Management really takes you through all aspects of event management. There were wonderful opportunities to meet professionals working in the event industry, along with opportunities to work with other diploma students."

MEA: What was your favourite topic?

Michelle: "My favourite topic was Develop Event Concepts. This topic was a collaborative project that promoted creativity, negotiation, and problem-solving skills. It allowed ‘sky’s the limit’ thinking and unlimited options to meet the client’s needs." 

MEA: How will you use what you have learned in your current role?

Michelle: "I work in a public library organising events and activities for children, young people, and families. The diploma will help me to assess and address the needs of the community, and our library patrons to provide high-quality activities." 

MEA: What are you most looking forward to now that you have the SIT50316 Diploma of Event Management qualification under your belt?

Michelle: "The diploma has really given me the confidence to broaden my perspective in the types of events we can run in the library space. I’m looking forward to putting the things I have learnt into practice and working on larger scale events for the community."

MEA: If you could give one piece of advice to those thinking about doing the course, what would you say?

Michelle: "The Diploma really is a great way to see all aspects of event management. The course is fun and interesting with lots of valuable input from professionals working in the field. It is extremely rewarding, and you will walk away with the confidence to create amazing experiences for your clients."

MEA: Do you have any further feedback about the Diploma or your experience?
