Three programs, one ladder. Learn the job, prove it with a certification clients can verify, then build the business. Each tier includes everything in the tiers before it, priced once, with no renewal fees.
Become an Event Planner Course, $47
The starting point, taken by more than 26,000 students since 2010. Seventeen lessons on how planners actually get clients, price their services, run events, and set up a simple business. It comes with the full template vault: 49 working documents including contracts, proposals, checklists, and budget worksheets you can use on your very first booking.
CEP Foundations Certification, $297
Our most popular program. Everything in the $47 course, plus the complete certification curriculum: 7 modules mapped one-to-one to the exam, practice checks in every module, and 5 assignments that leave you with a real portfolio. Pass the 60-question exam (3 attempts included) and you become a Certified Event Planner with a public verification page, a registry listing, an embeddable badge, and a printable certificate. Anyone you quote can verify your credential online in five seconds.
CEP Professional, $997
For working planners ready to scale. The Professional business curriculum covers corporate clients, RFPs, budgets at scale, and operations, and finishes with a capstone portfolio reviewed by a human. Graduates carry the CEP Professional credential, renewed every 3 years with continuing education.
