If I participate in the U.S. Event Guide Certification Program, am I under any obligation to U.S. Event Guide?

No. You are welcome to venture on your own upon completion of the program. However, should you decide to become an independent contractor for U.S. Event Guide, we will provide you with access to countless clients and ongoing support. One of the disadvantages of working with other certification programs is the support stops along with the program. Not so at U.S. Event Guide. We operate under the principle that if you are not successful, neither are we. Let us handle the daily business hassles while you do what you enjoy most...planning the event!

Do I have to work with a client in order to graduate?

No. Participation in real world training is optional.

Will I be able to take part in a program while working full-time?

Yes. Our programs are self-paced and designed to fit into your busy schedule.  As our testimonials confirm, the majority of our students work full-time and have no difficulties managing the workload.

Will I be considered an employee if I decide to remain with U.S. Event Guide as a consultant after completing the certification program? 

No.  All of our consultants are independent contractors. You will be operating your own business, but will be using our system, clients, support, and guidance in order to ensure success.

How do the clients assigned to consultants find U.S. Event Guide?

Clients find U.S. Event Guide in one of the following ways:

1.   Referrals from sponsors

2.   Free “How To Plan Your Own Event” workshops

3.   Search engines

4.   Advertisements

5.   Referrals from our affiliates/members

6.   Referrals from past clients

7.   Trade shows

Where are training classes offered?

Our certification training takes the form of online, self-paced courses to be completed in the comfort of your own home. Real world training is the only part of the program not completed online. Participation in real world training is optional.

When do classes begin? 

You may begin your online training as soon as you have completed the enrollment process and we have received your tuition payment.

How long does it take to complete the certification program?

Although students have up to 5 months to complete the program, the majority of students graduate within 3. This time frame reflects part-time study, as the majority of students have outside commitments that make full-time study difficult. PLEASE NOTE: For students who are able to enroll full-time, it is possible to complete the program in under 3 months. It is to each student’s advantage to create a program timetable.

What happens after I complete the enrollment process and pay my tuition?

1. You will be assigned to a mentor, who will guide you through every step of your training.

2. You will then receive an email with the contract for you to complete and submit via fax in order to accept the service of your assigned mentor.

3. Last, you will receive an email from our Operational Director that will include the access link to our online training site.  Information on how to contact your assigned mentor will also be included should you have any questions during the program.

Will I be required to relocate in order to assist my real world training client?

No.

What is the average annual earning for an event planner?

Annual earnings of full-time event consultants average between $45,000-$95,000, depending upon performance, experience, and market area.
