We are following best-in-class methods with an empirical approach so that the learning is suited to the work environment and ensures skilling and employment. The students will be screened to ensure that only the most suited are admitted to the highly specialised programme. Our syllabus and faculty will empower students to handle large-scale events with complete ease and personalisation. Training here implies embracing key responsibilities even before being hired or embarking as an entrepreneur. For us, monitored mentoring in the right measure will ensure perfect learning,” says Sabbas Joseph, Director, Global Wedding Academy.
“We aim to create a global benchmark through our curriculum. Ours is not your regular classroom-confined academy. We train you practically, holistically and authentically with current trends, technology and world-class best practices,” says Sushma Gaikwad, Curriculum Director & Mentor, Global Wedding Academy.
“The wedding industry is distinct from the corporate event industry in key requirements. Today, it is in dire need of trained and competent manpower who understand the business, the changing demands of clients and the complexity of the industry. Our blended course will give you just the right amount of exposure to theory, on-site and offsite work internships, and get you ready to face clients in the real world,” emphasises Neha Seth Arora, Director & Mentor, Global Wedding Academy .
