Get Your Event Planner Certification & Take Your Career to New Heights

Setup a similar space after taking IWED courses

It’s common in the business world to get to the point in your career where you feel stuck. There are many reasons this can happen. Perhaps you’ve been in your current position for several years and feel like you’ve done it all; the challenge is gone. Perhaps you’ve learned all you can learn in this particular position and no longer feel challenged. Or maybe there’s no upward mobility at your company and you’re bored; your salary has leveled out and there’s no more advancement potential. This feeling of being stuck can occur regardless of what business you’re in.  When that happens, it’s often a signal that it’s time to make a change.

Event planners can find themselves in the same position. Perhaps you find that your salary as an event planner has peaked and feel unsure about how to get over that hump. You need a pick-me-up, something to give you added confidence and the ability to take your event planner business to the next level. Perhaps it’s time to consider getting an event planner certification.

Event Planner Salaries

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average event planner salary in 2016 was around $47, 350, which is a livable salary, especially if you have another income earner in the home. Approximately 75% of event planners earned around $63,140, according to the same source. If your event planner salary is hovering somewhere between $47,000 and $63,000, you should consider registering for an event planner certification program. It might just give you the boost you need to increase your earnings by renewing your interest in the field and ensuring that you’re up-to-date on the latest event planning trends.
