This online training will help you become a skilled, knowledgeable, professional event coordinator. This course (version 2 series) is an excellent study resource, but has not been updated to reflect the latest version of the National Occupational Standards (version 3 series). As a result, it may not cover the full scope of the Standards and thus may not fully prepare candidates seeking to write the current Certification Exam (version 3 series). Please contact info@emerit.ca for further details.
