Budgeting Micro Course
COURSE OVERVIEW
It’s essential to create an approved event budget that aligns with the event’s goals and objectives. Stakeholders, clients and your organization are relying on you, as the event professional, to be a good steward of the resources invested in the event, including time, money and people. This course will equip you with the knowledge to develop and track budget evolution for this crucial project management tool.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Create an estimated budget aligned with event objectives.
- Understand different budget variables and budget planning methods.
- Establish a working budget and track its evolution through the planning process.
COURSE FORMAT
On-demand micro courses are designed so you can learn at your own pace — anytime, anywhere.
Each course is structured to be completed in about an hour (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less), giving you a quick, focused overview of the topic without a major time commitment.
Content is delivered through pre-recorded videos paired with engaging, interactive learning moments. As you work your way through the content, you’ll encounter:
- Quick knowledge checks to help you reinforce what you’ve learned
- Short reflection prompts or mini activities that encourage real-world application
- Lightweight learning tasks that keep you actively involved rather than passively watching
The result is a shorter, more engaging learning experience designed to help you understand the essentials quickly and confidently.
