For a 6-month advanced event management course, National Occupational Standards (NOS) units that fit generally cover key functions in event planning, organizing, marketing, budgeting, logistics, legal and ethical aspects, and evaluation. Based on NSDC’s QP-NOS structure for Event Planner / Event Manager (QP Code: MES/Q0209), typical NOS units included would be:
- Plan and design events
