No one will <em>make<\/em> you sit down and work on your studies. You have to be disciplined enough to get through your course yourself. It\u2019s easy to put your studies off until next week, or maybe even next month. When you receive your course materials, sit down with your course guide and a calendar. Create a realistic schedule and set goals for yourself to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s totally possible to complete your course within 4-6 months by dedicating a few hours per week to your studies. That\u2019s not too much to ask, right?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Take_notes\"><\/span>3: Take notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The online course is laid out for you, and you have the course books handy. Why should you take notes when you can just refer to the book?<\/p>\n<p>Well, for a couple of reasons:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Taking notes allows your brain to process the information you\u2019re given.<\/h3>\n<p>If you read (or hear) something <em>and<\/em> write it down, you\u2019re more likely to absorb the information and remember it later. Your notes are a concise way of pulling out the most relevant information from the course, in a way that makes sense to you.<\/p>\n<h3>2. You don\u2019t have the information from the videos written down anywhere.<\/h3>\n<p>Just a head&#8217;s up: there\u2019s a LOT of important information in those videos! So as you\u2019re watching the videos, take the time to jot down important points to refer back to later. Of course, you can always go back and re-watch any video &#8211; but having quick notes already on-hand will save you time and help you retain that info, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-43.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-43.png\" alt=\"Business woman hand working at a computer and writing on a notepad with a pen in the office.On the wooden desk there is a cup of coffee and a mobile phone.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-43.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-43-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone learns the same way, and that\u2019s why your notes will help so much. Some student notes are re-written blocks from the course books. Others are bulleted lists galore. Others are diagrams. Figure out what method of note taking makes most sense for your learning style, and run with it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Practice_like_its_real\"><\/span>4: Practice like it\u2019s real<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your event and wedding planning course is designed to take you through real-world scenarios that will prepare you for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/youre-a-certified-event-planner-now-what\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">real-world career<\/a> in event planning. Practical assignments include case studies, where you\u2019re put in the shoes of a professional event planner in different scenarios. Many of these scenarios are based on ones that QC tutors and instructors have personally encountered in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Oh sure, since it\u2019s \u201cjust an assignment\u201d, you can take the easy way out and simply regurgitate the information from your course books that you think your tutor will want to hear. That <em>might<\/em> get you a passing grade.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ll gain <em>way<\/em> more insight and actual experience if you treat every assignment as if you\u2019re working with an real, live client. Be thorough, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/the-7-questions-event-planners-should-ask-every-client\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ask questions<\/a>. If you plan on going above and beyond for your clients once your business is up and running, now is the best time to get into those habits!<\/p>\n<p>I guarantee you, your tutor will be able to tell how much effort you put into each assignment.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Pro tip: Don\u2019t submit your first draft of an assignment. Take the time to actually practice and polish your work. The work you eventually submit might be absolutely nothing like the first draft, and that\u2019s okay. You\u2019ll learn along the way!<\/em><\/h4>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Really_listen_to_your_tutors_feedback\"><\/span>5: Really listen to your tutor\u2019s feedback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/tutors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your tutor<\/a> takes the time to carefully review all your assignments. They also then take the time to provide you with detailed audio feedback on your work. When you get a good grade on an assignment, it\u2019s tempting to give yourself a pat on the back and then move onto the next unit. But trust me, even if you get an A+, odds are your tutor\u2019s feedback will give you some valuable insight for future work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-44.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-44.png\" alt=\"student sitting in cafe, wearing headphones, and watching assignment feedback recording from virtual tutor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-44.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-44-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For instance: if you did well on an assignment, do you know exactly <em>why<\/em> you did well?\u00a0 Your tutor\u2019s feedback will highlight exactly why and how you got a high grade &#8211; and it\u2019s not always for obvious reasons.

Take their advice to heart and see if you can improve your work on your own. It&#8217;s important to try to not take a tutor\u2019s feedback personally, because it&#8217;s never meant as a personal jab against you. But we still understand that when you receive a less-than-stellar grade on an assignment you worked hard on, it can hurt! Just try to remember that your tutor is only ever looking out for you and your best interests. They want to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/mistakes-all-rookie-event-planners-make-their-first-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learn from your mistakes<\/a> and improve next time.<\/p>\n<p>Mistakes are normal. Learning from them is a skill.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t necessarily have to re-submit an assignment because you did poorly on it (though you can if you want to). But you should at least re-do it on your own, to ensure you\u2019ve understood your tutor\u2019s feedback.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Complete_the_optional_work\"><\/span>6: Complete the optional work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some of the units and assignments in your course are optional.
