Look what our Certified Event Planners are saying!
“I learned event planners must understand the significant value of their self-worth.”
- Certified Event Planner,
Joshua Rupp
Director of Events
4-Year CEP Alumni
“While I am experienced in event planning, I had no formal training. The boot camp, as well as the two- day training session has taught me that I am not as organized as I previously thought! In addition, I have learned how to price for my services depending on the event type and budget as well as how to effectively manage and price preferred vendors.

“Where do I begin and how can I possibly thank my mentor? Helena opened the doors for my professional success. She painted the outline of what it takes for one to have the most exciting and rewarding career as an event planner.
The course was very informative, taught me way more than I originally expected. I received constructive feedback and I was able to expand my area of expertise at the end of the 6-week boot camp! I highly recommend the program and that is all due to Helena and her knowledgeable personality.
Thank you Helena and Happy Planning!”

Hi, I’m Helena Paschal! Your event instructor and mentor!
Nice to meet you!
Why I Created the CEP Program
I developed the 4-Year CEP (Certified Event Planner) Program to fill a gap in training for aspiring event planners who want to launch a successful career or business. I noticed a lack of comprehensive education for those new to the industry—people who needed more than just tips on picking cakes or decorations.
When I think of event planning, I think of it as project management and organizational development—coordinating every detail from start to finish. This includes mastering contracts, consultations, fundraising, sponsorships, event revenue, budget development, negotiations, marketing, and building strong vendor relationships. In this program, you can expect to learn all of this and more.
My journey began in 2001, and since then, I have planned over 800 corporate events, authored books, and delivered classes nationwide. Now, I am excited to offer you the opportunity to learn these skills from the comfort of your home or office.
