    I think it would be a good school to go ALONG WITH a book full of references and recommendations from happy clients.

    You know...

    I have planned weddings in the past and I realize that they are stressful and multifaceted and that a planner can certainly benefit from some training in order to ultimately create the ideal experience...

    But are schools really suggesting that you need to be formally educated in wedding planning in order to gain competence? Isn't this something that one can learn on-the-job? I do not mean to condescend - I highly respect your chosen profession; but when does the regulation end? Slowly but surely, all professions are going to require very costly certificates and/or degrees. This pay to play system disgusts me.

    I wish you luck in your endeavors, and definitely respect your career choice.

    I completed Penn Foster's jewelry repair program. It was good, but it doesn't really work as a standalone credential. I still had to practice outside of the curriculum. I took other classes as well. I think PF diplomas offer decent foundational knowledge. But experience and supplemental knowledge are likely to mean the difference between success and failure.
