I decided to attend the Wedding Planner course because I have always been fascinated by it and when I read about your institute I clicked on 'more information' and was immediately contacted, I never thought it would work but a few months ago I started to study online and I am very excited about what awaits me.
Incredible experience, unparalleled professional and personal training.
I have just finished the wedding planner course that was held from 22/04/24 to 23/04/24 in the Turro area of Milan. On the first day, I was able to follow the course in the presence of the lecturer Angelo Garini, but on the other two days, due to health problems, I had to continue my training at home, with the lecturer Francesca Mastroleo.Apart from this personal setback, both lecturers were very good at explaining to us in detail how to embark on this new adventure in the world of wedding planners in the right way. A special thanks also goes to Dr. Stefania Grottola and Dr. Fracchiola Ilenia, who were always there for any information and problems.
I attended a course in Milan as a hotel consultant and I must say that it helped me a lot to see things from a different perspective on the one hand as well as to improve myself in some respects thanks to the valuable advice of the lecturers and the support of the tutor.
Very knowledgeable and helpful lecturers. Secretariat helpful and precise.
Prepared with comprehensive arguments. The practical test definitely the best and very much appreciated the feedback from the lecturer on the report.
Excellent experience, knowledgeable and thorough lecturers. Highly recommended
The course organised by IET that I attended in November in Milan far exceeded my expectations! Excellent organisation, very competent and friendly lecturers, it was a great experience.
Our lecturer Clara Trama is a fantastic person, clear in making us understand any subject from A to Z of anything, available to answer our strange questions from inexperienced people, in confrontation and in listening. In addition to transmitting the passion for this work, she transmitted her personality, enthusiasm, and the path to follow.
Superbly trained lecturers, utmost professionalism and courtesy.A special mention goes to the tutor Ilenia, always helpful kind and considerate

Wedding planner course. I can say that I found professionalism and helpfulness right from the start. I highly recommend this course for all those who want to start their own wedding planner business because it provides comprehensive information and advice, through diagrams, tests and examples, to be able to be independent right away. Although I did not have the opportunity, for work reasons, to attend in person, the live multimedia classroom with the other students in attendance did not create any discrepancies or doubts. Congratulations again to Grazie, Ilenia and Clara Trama and to all the new colleagues we met!

Well-prepared lecturers who gave us theoretical lessons enriched by role-plays and personal experiences from real experts in the sector. Attentive and very helpful tutors.
Professionalism, helpfulness and seriousness on the part of both lecturers and tutors. I highly recommend the course
I attended the wedding planner course last May; the lecturer was very well prepared and the organisation by the Institute impeccable. I thank everyone for their constant attention.
I attended the master's course in Hospitality management in April 2023. I found the course to be helpful and serious; very well-prepared lecturers. The material arrived on time as did the activation of the platforms that are provided within the training course. I also recommend the final internship to consolidate the skills acquired during the course.
The lecturer of the Wedding planner course was competent and helpful, she practically got us into what is the complicated but wonderful world of Wedding planners. I highly recommend attending this course because it also gives you the opportunity to follow an internship.I strongly recommend the European Institute of Tourism.
I attended the wedding planner course in May 2023. I felt constantly supported and motivated throughout the course by the very knowledgeable lecturer and the tutor.I would do IET again! I thank everyone for their constant attention.
Valuable training and growth experience on all points of view, both professional and human (although I had to due to work problems to follow the online course there was a lot of availability). Professors super prepared on all the dynamics of the world of work, up to date and with many ideas to treasure or to examine the various topics within the course from Mystery Guest.Advice that made me grow a lot myself, on points that I had not noticed in the past, but above all improved and gave added value to the growth of the structure that I manage (Hotel).I really thank everyone for this professional experience. 😃😃
I attended the travel blogger course. The topics covered were very interesting, the lecturers were always helpful and explained clearly. The course exceeded my expectations and the value for money is excellent. Finally, the lessons were online, a convenient option for those who work. I would recommend the option with a final internship, to finish the course by putting into practice what was learnt during the lessons.
I found the course I attended interesting. The lecturers were professional and empathetic. They involved each student without ever boring them. If I had to describe in a few words what I breathed, I would say "an air of humanity, professionalism and helpfulness" and harmony between the students.
