Will taking the course lead me into a full-time job? 

It can. There are several options! Many work full-time as coordinators while others do so part-time. Some work strictly on a consulting basis by assisting the bride to plan and coordinate all parts of her wedding, including the recommendation of a florist, caterer, photographer, bridal shop, reception site, etc. Others choose to assist at the rehearsal, wedding and reception only. Many coordinators work full- or part-time in another wedding-related business and use the knowledge they gain from the Home Study course to serve brides more professionally, which then helps their primary business grow. 

What determines success? 

The foundation for success as a wedding coordinator is knowledge, which is also the basis of confidence. Confidence leads to professionalism, creativity, and excellence in your business. Word-of-mouth recommendations and the establishment of your reputation as an authority on weddings follow naturally. Your progression in these areas is the goal of The International Federation of Event and Wedding Planners.
