How is the UK Higher Diploma in Tourism and Mega Event Management (TMEM023) different from a general events diploma?

How long is the Higher Diploma?

Typically 9 to 12 months depending on mode and pace.

Can it be studied online?

Yes. Distance-learning options work well for events professionals juggling project cycles.
