Revamped Birthday Planner Qualification Course Set to Relaunch for Party Decoration Enthusiasts

Revamping the Art of Celebration: New Birthday Planner Qualification Course

The Japanese Birthday Planner Association, located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is preparing to relaunch its essential qualification course focused on training adept party decorators, scheduled to commence on August 25, 2025. This initiative comes in response to the growing demand for skilled professionals who can enhance both home celebrations and commercial spaces through creative decoration. As home parties, birthday surprises, and “oshikatsu” (supporting one’s favorite artists) gain popularity, the need for skilled decorators is more critical than ever.

The Growing Need for Decoration Skills

In recent years, the trend of hosting family-oriented home parties has seen a notable surge. The Japanese Birthday Planner Association previously reported high demand for unique decorations, partly fueled by the popularity of social media and the increasing importance of experiential spaces in restaurants and cafes. Their previous initiatives, such as the “Balloon Stand Decoration” campaign, have been widely celebrated, indicating a robust interest in the skills required for spatial design.

Key Features of the Revised Course

The revamped qualification course offers a more practical approach, ensuring that participants can apply their skills directly in professional settings. Here are the highlighted features of the new curriculum:

- Mastering Professional-Grade Materials: Learn the effective use of balloons and decoration items tailored for professional environments.
- Canva Design Techniques: Newly introduced, this component focuses on creating party paper items using the Canva design tool.
- Decoration Skills Development: Participants will gain expertise in spatial configuration, color coordination, and prop placement to elevate decoration quality.
- Business Skills Training: Learn essential business skills such as proposal writing, email etiquette, and logistical tasks including event wrap-up.

The courses will primarily be delivered online, allowing accessibility from anywhere in the country, while also including in-person sessions in Tokyo.

Course Schedule

The Basic Course will be conducted over three days:

- Dates: August 25 (Monday), 26 (Tuesday), 27 (Wednesday)
- Format: Entirely online

Information Session

To further promote the course and share details, an Instagram Live information session will be held on August 7 at 12 PM. For more information, you can visit their Instagram page.

Future Expansion

Looking ahead, the association plans to introduce an Advanced Course by November 2025, allowing participants to learn more sophisticated techniques in decoration. This will help aspiring decorators achieve their professional goals and enhance their skillsets.

Embrace Your Passion

Now is the time to turn your passion for decoration into a rewarding career. With the ability to 'decorate' and bring smiles to faces, eager learners can seize this opportunity and make decoration a fulfilling profession.

Note: Commercial use of skills is permitted only after completing the Advanced Course.
