Apprenticeship
The Event Assistant Apprenticeship
The Event Assistant apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to assist in the organisation and delivery of a range of events across different sectors and settings. It is suited to individuals working within event management teams, venues, agencies, or as part of wider marketing and communications functions across public, private, and charitable sector organisations.
What does the Event Assistant assessment involve?
The apprenticeship assessment for the Event Assistant standard is made up of three components.
Project
A workplace project or practical case study of 2,000 to 5,000 words, completed in the final three months of the apprenticeship and based on a real event, pitch, or scenario provided by progress minded. The project covers the background, aims and objectives, the apprentice's contribution, and the impact of the event, and is submitted to progress minded for independent assessment after employer and provider review.
Portfolio of evidence
A structured portfolio built throughout the apprenticeship, containing 6 to 12 items of each required evidence category alongside a documented project and a learning journal. The portfolio demonstrates application of the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours not fully evidenced in the project, and is submitted to progress minded for independent assessment.
Professional discussion
A structured professional discussion where the assessor explores the apprentice's knowledge, skills, and behaviours in depth, drawing on the submitted portfolio and project as the basis for questions. The discussion allows apprentices to contextualise their evidence and demonstrate competence beyond what is captured in written submissions. At progress minded, we guide all parties through the process clearly and calmly, so there are no surprises at the end.
