Event Coordinator Apprenticeship
Level 3 | Duration: 15 months
NEW course for refreshed apprenticeship standard in 2026
The Event Coordinator Apprenticeship combines elements of marketing, communications, project management, logistics, sustainability and is an ideal first stop for new entrants or for upgrading the skills of existing junior staff.
In addition to knowledge, apprentices gain the skills and behaviours they need. They develop strong internal and external communication skills, generate creative ideas, work well within a team and become competent, respectful and, above all, adaptable to the needs of each project.
We support the event sector through Power of Events sponsorship.
Course content
The course is delivered through half day online seminars using Microsoft Teams, small group round tables, project work, self-directed learning with online resources and regular coaching from an experienced event professional. There is also a field visit to a trade show.
We partner with line managers to shape the workplace element of apprenticeships, making sure they have real value. This mix of practical learning and everyday skills helps apprentices get started with confidence and keep developing as they grow in their roles.
Over 15 months, the apprentice will develop knowledge, skills and behaviours in:
- Personal management and communication skills
- Sustainability, ethical practices and EDI
- The event lifecycle
- Event creation
- Event logistics and onsite management
- Event marketing and technology, including AI
- Risk management and mitigation
- Event evaluation
