Production Assistant (screen and audio) EPA
The Production Assistant EPA is the end-point assessment for this level 3 standard.
A Production Assistant provides support and help to editorial or technical colleagues to ensure the smooth delivery of content for productions. Production Assistants are involved in the end to end process of a production. They work to a brief and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to plan productions.
Production Assistants need to be adaptable, and able to learn quickly on the job; building their understanding of screen and audio activities as they move across production teams.
Gateway requirements

- A portfolio of work-based evidence, used to support the professional discussion.
