| N3 Proficient | Independently delivers an event according to the running order, divides the tasks and resolves programme changes on the spot. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Develops the banqueting concept and running order standards and steers margin and guest experience at large events. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
