Delivering training across industries and sectors
Platform
Every persona gets exactly what they need. Learners, tutors, employers, and admins — all connected, all in sync, all powered by the same AI engine.
Whether it's an apprenticeship, compliance module, or onboarding programme — learners see exactly where they are and what's next. AI works behind the scenes so they can focus on learning.
See your entire caseload at a glance. AI flags problems before they escalate, preps your reviews, and writes the reports. You focus on the learners.
Employers log in and see their people's progress themselves. Real-time dashboards, compliance tracking, and ROI metrics — no more chasing.
Stay audit-ready without trying. Automatic evidence trails, funding validation, Ofsted-aligned reports, and a visual programme builder that creates curricula in minutes.
AI Engine
Practical automation that saves hours every week. Each training type gets AI tailored to its specific needs — from KSB mapping for apprenticeships to clause extraction for compliance.
Upload any IfATE standard, regulatory document, or training brief. AI extracts the structure, competencies, and assessment criteria in minutes.
When learners describe their work, AI maps it to the right competencies — KSBs for apprenticeships, clauses for compliance, skills for soft skills training.

What teams say
Prentice is designed with input from the training teams who use it every day — tutors, compliance managers, L&D leads, and Skills Bootcamp providers.
"Our tutors used to spend hours preparing for progress reviews. Prentice's AI does the prep work — it surfaces the gaps, writes the summary, and flags who needs attention. We've cut review admin by over 60%."
"We moved our Skills Bootcamp programmes onto Prentice and the DfE outcome reporting that used to take us two days now takes 20 minutes. The employer engagement tracking is exactly what we needed to prove ROI to DfE."
"Compliance training used to be a spreadsheet nightmare. Prentice tracks every attestation, sends renewal reminders automatically, and generates the audit report with one click. Our compliance team actually has time to do compliance work now."

FAQ
An AI LMS (Learning Management System) is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to automate content delivery, evidence collection, progress tracking, and compliance reporting. Prentice by TIQ combines AI LMS, TMS, and e-portfolio capabilities into a single platform that handles apprenticeships, compliance training, onboarding, soft skills, professional development, and technical training.
Prentice supports 7 training types: Apprenticeships (with KSBs, EPA, OTJ tracking), Compliance Training (regulatory requirements, attestation, renewal tracking), Onboarding (new starter induction), Professional Development (CPD, upskilling), Technical Training (hands-on, procedural), Soft Skills (leadership, communication), and General Training. Each type has AI-tailored content generation, assessment strategies, and quality checks.
AI improves training delivery by automating repetitive admin tasks like evidence tagging, progress report generation, and review preparation. For apprenticeships, AI maps learner activities to KSBs with 89% accuracy. For compliance training, AI extracts regulatory requirements and generates clause-mapped content. For all training types, AI generates lessons, quizzes, and assessments tailored to the specific programme profile.
An LMS (Learning Management System) focuses on content delivery and learner progress tracking. A TMS (Training Management System) focuses on operational management — scheduling, compliance, funding, and reporting. Prentice combines both: it delivers lessons and tracks learning like an LMS, while managing compliance, OTJ hours, reviews, and reporting like a TMS. You get one platform instead of two.
Yes. Prentice replaces standalone e-portfolio systems like OneFile, Aptem, and Smart Assessor. Learners collect evidence through text, file uploads, voice journals, and work activity logs. AI automatically maps evidence to the correct competencies. Tutors review and approve evidence in a unified marking workspace with customisable feedback templates.
Most providers are live within 4 weeks. We handle data migration from existing systems, SSO setup, and team training. For apprenticeship providers migrating from OneFile, Aptem, or Smart Assessor, learner history comes with the migration — nothing gets left behind.
All of them. Upload any IfATE standard and our AI extracts the structure automatically. We support degree apprenticeships, standards, and frameworks across all levels and sectors — from Digital Marketing to Software Development to Business Administration.
Yes. Prentice has a dedicated compliance training profile with built-in attestation tracking, renewal reminders, and regulatory clause mapping. AI extracts requirements from policy documents and generates clause-mapped content with higher passing thresholds. All completions and attestations are stored in an immutable audit trail.

Yes. Prentice supports Skills Bootcamp delivery with flexible programme structures that fit the 12–16 week DfE-funded model. It handles employer engagement tracking (including interview guarantee requirements), learner outcome reporting aligned to DfE's Provider Data Dashboard, and evidence collection across the bootcamp journey. As the Growth & Skills Levy replaces the Apprenticeship Levy, Prentice is built to handle the broader range of training types that Skills England's framework will cover — not just apprenticeships.
Prentice is built by Training Intelligence (TIQ) Ltd, a UK-based company focused on bringing AI-powered intelligence to training delivery. TIQ combines deep expertise in training operations with modern AI and engineering to build software that genuinely improves outcomes for learners, tutors, employers, and compliance teams.

Migration from OneFile is handled by Prentice, including all learner data, evidence history, OTJ records, and programme structures.
Yes. Prentice has migrated providers from Aptem, Smart Assessor, and other platforms. A full migration includes learner records, evidence history with preserved timestamps, OTJ hours, programme structures, and employer connections. Most migrations complete in 2–4 weeks with a parallel running period available.
The Growth & Skills Levy is the UK government's replacement for the Apprenticeship Levy. It expands eligible training types beyond apprenticeships to include Skills Bootcamps, shorter qualifications, foundation apprenticeships, and other Skills England-approved programmes. Prentice is built for the Growth & Skills Levy era — supporting multiple training types from one platform, not just apprenticeships.
EPA readiness is a measure of whether an apprentice has met every gateway criterion — KSBs evidenced to threshold, OTJ hours met, English and Maths achieved, mandated qualifications complete. Prentice tracks all of it automatically, updates EPA readiness scores live as evidence comes in, and alerts tutors to at-risk learners 3 weeks before a human would manually spot the issue.
Learners log OTJ activities (date, duration, activity type) directly in Prentice. Tutors verify and approve hours. The platform tracks cumulative OTJ against the minimum threshold for each standard — 20% of contracted hours or the standard's specified minimum — and flags learners falling behind the required accumulation pace before it becomes a gateway problem.
Prentice generates Ofsted-ready documentation from live platform data — learner journey summaries, KSB coverage reports, OTJ logs, progress review records, and IQA audit trails. For deep dives, tutors produce a complete learner file in minutes. Prentice also tracks the specific quality indicators inspectors examine: contemporaneous evidence, curriculum mapped to KSBs, consistent tutor practice, and documented SMART targets at every review.
Yes. Prentice supports degree apprenticeships including coordination between provider and HEI on gateway sign-off. Upload any degree apprenticeship standard and the AI extracts the KSB structure, assessment criteria, and gateway requirements automatically — including degree module completion tracking and synoptic project milestones.
Prentice supports SSO and SCIM provisioning for enterprise identity management, SCORM content import for existing learning materials, and ESFA-aligned data exports. API-based integrations are available for providers managing multiple systems. Contact the team for specific integration requirements.
The employer portal gives employers genuine real-time visibility — not just a signature screen. They see OTJ hours accumulation, KSB coverage status, upcoming review dates, EPA readiness scores, and compliance milestones. Employers are notified when reviews are due and when action is required. Employer access is included in standard pricing at no extra cost.
Upload an IfATE standard PDF and the AI extracts all KSBs, assessment criteria, and gateway requirements automatically. From there, use the drag-and-drop canvas to build modules, assign learning objectives, map activities to KSBs, and set milestone checkpoints — without manually re-entering every standard element. New and revised standards are handled in minutes, not days.
Prentice generates ESFA-aligned ILR data exports, Bulk Learner Data (BLD) compatible outputs, and DfE Provider Data Dashboard-aligned Skills Bootcamp outcome reports — all from live platform data with no manual manipulation. As ESFA reporting requirements evolve under the Growth & Skills Levy, Prentice updates accordingly.
