FAQ

Common questions about apprenticeship management software and AI training platforms

What is an AI LMS for training providers?

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.

What types of training does Prentice support?

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.

How does AI improve training delivery?

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.

What's the difference between an LMS and TMS?

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.

Can Prentice replace our e-portfolio system?

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.

How long does implementation take?

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.

What apprenticeship standards does Prentice support?

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.

Does Prentice handle compliance training and renewals?

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.

How is pricing structured?

Simple per-learner pricing with no hidden fees. Employer access is included at no additional cost. Volume discounts are available for larger providers. Book a demo and we'll build a quote for your specific situation.

Do employers need to pay separately?

No. Employer access is included in the standard pricing. They get their own dedicated dashboard with real-time progress tracking, compliance monitoring, and ROI metrics at no additional cost.

Is Prentice GDPR compliant and secure?

Yes. Prentice is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited. All data is encrypted with 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit. UK data residency is available. We support SSO and SCIM provisioning for enterprise security.

Does Prentice support Skills Bootcamps?

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.

Who built Prentice?

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.

Can Prentice replace OneFile?

Yes. Prentice replaces OneFile with a unified AI-powered platform — full e-portfolio (evidence, KSB mapping, tutor feedback, digital signatures) plus LMS content delivery, OTJ tracking, EPA readiness scoring, and Ofsted-ready reporting. Migration from OneFile is handled by Prentice, including all learner data, evidence history, OTJ records, and programme structures.

Can I migrate from Aptem or Smart Assessor to Prentice?

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.

What is the Growth and Skills Levy and how does it affect providers?

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.

What is EPA readiness and how does Prentice track it?

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.

How does Prentice track off-the-job (OTJ) training hours?

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.

How does Prentice help prepare for Ofsted inspections?

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.

Does Prentice support degree apprenticeships?

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.

What integrations does Prentice support?

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.

What does the employer portal give employers?

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.

How does the AI programme builder work?

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.

What ESFA and DfE reporting does Prentice provide?

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.
