Delivering apprenticeship and workforce training across UK sectors
Platform
Every role gets exactly what they need. Learners, tutors, employers, and admins — all connected, all in sync, all powered by the same AI engine.
Apprentices see exactly where they are across KSBs, OTJ hours, and evidence — and what they need to do next. AI works in the background so they focus on learning and demonstrating competence.
See your entire caseload at a glance. AI flags problems before they escalate, prepares your reviews, and writes the summaries. You focus on the learners who need you most.
Employers log in and see their apprentices' progress themselves. Real-time dashboards, OTJ compliance, and EPA readiness — no more chasing the training provider for updates.
Stay Ofsted and ESFA ready without trying. Automatic evidence trails, funding rule validation, Ofsted-aligned reports, and a visual programme builder that creates IfATE-mapped curricula in minutes.
AI Engine
Practical automation that saves tutors and quality leads hours every week. Each feature is built around the specific workflows of UK apprenticeship delivery.
Upload any IfATE standard PDF. AI extracts all KSBs, assessment criteria, gateway requirements, and recommended curriculum structure in minutes — no manual data entry.
When learners describe their work, AI maps it to the correct KSBs. Tutors review and approve — they don't start from scratch. Coverage gaps are surfaced automatically.
Before each progress review, AI summarises learner activity, highlights KSB gaps, flags OTJ shortfalls, and suggests discussion points. Review prep drops from hours to minutes.
Pattern recognition spots at-risk learners before they fall behind gateway. AI flags OTJ shortfalls, engagement drops, and missed review deadlines automatically.
AI generates full courses mapped to your IfATE standard — with lessons, quizzes, activities, and assessments calibrated for apprenticeship delivery and KSB coverage.
AI reviews learner submissions for quality, relevance, and KSB alignment — providing structured feedback so tutors focus on higher-level coaching, not first-pass marking.
An AI assistant inside the tutor dashboard. Draft feedback, get suggestions, ask questions about a learner's journey — with full context of their programme and KSB progress.
Upload standards, handbooks, policies, and ESFA funding rules. AI ingests and indexes them, powering content generation, compliance checks, and contextual answers across the platform.
Features
From OTJ tracking to Ofsted reporting, from voice journals to SCORM export — every feature designed for UK apprenticeship and workforce training delivery.
Learner-logged OTJ activities with tutor approval. Real-time cumulative tracking against ESFA thresholds, weekly charts, and red/amber/green pace indicators.
Learners upload evidence through text, files, and voice journals. AI maps each piece to the correct KSBs and flags coverage gaps for tutor review.
AI-prepared review summaries with digital signature workflows. Schedule, conduct, and sign off reviews entirely within the platform — with a full audit trail.
Visual gateway checklists track every requirement — KSBs, OTJ hours, English and Maths, mandated qualifications. Know exactly when each learner is gateway-ready.
One-click Ofsted-aligned reports, learner journey summaries, KSB coverage reports, ILR data exports, and funding rule validation — generated from live platform data.
Learners record voice journals to capture on-the-job evidence naturally. Audio visualisation and transcription make tutor review straightforward.
Create interactive lessons with reading, video, quizzes, projects, reflections, and role-play scenarios — all mapped to the KSBs they cover.
Badges, streaks, and achievement tracking keep apprentices motivated across long programmes. Celebrate milestones and maintain consistent engagement.
A unified queue for tutors to mark evidence, assignments, and reviews. Customisable feedback templates speed up marking without sacrificing quality.
Direct messaging between learners, tutors, and employers. Smart notifications for deadlines, approvals, and at-risk alerts.
Export programmes as SCORM-compliant packages for compatibility with any standard learning management system.
Manage multiple providers, standards, and cohorts from one instance. IQA monitoring, internal quality assurance, and full branding control per tenant.
