Want a quick overview?
Aptem has been one of the key drivers behind Corndel’s growth, as it has increased our operational efficiencies and simplified many of our processes. We also save a lot of time by using Aptem, as we don’t need to enter the same data twice, and staff only have to learn one system that does everything. This has enabled us to spend more time focusing on quality, creating engaging learning journeys that meet the needs of our customers and their workforce.
Richard Bridge
Director of Learning Technology
At Lifetime we believe that everyone deserves to learn the skills they need to reach their full potential, and we want to make sure that our technology solutions support this vision for every learner. Having completed an in-depth review of the market, we know Aptem is a platform that will enhance our ability to provide an exceptional learning experience for our learners. We are excited to introduce Aptem to learners and employers in the coming months.
Carl Cornish
Chief Operations Officer
LSBU has gone from learners having to wait up to five months to start using an online apprenticeship management system, to having it available on day one of their programme. That makes a huge impact on their engagement and progress.
Sammy Shummo
Group Director of Apprenticeships
Aptem’s end-to-end design has helped to streamline our processes and workflows, and removes complexity from our delivery. Without the need for multiple systems to manage our programmes, we’re able to improve administrative efficiency, refine our programmes, and provide a better learner experience.
Chris Garnett
Quality Assurance Coordinator
We chose to work with Aptem, after looking at several alternatives, as the entire learning journey (from sign up through to EPA) is embedded into the platform. This saved us money as we could consolidate a number of existing systems in one. Additionally, the investment required demonstrated exceptional value for money and the level of customer service is refreshingly ‘on it’.
James Taylor
Commercial Director
With Aptem, all departments will be able to use a single platform, with consistent processes and structure of logging activities. We were particularly impressed by the enrolment functionality within Aptem, with its ease of use for both apprentices and trainers. We can now report on one platform on all areas of the apprenticeship provision, which has a huge impact on our ability to scale and make data-driven decisions.
