The win was announced at a ceremony at the Hilton Park Lane, London, on 18 June, where the education sector’s leading businesses came together to celebrate excellence across investment, technology and provision.

Announcing the award, the judges said Aptem ‘had a simple and compelling case for the support they deliver, a great assessment of what their impact is and how it is delivered with outstanding evidence.’

As part of the entry, we shared the difference Aptem makes for the 170+ providers and 127,000 learners who use the platform every month, including:

• 4% increase in learner achievement rate among Aptem customers (compared to 1.6% among the rest of the market).
• 2% average annual provider growth for Aptem customers (compared to -0.2% across the rest of the market).
• Up to £200,000 saved annually through merged systems and reduced admin time.
• 50% reduction in admin time for key tasks, thanks to our AI-powered features.

Hawk Training, whose tutors use Aptem’s enhanced reviews feature to save 200 hours per quarter, shared why this kind of impact matters: ‘We would be significantly struggling in terms of capacity if we didn’t have AI. The timesaving is where we can invest in human-to-human education.’

Rien Sach, CEO of Aptem, commented on the win:

‘This is a fantastic recognition for the whole Aptem team. Awards like this matter because they are judged on evidence, and it means a great deal to have our impact recognised in this way by people who understand the sector. But recognition is never the point of what we do. Our customers are the ones navigating enormous complexity and pressure every day, and it is their trust in Aptem that makes this possible. This win belongs to them as much as it does to us.’

Congratulations to the whole Aptem team, and thank you to our customers and partners, whose trust and partnership made this win possible.
