Our product roadmap shows the direction in which we are heading and the types of outcomes we are aiming for.
We are building a set of value-multiplying features, using the latest technology (AI, Machine learning, LLMs etc.) called Aptem Enhance, that will automate the admin and elevate human impact. As we roll out these features one by one, they build upon each other, creating a cumulative effect that makes the journey more engaging, more tailored and less resource-heavy.
View detailsThis feature aims to automatically summarise key discussion points and themes from a Review, removing the distraction of notetaking and resulting in more meaningful conversations for all parties.

We are actively developing a new feature that will enable you to update compliance document templates across multiple programmes, with version control, to limit administrative effort.
View detailsThe first AI-driven integrated marking aid for apprenticeships: By suggesting improvements to elements such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word count, marking aid will reduce marking effort by up to 50%.
View detailsWe are continuously improving the user experience and the value of the data provided in the funding dashboard report.
View detailsWe plan to advance learning outcomes by improving tailored, contextualised feedback.
View detailsAn area within the Review to upload a transcript or other meeting notes from a review.
View detailsThis feature iteration of Checkpoint poses questions about the application of knowledge to skills and behaviours during the learner’s practical period to help provide an accurate and objective reflection of progress against KSBs.
View detailsWe have expanded our offering of functional skills integrations to include CENTURY. This provides greater choice for our customers and a more seamless journey for providers who are already partnered with CENTURY.
View detailsBy leveraging large language models and built-in knowledge of learner context, the assistant give learners the answers they need, regardless of tutor availability or bandwidth.
View detailsThis is a powerful new feature for providers managing multiple UKPRNs that enables you to gain deeper insights into your training providers’ performance, helping you make more informed decisions.
View detailsWe have implemented several enhancements which simplify navigation and ease access to information.
View detailsTo support the efficient management of one-to-ones and review meetings, we have built a Communications Connector with Teams. This will ensure a secure, familiar and consistent experience for learners and tutors.
View detailsHere is a list of items we have also released within the last 12 months:
We have delivered a number of valuable feature enhancements to Aptem Assess, our cognitive assessment tool. In this phase, we have created additional learning support resources.

We will continue to expand our offering of AI-driven product capabilities. They aim to replace high-effort admin tasks with cheaper, faster and higher-quality technology solutions. Our roadmap will be updated with specific new enhancements as they are developed.
Aptem Enhance has already launched Checkpoint and virtual assistant and will grow to include review summarisation and marking aid, within just 12 months.
Skills Apprentice
We are actively developing a new process for maintaining compliance document templates, by dissociating them from specific programmes and sharing them from a central location. This will reduce the administrative burden on our customers and allow for easier changes in the future. We are also considering ways to allow customers to control which learners see compliance document changes, based on the applicable funding rules.
Apprentice
A tailored marking aid that meets the specific needs of apprenticeship delivery, enhancing quality without compromising the flexibility needed for customisable rubrics and cumulative assessments.
Apprentice
We present realistic scenarios in the context of the learner’s employment and programme of study. This will empower apprentices to apply theoretical understanding to the skills and behaviours they are working towards, fostering a deeper understanding of on-the-job challenges. This supports the goal of aligning apprenticeship training and real-world requirements, while also providing tutors with a comprehensive understanding of each learner’s progress.
Apprentice
With Review summarisation, we hope to eliminate the trade-off between valuable conversations and accurate record-keeping, by automatically generating the key discussion points and themes from each Review. As the conversation progresses, crucial feedback and action points will be documented, helping to improve engagement, boost accuracy and shorten feedback loops.
By developing an integration with the CENTURY Connect API, we would are offering customers a choice of remote, fully integrated initial assessment and diagnostics that covers BKSB, Skills Forward and CENTURY. This development gives providers greater choice of who they select for functional skills assessment, without losing the benefit of an end-to-end system.
We plan to extend the reporting period filters, the final of several enhancements to the dashboard.

Unlock impactful, learner-centered support by shifting the focus from basic feedback to meaningful, constructive guidance.
Unlike generic chatbots, our virtual assistant is purpose-built for each learner’s apprenticeship programme, so its accuracy in relation to the apprenticeship standard is far higher than that of a standard large language model.
Using this approach gives learners more ownership of their learning journey, maximise learning momentum, and reduce the administrative burden for tutors to respond to repetitive questions.
By providing the ability to manually or automatically add review notes into key parts of the system, our enhanced functionality will reduce administration effort for the tutor and increase the accuracy of what is recorded. This will impact quality and compliance, and drive efficiency for our customers.
Apprentice
We’ve added a new OData field that allows you to report on each UKPRN separately, and therefore split and analyse your current reporting with greater precision. This means you can quickly and efficiently identify any issues that could impact funding.
Several changes have been implemented, including:

Skills Apprentice
Customers with the Communications Connector enabled can schedule reviews and meetings in Aptem and have these automatically appear in their Teams calendar, reducing the administrative burden of scheduling online activities. Customers can also choose to invite the learner and employer manager or mentor where appropriate, and the Connector will invite the attendees via email.
Rescheduling and cancelling of reviews and meetings can be done either within Aptem or the Teams calendar, meaning your calendars are always in sync with one another.
Tutors, learners and employers can access the Teams link for reviews, meetings, and placements and workshops from within the Aptem platform, creating a seamless user experience.

Checkpoint
The first of our Aptem Enhance features, Aptem Checkpoint, uses large language models (LLMs) and built-in knowledge of the KSBs to check a learner’s understanding throughout their apprenticeship, evidencing progress and acting as a supportive tool to successful completion.
Providing access to custom review data
With Aptem, providers can create and customise reviews that relate to stages throughout the learner journey. In order to give customers greater reporting and forecasting abilities with regard to the reviews functionality, we will surface valuable data, including responses, via a new OData feed.
GDPR control
We have created additional functionality that enables customers to remove learner-uploaded evidence, to help maintain compliance with data protection and GDPR regulations.
Aptem Assess enhancements
Following the launch of Aptem Assess in 2023, we have made several enhancements that
enable you to better identify and respond to Additional Learning Support (ALS) needs.
