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.
View details
We are planning to expand our offering of functional skills integrations to include Century. This will add greater choice for our customers and a more seamless journey for providers who are already partnered with Century.
View detailsWe 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 detailsWe plan to accelerate the time taken to provide meaningful feedback on submissions, with our AI-powered marking aid.
View detailsWe are continuously improving the user experience and the value of the data provided in the Funding Dashboard Report.
View detailsTo provide learners with round-the-clock access to essential information, we developed a fully integrated assistant to deliver immediate responses to their learning related questions.
This 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 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 detailsThe 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.
View detailsWe 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.
View detailsWith 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.
View detailsWe have created additional functionality that enables customers to remove learner-uploaded evidence, to help maintain compliance with data protection and GDPR regulations.
View detailsAptem is regularly updated to comply with the latest apprenticeship funding rules and enhance user experience. We have made several updates to the ILR functionality that align with the 2024/25 apprenticeship funding rules.
View detailsFollowing 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.
Apprentice
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
By leveraging large language models and built-in knowledge of learner context, this assistant aims to give learners the answers they need, regardless of tutor availability or bandwidth. Using this approach, we hope to give learners more ownership of their learning journey, maximise learning momentum, and reduce the administrative burden for tutors to respond to repetitive questions.
Apprentice
By providing suggested improvements to elements such as spelling, grammar, punctuation and word count, this feature will reduce marking effort and help tutors focus on the quality and content of submissions.
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 be offering customers a choice of remote, fully integrated initial assessment and diagnostics that covers BKSB, Skills Forward and Century. This development would give providers greater choice of who they select for functional skills assessment, without losing the benefit of an end-to-end system. Further details to follow as the discovery phase progresses.
Several changes will be implemented, including:
For more information, see: Planned updates to the Power BI Funding Dashboard.
Skills Apprentice
We have added a Communications Connector with Teams that allows tutors to schedule / join online events in Teams directly from Aptem. With this update, Admins can seamlessly integrate the scheduling process with Teams, enhancing collaboration and convenience for all users. The Teams Communications Connector also allows Tutors and Learners to access workshops in Teams directly from the Aptem platform.

Aptem Checkpoint is designed to supplement one-to-one discussions, equipping tutors with invaluable insight into where their support is most needed, without requiring any additional time to prepare materials or schedule extra conversations.
Apprentice
We have further developed Aptem Assess to provide additional learning support resources, accessible via the resource centre, that can be used to modify a learner’s learning plan.
Skills Apprentice
We are enabling users to generate reports containing data from custom review questions, through OData.
This improvement will greatly reduce the administrative effort required by customers to collect key details from reviews, while also providing them with the data needed to satisfy reporting requirements.
Apprentice
Administrators now have the option to delete files that are uploaded by the user and stored in their ‘Documents’ area in Aptem.
