The Aptem Area Analysis Tool has been renamed as the Aptem Intelligence Dashboard (AID). This acknowledges the intelligence it provides to apprenticeship providers when helping them plan their apprenticeship offering. Providers have access at their fingertips to all published UK apprenticeship sector data 2017 – 2019. Data includes numbers, types and apprenticeship programmes offered and by which training provider. Users have the ability to interact with the data as desired. You may access the Aptem Intelligence Dashboard here.

Richard Alberg is the Chief Executive of MWS. He commented: “The AID is another of our interactive dashboards. It is designed to enable those in the sector to have greater control of their apprenticeship business. At MWS, we put data at the forefront of our offering. The AID is one example of how our talented data team create tools that have a transformational impact. For the first time, providers are able to drill into Department for Education published data in a way that is truly useful to their business.”

Aptem Area Analysis Tool now contains 2017 – 2019 apprenticeship data

We have updated our interactive Aptem Area Analysis Tool to include 2018/2019 ESFA apprenticeship data. So, providers can view trends, analysis and statistics of the UK apprenticeship industry 2017 – 2019. This is the first time this recently published data is available in a usable fashion to help providers plan their apprenticeship offering.

A broad range of apprenticeship delivery information is available through the Aptem Intelligence Dashboard. You can filter the information, as well as scroll through different data views. The data includes information to help providers:

  • Identify the number and types of apprenticeships delivered in each local authority district. Simply click on the map of England to zoom into a specific location/s (view 4);
  • Identify in which areas across the country a training provider delivers learning and to how many learners (view 3);
  • Learn which apprenticeship programmes are delivered in your area. Simply click on the map of England to zoom into a specific location to see how many learners have started apprenticeships split by subject and level (view 5);

Words from Richard Alberg

Richard Alberg, Chief Executive of MWS, commented: “MWS is the first to present an analysis of 2017 – 2019 ESFA apprenticeship data in such a useful way. We’re helping providers make the right decisions for their apprenticeship offering, dependent on regional market demand, trends and gaps. We are proud to be using data yet again to broaden our offering to providers – just last month, we launched visual reporting dashboards with embedded Power BI.”

MWS Technology wins EducationInvestor Award 2019

EducationInvestor Awards 2019 winner

We are thrilled to announce that we have been judged to be the winner of the ICT – platforms and applications category of the EducationInvestor Awards 2019.

The company makes good use of data and machine learning without overhype of artificial intelligence. MWS/Aptem stands out as an innovative offer that works in one of the most difficult educational spaces – apprenticeships. It solves the muddle that existed in this market pre-Aptem. It looks as though MWS has created a one-stop-shop solution. Very impressive.”

“To win an EducationInvestor Award is a tribute to the accomplishments of our dedicated team. We are delighted that the judges recognised Aptem’s unique ability to transform apprenticeship delivery, affecting citizens, employers and government, and materially advancing the education sector,” commented Richard Alberg, MWS Technology’s Chief Executive.

Greater insight, seamless compliance and more control over your apprenticeship delivery

Aptem's power bi dashboards

Aptem clients now have more detailed insight, seamless compliance and greater control over their apprenticeship delivery with Power BI dashboards.

We are delighted to announce that we have developed four integrated Power BI dashboards. This means they can instantly access the end-to-end data that sits within their Aptem system and have the information that helps ensure compliance and puts them in control of their business.

This is a major and transformational enhancement. No other technology platform can deliver this as integrated dashboards since Aptem is the only end-to-end system, with a separate database per training provider. View our short explainer video here.

The four Power BI dashboards are:

Compliance Dashboard – live

The Compliance dashboard provides an overall picture of how compliant your learners are in regards to a number of key compliance elements. MIS/compliance officers can see, at a glance, where there may be gaps in your compliance documentation and, used alongside your own internal compliance audit procedures, will assist towards ensuring compliance for ESFA funding purposes.

Caseload Dashboard – live

The Caseload dashboard has been designed to allow you to get an overall picture of each of your case owner’s (assessor’s) learners. The dashboard will provide the key delivery metrics needed to ensure that each learner is being seen and progressed as required and should identify learners who may need additional resources in order for them to achieve their qualification in a timely manner.

Ofsted / Quality Dashboard – live

At a snapshot and in real-time, you can see your data for Ofsted at any point, before, during or after a visit. The information provides details on previous Ofsted reports and ESFA funding allocations (if published) and is filterable on the fly. As you move around the data, it dynamically moves with you, so you can drill down wherever you want. Don’t wait until Ofsted ask – be prepared and pre-empt questions from Ofsted.

Financial Dashboard – live

This dashboard allows you to see an indication of the funding that should be due to you for learners completing Standards or Frameworks. The dashboard shows estimated income for previous and forthcoming claim periods. It also gives a high-level breakdown of the component elements of each learner’s funding claim. You can review overall claim amounts and YTD figures as well.

Integrated Power BI dashboards are a transformational resource for your organisation. To learn more, please email hello@aptem.co.uk.

Reducing the stress of Ofsted visits

Ofsted visits are notoriously stressful – if you’re caught off guard, staff can end up in a panic trying to reconcile all the data and information to present to Ofsted. Aptem instils a sense of calm with a selection of features that drive, and effectively demonstrate to Ofsted, progression and development.
