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 detailsWe plan to provide the option for tutors to make in–line annotations when marking learners’ uploaded evidence.
View detailsThis feature will pose questions about the application of knoweldge to skills and behaviours during the learner’s practical period to help provide an accurate and objective reflection of progress against KSBs.
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 will be reviewing the 2024/25 apprenticeship funding rules with a view to making necessary adjustments in Aptem to help you ensure compliance.
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 detailsTo provide learners with round-the-clock access to essential information, we are creating an assistant designed to deliver immediate responses to frequently asked questions.

View detailsWe have delivered a number of valuable feature enhancements to Aptem Assess, our cognitive assessment tool. The next development phase will see the creation of 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 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 created additional functionality that enables customers to remove learner-uploaded evidence, to help maintain compliance with data protection and GDPR regulations.
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.
View detailsWe have added custom withdrawal reasons to provide flexibility in reporting and internal governance, whilst retaining ESFA compliance.

Following the launch of Aptem Checkpoint, the first of our Aptem Enhance products, 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 will include features such as:
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
With this feature, we hope to allow tutors to work more efficiently, while maintaining the highest standards of marking quality. Tutors can focus on providing in-depth, personalised feedback to learners by adding comments where the feedback applies within the uploaded evidence, without leaving the Aptem system.
Apprentice
We plan to 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.
Skills Apprentice
We have added a Communications Connector with Teams that allows tutors to schedule / join online events in Teams directly from Aptem. This feature is important for administrators who are responsible for scheduling online meetings – it enables them to easily find and schedule online meetings, ensuring that upcoming online meetings can take place as planned. With this update, Admins can seamlessly integrate the scheduling process with Teams, enhancing collaboration and convenience for all users. Find out more.
Apprentice
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 are further developing 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.
Apprentice
Aptem is regularly updated to comply with the latest apprenticeship funding rules and enhance user experience.
Further details will follow here when version 1 of the 2024/25 rules is published.

Latest Aptem Assess enhancements include:

Administrators can now add custom withdrawal reasons to the ‘Withdrawal from learning’ tracker. This means greater insights into reasons for withdrawal, whilst still outputting the correct ESFA withdrawal reason in the ILR batch file.
When you use Aptem your data is held centrally, allowing you to easily report and analyse. There are a number of built-in reporting tools along with more detailed Power BI Dashboards within Aptem and we’re adding to these all the time.
The best way to experience our platform is through a consultative chat with one of our friendly experts. They can take you through the system and show you the benefits of Aptem that are most relevant to your business.
