We know it’s important that your delivery system meets your unique needs. We're here to help.
Aptem has allowed us to merge our MIS and our learner portfolio systems into one place, so we can now truly go out and say we have an end-to-end system for our learners and employers. It has also given us our first foray into ePortfolios for our education learners, so that’s a huge step forward. We now have real-time reporting and real-time performance management of our staff.
Ryan Palmer
Director of Quality and Impact
Throughout our journey with Aptem we have been supported by experts. One of the biggest benefits of the Aptem system is its ability to work across multiple funding streams. A highly customisable and configurable system requires a higher level of human support. The Aptem team gets this, they are always available and fully accountable. Whatever strategic direction we have wanted to go in – delivering apprenticeships, AEB, Aptem has been able to support us. This is essential for a long-lasting partnership.
Benjamin Stormer
Head of Quality
Aptem allows us to onboard learners and complete compliance documents remotely and efficiently, which has been imperative in the current climate and reduced the time spend on admin. With Aptem’s distance learning functionality, we can continue to provide our clients with excellent training online.
Paul Wileman
CEO
We chose to work with Aptem, after looking at several alternatives, as the entire learning journey (from sign up through to EPA) is embedded into the platform. This saved us money as we could consolidate a number of existing systems in one. Additionally, the investment required demonstrated exceptional value for money and the level of customer service is refreshingly ‘on it’.
James Taylor
Commercial Director
I’ve worked with other ePortfolios in other companies and Aptem is simple and intuitive to use. We have had similar feedback from learners. Aptem is future-proofing our delivery and it’s working brilliantly.

Case studies
YMCA
Implementing a solution that can be used across multiple programmes types, including AEB and Apprenticeships.
“The fact that we went live on the day we committed to going live was, for us, a great achievement, particularly given the complexities of the build. From a management perspective, it has given us access to a huge swathe of live reports, something we didn’t have before. And that allows us to have real-time reporting and real-time performance management of our staff.” Ryan Palmer, Director of Quality and Impact, Central YMCA
