This video summarises how Universities can use Aptem to support their Ofsted requirements. It explores a number of key areas, including:
It’s been less than a year since Ofsted took the reins from the Office for Students for assessing the quality of higher-level apprenticeships. All eyes were on Worcester University when it became the first HEI to have its report published in July 2021. Since then, inspection reports have slowly been filtering through, with mixed outcomes.
Steve Dewhurst, Independent Higher Education Consultant and HE Product Director at Aptem, has curated an analysis of recent reports, summarising ‘good practices’ and focus development areas, with a conclusion of what is needed in order to achieve a glowing report.
With contributions from Vince Cable, BIS Secretary from 2010 to 2015, Mandy Crawford-Lee at UVAC and Terry Hodgetts, Director of Corporate Client Solutions at Aston University, this white paper explores the history and rationale of the mandated qualification, the competing pressure on them with regard to integration, and the reasons why mandated qualifications matter.
The growth in the number of higher and degree apprenticeships offered by universities since their introduction by the government in 2015 has brought about some unique challenges for universities enrolling and managing new learners.
This guide outlines the core challenges universities are facing to deliver these apprenticeship programmes, and how an effective end-to-end apprenticeship technology solution can mitigate these challenges through a modern, technology-driven delivery solution.
We understand the challenges universities face surrounding higher level apprenticeships:
You need to communicate with existing systems. Use our APIs for university systems whilst making the most of Aptem’s apprenticeship features.
Working with employers brings with it the need to pass data audits. Aptem Apprentice stores all learner information in a single place which eliminates data complexity and makes passing audits easy.
Apprenticeship delivery means additional processes and systems, for example submitting ILRs for funding, so avoiding duplication is important. Aptem Apprentice streamlines processes, eliminating repetition, duplication and errors, with tools like automatic ILR validation and the Onboarding Wizard.
Copying materials between full-time student VLEs and apprentice VLEs is time consuming. Aptem Apprentice integrates with existing VLEs, linking learning delivery to the Skills, Knowledge and Behaviours of the Apprenticeship Standard and automatically tracks progression. By keeping existing VLE setups, and linking assets, it saves considerable time and effort.
Learning delivery takes many forms, from lectures to workshops to eLearning – you need to capture and map evidence. Assessments can be created in Aptem Apprentice with ease, with automatic evidence capture including links to external assessments to produce an ePortfolio for End Point Assessment.
From keeping everyone on track, to maintaining quality control and individual performance, our progress reporting and Predictive QAR® make spotting problems and fine tuning your programmes a snap.
