What is Aptem?
Aptem develops technology that enables people to learn and improve their lives. Its products are designed to make the delivery of skills and employability training simple. Aptem’s flagship product is Aptem Apprentice, an apprenticeship management system, utilising AI features to ensure regulatory compliance, support funding management, and increase learner success.
Since 2009, our scalable apprenticeship, vocational training, and employability software has supported providers and learners with the tools they need. Our dedication to education and employability has enabled Aptem to become the market-leading apprenticeship delivery software, supporting over 130,000 learners every day across the UK.
We offer a range of products, to suit different vocational training programmes: Aptem Apprentice is a complete end-to-end apprenticeship delivery platform. Using Aptem Enrol enables secure, remote onboarding, allowing learners to easily access their programmes. Aptem Employ is our unique self-service job seeker portal that reduces the time taken to find work by 50%. The Aptem Skills software delivers the adult skills fund, bootcamps and commercial learning to increase employability.

I cannot stress enough how impactful it’s been pushing everything into Aptem and making it a one-stop shop, particularly for the learner. Our learners are telling us that it is easy to use, great to track their progress and full of all the information they need. Since moving to Aptem, satisfaction with learning technology has improved by 6%. The end result of this is that 90% of achievers state that ‘their performance has improved as a result of achieving their apprenticeship’.
Dom Wilkinson
Product Owner
In Aptem we have found a partner that provides expertise in the HE sector, has a flexible system to meet the specific demands of high-quality degree apprenticeships and can evolve in line with our future needs and aspirations. We believe it will deliver an improved experience for learners, employers and colleagues across our degree apprenticeship portfolio.
Katie Nykanen
Group Chief Technology Officer
The industry as a whole is constantly evolving, as evidenced by the significant changes to the funding rules in August 2022. Layer that with our curriculum demands, client requirements and growth ambitions. We needed a system that is agile and a team behind it that can react quickly.
Richard Bridge
Director of Learning Technology
Aptem Enrol is user-friendly, flexible and allows for compliant remote-onboarding. We anticipate that it will save us administrative time and money and save on mileage and printing costs, meaning that all-important first meeting with the learner can be focused on teaching and learning.
Daniel Dowson
Director of Funding and MIS
Aptem was several miles ahead of everybody else. A good apprenticeships management system isn’t just about the administration. It’s about the user experience, both for the apprentice and for the employer. In Aptem, we found a tool that is truly adding value to the service that we’re delivering.
Terry Hodgetts
Director of Corporate Client Solutions
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 spent on admin. With Aptem’s distance learning functionality, we can continue to provide our clients with excellent training online.
Paul Wileman
CEO
We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Aptem as our online ePortfolio provider. All aspects of the organisation will have a clear view of our apprentices' journey with an enhanced enrolment process and streamlined procedures that span the whole apprenticeship. Our ongoing ambitions to grow our apprenticeship provision will be supported by this fantastic investment.
Lynsey Whitehead
Director of Business Engagement, Partnerships & Apprenticeships
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
We were particularly impressed by the enrolment functionality within Aptem, with its ease of use for both apprentices and trainers. From an SLT perspective, we will now be able to report from one platform on all areas of the apprenticeship provision, which will have a huge impact on our ability to scale and make data-driven decisions.
