Aptem Apprentice is the end-to-end platform trusted by training providers across the UK to deliver compliantly, grow starts, and improve learner outcomes – from the sector’s largest names to ambitious mid-sized providers scaling fast. One highly configurable system handles everything from digital enrolment to ILR submission, adapting to how each provider works rather than forcing them to fit the platform.
Built-in AI features cut the admin burden that holds teams back, from automated review summarisation to learner progress monitoring, so tutors spend their time on teaching, not paperwork. The result: over 130,000 learners across the UK on programmes that are genuinely learner-led.
Aptem also offers dedicated platforms for employability and adult skills providers, and a standalone cognitive assessment tool used across the sector.
Over 60% of UK universities with an established apprenticeship provision use Aptem.
The UK’s largest independent training provider, Lifetime Training, chose Aptem to put its 17,000 learners at the heart of its provision. It reported a 16% increase in achievement rate after switching.
From Barnsley to Bradford, Aptem is the platform colleges use to bring learners, employers, tutors and compliance into one place, without the complexity of multiple systems.
Employer providers using Aptem have gone from DfE audits that caused stress and scrambling, to ones where every piece of evidence is available at the click of a button.
Chosen by NHS Trusts and their training partners across the country, Aptem manages apprenticeships, short courses, and CPD in a single platform built to handle the complexity of healthcare workforce development.
Aptem Employ reduces the time it takes to get jobseekers back into work by 50%, with vacancy access from most UK job boards and a full eLearning library built in.
Aptem is an important part of our growth journey. With a single, integrated platform, we can take on more clients and deliver an even better service.

LSBU has gone from learners having to wait up to five months to start using an online apprenticeship management system, to having it available on day one of their programme. That makes a huge impact on their engagement and progress.
Aptem is saving us an estimated £150,000 – £200,000 per year in administration cost and time.

Corndel has been using the Aptem platform since 2017 to both manage the compliance side of our apprenticeship delivery and deliver the actual learning. That we can cover off all that we need for our apprenticeship delivery all in one place makes it so much easier and more secure to manage. Without Aptem we quite simply could not deliver the quality service that we do for our clients and learners.

I cannot stress enough how impactful it’s been pushing everything into Aptem and making it a one-stop shop, particularly for the learner.
