How our customers are benefitting from Aptem
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.
Sammy Shummo, Group Director of Apprenticeships,
London South Bank University
Aptem has been one of the key drivers behind Corndel’s growth, as it has increased our operational efficiencies and simplified many of our processes. It has enabled us to spend more time focusing on quality, creating engaging learning journeys that meet the needs of our customers and their workforce.
Richard Bridge, Director of Learning Technology,
Corndel
It used to take us weeks of chasing – often up to 40 phone calls and emails – to get one apprentice onboarded. Now pretty much the entirety of that process is automated and streamlined within Aptem. That’s an enormous benefit.
Terry Hodgetts, Director of Corporate Client Solutions,
Aston University
We formed a Board for our apprenticeship provision, which is there to ensure our compliance obligations are met. It is therefore important that they have access to both quarterly and real-time compliance MI. The embedded Dashboards in Aptem focusing on Quality, Ofsted, Compliance and Funding are indispensable to us.
