Want a quick overview?

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

Having originally been looking for an ePortfolio platform, we were hugely impressed with the one-stop shop element of Aptem and the seamless learner experience that comes with it. We are extremely resource-limited, so being able to automate much of the process is of critical importance to us.

Donna Hinchcliffe

ICT Project Manager

We were impressed by the functionality that Aptem offered, as well as the robust plans for future development and its potential as a system that could grow with our organisation. In terms of the support you get from Aptem, you couldn’t fault it.

Natalie Hare

Head of Operations

Aptem proved to be an invaluable asset during our recent ESFA audit, providing a seamless experience from start to finish. Its intuitive layout facilitated smooth navigation for our auditor, while the integration of the ILR within Aptem significantly streamlined our processes. Accessing data and generating reports was a breeze, alleviating any unnecessary stress. Additionally, the responsive help desk promptly addressed any issues encountered, further enhancing our satisfaction with Aptem's performance

Case study

YMCA

Implementing a solution that can be used across multiple programmes.

“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

Efficiency and consistency through open-API standards

A single source of data that works across the entire delivery is essential to achieve accuracy and ‘one version of the truth’. Aptem offers a range of standard integrations: EPA Pro, Skills Forward, BKSB, Cognassist, EQUAL, NAS, and PRaP. Additionally, we have an open API for third-party systems to integrate with. Our current customers have integrated the likes of Salesforce, SITS, Banner, Quercus, Tribal ebs, and customer websites. We are also offering a Communications Connector with Microsoft Teams.

Aptem supports Single Sign On, so once you are in a system you can access Aptem without additional log-ins. Aptem enhances security by using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and also supports Multi-Factor Verification (MFV) for document signing.

Strategic decision-making using data

When you use Aptem your data is held centrally, allowing you to easily report and analyse. There are a number of built in reporting tools along with more detailed Power BI Dashboards within Aptem and we’re adding to these all the time.

Aptem Intelligence Dashboard

Synonymous with Aptem’s data-driven approach, the Aptem Intelligence Dashboard turns ESFA apprenticeship reporting data into useful, digestible reports, using Power BI.

It is a repository of sector expertise allowing Apprenticeship providers to view competitive market positions, identify opportunities, and make data-driven strategic decisions. It is available for everyone to use.
