Explore the Aptem Enhance features
Each new feature that is released makes the provider's job easier and more enjoyable, while also increasing the learner's chances of success.
Available now: Faster, more consistent marking
Aptem’s AI-driven marking tool enhances the learner experience by simplifying the submission and evaluation process. It enables tutors to mark learner submissions up to 50% faster, without compromising quality. With KSB criteria mapping and a human-in-the-loop approach, it helps to drive accuracy and efficiency, freeing up tutors’ time and allowing them to focus on personalised guidance that supports learner progress.
Available now: 24/7 access to information
The virtual assistant capitalises on momentum by providing answers whenever learners or tutors need them, regardless of provider bandwidth or availability.
Surfacing AI-generated responses mapped to the apprenticeship standards greatly improves relevancy and accuracy. The virtual assistant reduces administrative burden and helps apprentices take ownership of their learning in a way that suits them.
Available now: Objective progress monitoring
Monitor progress and support development, thanks to Aptem’s new learning tool. Aptem Checkpoint presents a series of questions to learners at relevant points in their apprenticeship, to boost learner confidence and provide an instant snapshot of their comprehension of Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs).
The tool also helps learners to foster a deeper understanding of on-the-job challenges, by allowing them to apply theoretical understanding of the skills and behaviours they’re working towards, via realistic scenarios in the context of their employment and programme of study.
Coming soon: Auto summarisation of reviews
Unlock valuable, learner focused reviews by shifting the focus from notetaking to coaching and feedback. Aptem’s review summarisation tool will eliminate the trade-off between valuable discussion and accurate record-keeping, by automatically documenting key discussion points, themes, feedback and action points as each review conversation progresses.
Review preparation features will pre-populate forms with relevant information from across the Aptem system, saving time and ensuring all parties come to review sessions well informed and ready for meaningful discussions.

A streamlined process that encourages clarity of expectations and standardised assessment criteria for consistency, fairness and efficiency.
Review summarisation
Apprentice
With Review summarisation, we hope to eliminate the trade-off between valuable conversations and accurate record-keeping, by automatically generating the key discussion points and themes from each Review. As the conversation progresses, crucial feedback and action points will be documented, helping to improve engagement, boost accuracy and shorten feedback loops.
Feedback assistant – available for Early Adopters
Unlock impactful, learner-centred support by shifting the focus from basic routine feedback to meaningful constructive guidance, tailored to each learner’s needs.
Virtual assistant and Checkpoint integration
Aptem has integrated its virtual assistant with the Checkpoint functionality. As a result, after completing a Checkpoint, the virtual assistant will be available to the learner, providing them with the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic. This timely intervention allows learners to enhance their understanding by engaging in targeted conversations right at the moment they are assessing their knowledge.
Marking aid – with intelligent KSB criteria mapping
Apprentice
Expanding on the initial iteration of Aptem’s marking aid, this feature introduces intelligent KSB criteria mapping to assist tutors during the marking process. The tool learns how you mark, every time you mark. With this human-in-the-loop approach, it helps to drive accuracy and efficiency, freeing up tutors’ time and allowing them to focus on personalised guidance that supports learner progress.
Feedback assistant – extended functionality
Achieve significant time savings without compromising feedback quality. By reducing the time taken to provide repetitive feedback, it allows for more personalised guidance that improves learner outcomes.
