The benefits of apprenticeship management software

Delivering consistent, high-quality training is rife with challenges. There’s a huge amount of admin involved, not to mention strict regulations to comply with. Luckily, apprenticeship management software is on hand to make the process feel seamless.

We all know how valuable apprenticeships are. For learners, they’re an effective way to gain the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours to succeed in their chosen sector, providing a genuine alternative to university education.

For businesses, apprenticeships ensure every employee is properly trained for their industry and provide opportunities for people to upskill and progress in their roles.

However, apprenticeships can be complicated to manage. You need up-to-date insight into which learners are progressing and which are falling behind, as well as peace of mind that you’re fully compliant with funding requirements.

Here’s how choosing a joined-up apprenticeship management solution like Bud can take the headache out of training delivery.

Save time and reduce admin for trainers

Bud eliminates the need for multiple platforms or paper-based processes, which not only saves time but reduces the risk of human error. Data is collected and stored in one convenient location, so you can be sure that you have all the evidence you need when your next ESFA audit comes around.

This frees up your team to spend more time delivering high-quality training and less time on paperwork.

With Bud, trainers can benefit from:

• Better communication. Successful apprenticeships hinge on trainers and students’ ability to communicate quickly. Learners and trainers can message within Bud’s app, meaning feedback can be given quickly and all communications and events are captured.
• Visibility over engagement. Trainers can RAG (Red, Amber, Green) rate learners to easily track progress throughout the course. This allows trainers to see learners at risk of withdrawal and take action to improve engagement.

Empower learners to take control

Bud’s apprenticeship management solution is designed to make it as easy as possible for learners to collect evidence of their achievements during work.

Learners can upload photographs, evidence of learning or comments directly from their smartphone, at any time and any place. They can also review their next steps and keep on top of their learning. The result? Faster progress and minimal disruption.

With Bud, employers benefit from:

• Empowered learners. Bud gives learners access to their learning plan from any device, so they know exactly where they are on the programme.
• Real-time data on progress. With Bud’s industry-leading reporting suite, employers can access real-time information on the status of each learner and monitor progress.
