Capture funding-critical data from the start 

Funding confidence starts before the learner does.

Bud’s digital enrolment workflow captures the information needed and builds a complete learner record – including learner details, employer information, programme choices, prior learning, agreements and supporting documentation.

Instead of relying on disconnected forms, spreadsheets or follow-up emails, Bud brings the right data into one structured workflow. That gives teams a clearer view of eligibility, reduces rekeying, and helps prevent gaps from entering the learner journey at the point they are hardest to fix later.

Childbase logo testimonial

"With Bud, we can all look after compliance, whether it’s somebody in finance or an administrator. It means that if someone is off work, anybody can step in. There are advantages from a return on investment perspective too, because we haven’t had to put as many people on the ground. Bud exceeds what we need.” 

- Kara Tuckey, Head of Apprenticeships Academy, Childbase

ILR Generation

Automated ILR generation and updates 

Bud uses the information captured during enrolment to generate the ILR for you.

As learners progress and records change, Bud updates the ILR – keeping records current without requiring teams to manually reconcile changes across multiple systems.

Programme details, learner status, breaks in learning, achievement outcomes and qualification progress all flow through structured workflows, leading to accurate funding records.

The result? Much less manual admin, far fewer avoidable errors, and a claim process that reflects what is actually happening in delivery.

"Bud’s workflows, which are designed to drive compliance, were really important to us – and the ILR pulling through is extraordinary.”  

- Tracy Clement, Apprenticeships Director, Supporting Education Group

Evidence connected

Keep evidence connected to every claim 

Bud captures evidence continuously as learning happens.

Learning activities, progress reviews, off-the-job hours, agreements, uploaded documents, feedback, employer input and learner communications all sit within the learner record.

Evidence is not gathered retrospectively or held across multiple places; it is created, stored and linked to the relevant stage of delivery.

For compliance teams, this creates a more reliable evidence base. For tutors and administrators, it reduces the pressure of chasing documents after the fact. And for leaders, it provides greater confidence that the operational record can support the funding claim.

Spot compliance image

Spot compliance risks – before they become funding issues 

Bud helps teams act early by surfacing compliance risks inside your day-to-day workflows.

Dashboards, reports and alerts flag missing documentation, overdue progress reviews, unsigned agreements, incomplete evidence, learners without scheduled next steps, or records that need attention before they create downstream risk.

Your teams don't need to wait for an audit exercise to understand where action is needed. Bud gives administrators, tutors and managers clearer visibility of what needs to be reviewed, followed up or corrected.

Audit-ready evidence image

Audit-ready evidence trails 

Every key action in Bud contributes to a structured learner record.

From enrolment through to completion, Bud records the data, documents, activity, communication and decisions that support delivery.

When learner files need to be reviewed, teams can see what happened, when it happened, and which evidence supports each stage of the journey.

The result? Audit preparation at the click of a button – not last-minute evidence gathering.

Registration and certifications image

Manage completion, certification and EPA workflows 

Funding and compliance don't stop when delivery is complete.

Bud offers structured completion, certification and EPA-related workflows, helping teams manage qualification progress, functional skills, additional aims, Gateway readiness, employer sign-off and outcome recording.

When qualification aims are completed and signed off, Bud updates the learner record and support the next stage of the certification process.

Dedicated views and reports help administrators track unregistered aims, certificates ready to claim, and records awaiting confirmation, giving teams a clearer operational grip on the final stages of the learner journey.
