Design structured learning programmes
Bud's Programme Design Suite gives training providers the tools they need to build structured learning programmes aligned to all qualifications, across all funding streams.
Within each programme, providers can design activities from scratch or draw from the Activity Library - a bank of pre-existing activities that can be added, adapted and reused across programmes, saving significant time when building at scale.
Each learning plan can be tailored to a learner's prior experience, with the information captured at enrolment feeding directly into how a programme is configured from day one.
"Programme management within Bud has been a game changer for us. Previously our coaches were pulling together their own content which, although it was high quality, meant an inconsistent experience for our learners. Bud enables us to still use Raise the Bar’s unique content but by uploading it to the platform we can be sure that all our coaches are working from the same core content and that the quality is high and consistent. Coaches can still personalise the delivery to each learner, but we know that the key models and assessments will be covered and evidenced."
- Janette Healey, Director of Operations, Raise the Bar
Bring your curriculum to life with trackable learning activities
Bud supports a wide range of activity types, including assignments, observations, practice tests, workshops and much more, giving providers the flexibility to design a learning experience that genuinely reflects their curriculum.
Trainer instructions and supporting resources can be attached directly to activities, ensuring that regardless of who is delivering, the standard of guidance remains consistent.
Learners can see exactly where they are in their programme at any point, with clear visibility of what's been completed, what's outstanding and what's coming next.
"Activities support tutors and learners to see where they are and what needs to be completed. It is also very easy to add and set a new activity as required. The filter function is helpful in keeping track on the portfolio as you can filter activities set, completed, outstanding etc., without having to trawl through all activities.”
- ABM
Evidence progress at every stage with structured reviews
As reviews approach, tutors receive automated reminders to ensure nothing slips through the gaps of a busy caseload. All relevant learner data is surfaced within the platform, including progress to date, off-the-job hours and outstanding activities, giving them everything they need before the review begins.
Employers can contribute comments in advance and digital signatures from the learner, employer and trainer are captured at the end of reviews.
As a result, you have a time-stamped, auditable record that supports your funding claims and keeps you Ofsted-ready throughout delivery.
