How we help Training Providers
Improve Pass Rates
Training providers can significantly boost the pass rates in their learners with the help of the Pass service, giving learners the best possible chance of achieving their qualification.
Exam Ready
The Pass courses feature personalised learning plans and real-time progress tracking through the proprietary Current Level system, enabling tutors to know precisely when each learner is ready to sit their exam.
DfE & Ofsted Compliant
All courses are aligned with the National Standards for Adult Literacy and Numeracy and include diagnostic assessments that generate individual learning plans. Learner progress data can be exported into reports formatted for DfE compliance and Ofsted inspections, keeping providers audit-ready at all times.
Integrations
The functional skills software integrates seamlessly with platforms such as OneFile and other learner management systems, allowing providers to monitor learner progress across all key data points from a single, centralised location.
Reduce Workload
The platform is designed to lighten the load for tutors, streamlining day-to-day tasks and freeing up time to focus targeted support on the learners who need it most.
