Apprenticeship e-portfolio and tracking software

Off-the-job training is one of the most scrutinised parts of apprenticeship funding. Providers have to show that each apprentice spends enough of their paid hours on genuinely new learning directly relevant to the standard, and that the activity is planned, logged and verifiable. When that evidence lives in a spreadsheet separate from the portfolio, it is easy for the recorded hours and the actual learning to drift apart — exactly the gap a funding audit looks for.

Journey keeps off-the-job hours on the same record as the evidence they relate to. Planned and logged hours are tracked against the configured target, and the off-the-job percentage is recomputed when hours are approved rather than estimated up front. Where a provider has approved recognition of prior learning, the recorded adjustment is reflected in that target for provider review.

Learners and tutors capture evidence against the knowledge, skills and behaviours drawn from the national catalogue, so every piece of work points back to the part of the standard it covers. That mapping is what makes the gateway pack meaningful: instead of a folder of files, the assessor sees coverage against the standard, the hours behind it, and the reviews that took place along the way.

Progress reviews and tripartite meetings are scheduled, recorded and signed by the right parties, with the signature captured against the record. Red/amber/green status surfaces learners who are falling behind on hours or coverage early enough to do something about it, rather than at the point the shortfall becomes a funding problem.

Recognition of prior learning can reduce the off-the-job target, subject to the published minimum for the applicable standard and funding year. Journey applies the configured floor when planned hours are computed and surfaces the result with its supporting record for provider review.
