Capella Associates - Award Winning Data Usage

Capella Associates are an independent training provider who have been putting their trust in Onefile since 2020. Recently, they have achieved a Gold Award for Innovation at The Learning Excellence awards in Birmingham, highlighting their on-going commitment to advancing education. Leveraging a nightly Onefile data export, Capella have developed a Power BI dashboard aligned with the apprenticeship accountability framework.  

The data essentially informs learner engagement through the detailed analysis of all the learner activity and assessor observations and reviews.  Incorporated into a visual dashboard, this gives them rapid insights at the touch of a button into their performance against funding rules and guidelines, facilitating quick access to operational metrics and allowing informed decisions in compliance and achievement tracking. 

"Through extracting the relevant information from Onefile, we've significantly improved the quality and accessibility of our data. This has enabled us to spend more time implementing improvements.  For example, the team created an early-warning dashboard so that we can see instantly when learners are going off-track and plan interventions to recover." 

Kate Smith, Managing Director. 

Amrik Gill, Operations Director, emphasises the pivotal role of data in their continuous improvement-focused business. Data drives their key performance indicators, preventing reliance on external assessments. This data not only showcases delivery effectiveness, but also tracks learners' progression and adherence to specific standards. Utilising Power BI for trend analysis, they tailor monthly program reviews with employers based on this information, facilitating targeted discussions about learner performance and collaborative planning to ensure timely completion. This data-driven approach underscores their commitment to proactive management and informed decision-making. 

"Onefile to us, is our business. Because that's how we're monitoring everything that we do. It's part and parcel of what we do."
