How does Onefile improve quality management?

Quality management is vitally important to successful apprenticeship delivery. 

Training providers need to make sure they're tracking the apprentice's learning journey and that the audit trail is transparent for Ofsted inspections and Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) audits. If quality isn't up to scratch, providers could receive a poor grade, have their funding stopped or even be barred from delivering apprenticeships. 

At Onefile we know just how important quality is. That's why we've designed our integrated learning system (ILS) to support quality management at every stage of programme delivery. This has made a massive positive difference to providers across the country, but how exactly does Onefile improve quality management? 

Personalising the curriculum 

Ofsted wants providers to personalise the apprenticeship curriculum according to each apprentice's prior learning and predicted grade. With Onefile, learners can rate their prior learning against the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) in the standard during the initial assessment. Tutors can then use this Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to personalise their curriculum delivery. 

Proving the progression of learning 

With Onefile's evaluation scorecard, you have an auditable record of your learner's progress throughout their apprenticeship. Learners can rate their learning as they continue, evidencing what they've learned at different stages along the way. Their scores are automatically plotted on a graph to show the progression of learning. 

Tracking off-the-job training 

Providers need a record of actual off-the-job hours to comply with ESFA funding rules. With Onefile, learners can record their hours on the timesheet and select whether each activity was completed on or off-the-job. 

Standardising resources 

Everyone in your organisation needs access to up-to-date records and resources. With Onefile, you can run real-time reports with live data and create standardised documents that are accessible to all. You can update these records whenever you need to so that everybody has the latest versions, helping to improve quality and standardisation across your organisation.  

Countless providers tell us how using Onefile has made their Ofsted inspections easier. In many instances, Ofsted inspectors have been so impressed to see how Onefile is deployed that its use has contributed to an Outstanding rating.  

Onefile has supported hundreds of organisations to achieve an 'Outstanding' grade. To find out exactly how Onefile works, how it can improve your quality management, and what other providers think, download your Ofsted guidance pack today.
