The government has designed apprenticeships to be diverse. As part of this, each programme must include training carried out both on, and 'off-the-job'.
It's a good idea to make sure that apprentices gain practical, work-based skills, as well as technical and theoretical know-how.
But it can be tricky to manage in practice, that's why OneFile is here to help. We've developed learning software where users can keep track of on- and 'off-the-job' learning, wherever and whenever they want. Across both types of learning, apprentices can upload evidence, record learning reflections, attach files, link training activities, access resources, send messages, map evidence to criteria and submit assignments online.
With OneFile, users can manage the entire learning journey online - anytime, anywhere, on any device. Tutors and managers can log in to OneFile and view their learner's portfolio, monitor progress, evaluate learning, send feedback and generate reports. By using an online system, you'll also get a complete audit trial of activity, ready to show auditors on inspection day.
With OneFile, it's just as easy to track progress against every aspect of the minimum off-the-job requirement. When a learner enters an activity, the system automatically calculates the amount of time spent 'off-the-job' as a percentage against the learner's contracted hours. This is displayed on the dashboard - so tutors, managers and learners can track progress easily.
Employers and training providers can attach a copy of each learner's commitment statement to their portfolio and access all their off-the-job records at the touch of a button.
With OneFile, it's easy to record, manage and evidence off-the-job training across all types of apprenticeships. Our software saves you money, improves quality, increases learner engagement, boosts achievement rates, revolutionises training delivery and offers an ideal solution for audits and inspections.
They're just some of the reasons we're the UK's leading apprenticeship software. Hundreds of respected institutions including colleges, training providers, businesses and public sector organisations already trust OneFile to deliver results.
But don't just take our word for it.
"OneFile is a flexible system that is easy to personalise to your centre's requirements, and for the learners to personalise so it really feels like their portfolio. OneFile is also really effective in promoting standardisation, generating reports for monitoring performance and making EQA visits easy. OneFile has also improved timely completion so assessors' time can be used more effectively - our completion rates are now 20% higher than the national average."
