Take the complexity out of your apprenticeship pre-enrolment process. With RPL Funding Calculator, you can recognise prior learning, adjust funding claims and check the viability of applicants online.

It’s cost-effective, convenient and compliant. You have a set process in place to show funding bodies, such as the DfE.

 

Key features and benefits

Funding Reduction Calculator

Review an applicant’s prior learning and the tool instantly shows the funding deduction a provider should expect – giving quick, data‑driven clarity on costs.

KSB Competency Skills Scan

Applicants self‑rate their knowledge against key skills and behaviours, then training providers review the scores to lock in a clear, agreed starting point.

Duration Reduction Calculator

Enter an applicant’s prior learning to instantly check if their apprenticeship can be shortened, or keep the full programme if that meets your course requirements.

Custom RPL
Rule Builder

Providers craft their own recognistion of prior learning rules once, then apply them consistently across every apprenticeship standard for a clear, uniform policy.

Compliant Funding Evidence Tool

Aligns with DfE rules (previously ESFA) to turn each applicant’s prior knowledge into auditable evidence – auto‑calculating the right duration and funding figure for every claim.

Seamless Eportfolio Integration

Once onboarding is complete, the skills‑scan data flows straight into Eportfolio, so the learner’s journey continues without a single manual upload.
