The training providers stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

Cohort, learner management, ILR/ESFA submission, certification for UK training providers — Arlo, Accessplanit, Administrate — audit-ready by design.

01 · Cohort & learner management

The roster every team reads.

Enrolment to completion, cohort-level visibility, learner records that survive a staff change. Pulls from Arlo or Accessplanit, writes to the LMS, exports to the funder when the funder asks.

  • Enrolment + cohort tracking
  • Learner record continuity
  • Tutor + assessor allocation
  • Arlo, Accessplanit, custom
02 · ILR + ESFA submission

ILR clean on first submission.

For ESFA-funded provision: ILR field validation at point of enrolment, monthly extract built clean, reconciliation against funding rules — submission errors caught at the source, not after the rejection email.

  • Field-level ILR validation
  • Monthly extract automation
  • Funding-rule reconciliation
  • Apprenticeship + AEB ready
03 · Course delivery

Moodle, Canvas, custom — joined up.

Whatever the LMS, learners enrol once, progress writes back, the cohort dashboard shows who's on track and who's drifting — without three logins for the assessor.

  • Moodle / Canvas / custom LMS
  • Single-sign-on for learners
  • Progress write-back
  • Assessor cohort dashboard
04 · Certification + reissue

Certificates issued, reissued, audit-trailed.

PDF certificates generated on completion, signed where required, reissue requests handled in a click. The audit trail the awarding body wants, without a folder full of Word templates.

  • On-completion PDF generation
  • Awarding-body branding
  • Reissue + version history
  • Verification URL per cert
05 · Customer comms

Learner, employer, funder — one record.

Email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-platform — pulled into one learner thread with employer and funder copied where they need to be. Nothing slips between the apprentice, the line manager, and the EQA.

  • Multi-channel learner thread
  • Employer + line-manager loop
  • Automated milestone comms
  • EQA / IQA evidence trail
06 · BrainBase

Standards, schemes, exemplars — searchable.

Awarding-body standards, assessment plans, exemplar evidence, marking guides — indexed, searchable, owned. New assessors find the right scheme in seconds, not the wrong one before an audit.

  • Standards + scheme library
  • Exemplar evidence archive
  • Marking-guide index
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The ESFA-approved provider that cut ILR errors from 4.8% to 0.2%.

An ESFA-approved provider with 1,400 learners, ILR submission errors at 4.8%, two staff fixing returns each month.

An ESFA-approved provider ran enrolment in Accessplanit, course delivery in Moodle, and ILR extracts in a chain of spreadsheets. Monthly returns came back with 4.8% error rates, two staff spent the first week of every month resubmitting. Five-week build: ILR field validation enforced at enrolment, a monthly extract pipeline pulling cleanly from Accessplanit and Moodle, funding-rule reconciliation before submission. Six months in: error rate down to 0.2%, resubmission cycle gone, the compliance lead reclaimed eight working days a month.

How we measure: Error rate measured as ESFA-rejected lines divided by total ILR lines per monthly return; baseline taken across the prior six monthly submissions, typical measured across the next six. Time saved measured against compliance-lead time-tracking before vs after.
