AI Engine
AI built for apprenticeship delivery.
Not a generic chatbot.
Practical automation that saves tutors and quality leads hours every week. Each feature is built around the specific workflows of UK apprenticeship delivery.
01
Standard ingestion
Upload any IfATE standard PDF. AI extracts all KSBs, assessment criteria, gateway requirements, and recommended curriculum structure in minutes — no manual data entry.
02
Evidence tagging
When learners describe their work, AI maps it to the correct KSBs. Tutors review and approve — they don't start from scratch. Coverage gaps are surfaced automatically.
03
Review preparation
Before each progress review, AI summarises learner activity, highlights KSB gaps, flags OTJ shortfalls, and suggests discussion points. Review prep drops from hours to minutes.
04
Early warning system
Pattern recognition spots at-risk learners before they fall behind gateway. AI flags OTJ shortfalls, engagement drops, and missed review deadlines automatically.
05
Course generation
AI generates full courses mapped to your IfATE standard — with lessons, quizzes, activities, and assessments calibrated for apprenticeship delivery and KSB coverage.
06
Writing analysis
AI reviews learner submissions for quality, relevance, and KSB alignment — providing structured feedback so tutors focus on higher-level coaching, not first-pass marking.
07
Tutor Copilot
An AI assistant inside the tutor dashboard. Draft feedback, get suggestions, ask questions about a learner's journey — with full context of their programme and KSB progress.
08
RAG document intelligence
Upload standards, handbooks, policies, and ESFA funding rules. AI ingests and indexes them, powering content generation, compliance checks, and contextual answers across the platform.

FAQ
Common questions from UK apprenticeship and training providers
Can TIQPlus replace OneFile or Aptem?
Yes. TIQPlus replaces OneFile, Aptem, and Smart Assessor with a single AI-powered platform that includes full e-portfolio functionality, LMS content delivery, OTJ tracking, EPA readiness scoring, and Ofsted-ready reporting. Migration includes all learner data, evidence history, OTJ records, and programme structures.
How does TIQPlus handle KSB mapping?
Upload any IfATE apprenticeship standard and TIQPlus AI extracts all KSBs, assessment criteria, and gateway requirements automatically. When learners submit evidence, AI maps it to the relevant KSBs and flags coverage gaps. Tutors review and approve in a unified marking workspace.
How does TIQPlus track OTJ hours?
Learners log OTJ activities with date, duration, and activity type. Tutors verify and approve hours. The platform tracks cumulative OTJ against the minimum threshold for each standard, showing real-time progress toward gateway and flagging learners falling behind pace.
Does TIQPlus support Skills Bootcamp delivery?
Yes. TIQPlus supports Skills Bootcamp delivery with flexible programme structures that fit the DfE-funded 12–16 week model, employer engagement tracking including interview guarantee requirements, and learner outcome reporting aligned to the DfE Provider Data Dashboard.
How does TIQPlus help with Ofsted inspections?
TIQPlus generates Ofsted-ready documentation from structured programme data — learner journey summaries, KSB coverage reports, OTJ tracking logs, progress review records, and quality assurance audit trails. Tutors can produce a full learner file in minutes rather than hours.
What ESFA reporting does TIQPlus support?
TIQPlus generates ESFA-aligned reports including ILR data exports, Bulk Learner Data compatible outputs, and DfE Provider Data Dashboard-aligned Skills Bootcamp outcome reports — all from live platform data, with no manual manipulation required.
What apprenticeship standards does TIQPlus support?
All of them. Upload any IfATE apprenticeship standard and TIQPlus's AI extracts the structure, KSBs, and assessment criteria automatically. We support degree apprenticeships, standards, and frameworks across all levels and sectors.
How long does implementation take?
Most providers are live within 4 weeks. We handle data migration from existing systems, SSO setup, and team training. For providers migrating from OneFile, Aptem, or Smart Assessor, learner history comes with the migration.
