eSignUp, our flag ship apprenticeship enrolment system provides an efficient solution to the complex funding rules and individualisation required to onboard all apprentices. It integrates with the DAS, allowing users to publish vacancies and for candidates to apply directly. It also has a professionalised approach for employers and apprentices to electronically sign and retain all documentation. You’ll be audit ready every day.

“eSignUp has paved the way to a simplified and time efficient process for both North Kent College and our employers to recruit and onboard our new apprentices. The training and support given by the eSignUp team has been first class and I would highly recommend the use of the eSignUp platform to any Apprenticeship Training Provider”.

The dashboard drills down to individual recruitments and can be filtered by apprenticeship standards or staff member, providing all the data you need for management information.

Signed Up Evidence Packs

Everything is in one place in the SignedUp tab, so you are never caught out searching for signatures or missing information when Ofsted or the auditor calls. The big ticks show the documentation fully signed; the different coloured key represents exactly who has signed it. Once signed, evidence packs are automatically sent to Candidates and Employers. The dashboard displays monthly actual and forecast so you can easily track progress against apprenticeship targets for the year.

Users can upload vacancies to the DAS allowing candidates to apply directly into eSignUp.

eSignUp also handles Direct Recruits, restarts and change of employer.

Skills Scans

Complete standardised skills scans using the published apprenticeship standards knowledge, skills, and behaviours as part of the vocational initial assessment. Liaise with the employer, by sending a copy electronically for approval and comment if they’re not available at the meeting. Customise your apprentices’ individual training plans in response to skills already acquired.

Standardised Calculations

The percentage of prior learning (based on your bespoke scale) calculates the off-the-job hours and total training hours, including Maths and English and programme duration allowing the training plan to be adjusted accurately in relation to the RPL. The price of each apprenticeship is accurately calculated considering the apprentices’ prior knowledge, skills, age, employer size and funding status.

Employer Partnerships

Easily create an individual learning plan for each apprentice with clearly defined roles and responsibilities for the apprentices’ training. Develop a productive partnership approach to training with your employers. Your apprentice and employer agree the amount of training hours they are committing to from day 1, supporting the apprentice to have an early, positive impact on the business.
