Top 5 Features to simplify Apprenticeship assessment

1. Course builder

Due to Ecordia’s unique design it is possible to ‘build’ the entire apprenticeship course under one portfolio for your candidates, making the whole process simpler and easier for your assessors and candidates.  You can also create schemes of work and plan templates which can be applied to candidates at key learning stages, or as an when required, enabling the full integration of your programme design onto Ecordia.

2. Online Reviews

Eradicate paper completely, using our online review feature. Users will be able to schedule and complete progress reviews online, including candidates and workplace manager comments, which will remain in the portfolio for audit purposes.

3. Online Learning

Embed online learning materials into the Ecordia e-portfolio, providing a secure way to share learning materials with your candidates whilst protecting your IP and providing a blended learning experience for the candidate.

4. Holistic Assessment

With Ecordia it’s really straightforward to cross-reference evidence to more than one unit, simplifying the holistic assessment approach. On just one screen, even whilst viewing the evidence or preparing feedback, the user can reference the evidence to as many assessment criteria as they require, which will automatically update the evidence location sheets and even the progress once the feedback has been accepted!

5. IV Matrix

Ecordia’s IV Matrix enables you to create, monitor and maintain your IV strategy and sampling matrix online.  Input your strategy and the system will notify the appropriate Internal Verifier when items are available and/or overdue. With this advanced functionality you can create your own IV sampling plans online, the plan is then converted into a matrix which the system will monitor and signify to IVs when items are presented that need verification.
