A mobile-first learner portal for the work that matters

What is an apprenticeship learner portal?

An apprenticeship learner portal is a self-scoped workspace where an invited apprentice can complete programme activity and see progress without access to staff administration or another learner's records.

What can an apprentice do in Journey?

An invited apprentice can use Journey on mobile or desktop to record OTJ activity, submit evidence, view progress and tasks, attend reviews, sign documents, access resources and contact support. It is a responsive web app, not a native mobile app, and it explains retry options when connectivity fails.

Brings together what used to be separate tools

Evidence and OTJ

Capture evidence and off-the-job activity against the learner's standard and current plan.

Clear next steps

Direct shortcuts surface tasks, reviews, signatures, resources and support without staff-only navigation.

Self-scoped privacy

The learner role is designed to limit browsing to the learner's own record and permitted actions.

Responsive recovery

Mobile layouts and explicit retry guidance keep common workflows usable when a request fails.

One focused place for programme activity

The learner portal removes the operational navigation intended for staff and brings the apprentice's evidence, hours, reviews and support routes together. Every action still contributes to the same programme record used by tutors and assessors.

Built so your team can trace evidence, decisions and actions

Tenant-scoped access controls

Tenant-scoped access controls are designed to keep each provider's records separate on reads and writes.

Controlled audit history

Significant application state changes are recorded against the person who made them, supporting a traceable history.

Published funding-rule packs

Journey applies supported, versioned DWP funding-rule packs selected from the apprentice's start date, including 2026/27 version 3, to support provider review.

Bounded AI assistance

Learners should be able to find their plan, next session and evidence without seeing another learner’s records. Journey AI is permission-scoped and supports the work each authorised role is allowed to see.

Evidence-led security controls

Tenant isolation, access controls, audit records and governed operations are designed into the platform.

Your data and employers stay yours

Export options are available under the applicable terms, and employer relationships remain with the provider.

Journey is independent software and is not DWP, DfE or Ofsted approved. It does not guarantee funding or inspection outcomes.

Questions providers ask

• Is Journey a native mobile app?

  No. The learner experience is a mobile-first responsive web app that works in a modern browser.

• Can a learner sign up without an invitation?

  No. Provider owners can create a Journey Core workspace, but learners join a provider relationship through a secure invitation.
