Free forever within the Core allowance

Run your apprenticeship provision free for up to 50 apprentices.

Journey Core gives verified UK providers the connected operational system they need from programme setup through learner progress. Applications are reviewed before access and provider access is confirmed in writing before activation.

What Core helps you do

A working product, not a limited demo

Core keeps the essential delivery record intact. Upgrade only when you need external assurance, automation or scale.

One operational record

Programmes, cohorts, learners, employers and delivery activity stay connected instead of being split across systems.

Plans through progress

Build learning and delivery plans, record attendance, OTJ learning, reviews, evidence and KSB progress.

Learner and employer workspaces

Give each party the right view, actions and signing responsibilities without consuming apprentice capacity.

Evidence that stays attached

Keep operational evidence, documents, decisions and signatures linked to the learner and programme record.

Humane capacity controls

Warnings start before the limit. Exceeding it never removes access to existing data, support or exports.

A clean route to Advance

Add agreed external-readiness, premium automation and advanced analytics without migrating to another product.

Plans

Start with a reviewed Core application. Add assurance when you need it.

Core is the real operating product, not a time-limited trial. Access is reviewed for verified UK apprenticeship training providers. Advance adds assurance, automation and scale without changing the record your teams already use.

Active apprentices and apprentices on a break in learning count towards Core's 50-apprentice allowance. Applicants, withdrawn and completed records do not count. Staff and employer accounts do not consume apprentice capacity.

Core warns at 40, 45 and 50 counted apprentices. If a provider exceeds 50, a 30-day grace period supports correction or upgrade while existing data, support and exports remain accessible.

Journey AI is an Advance capability, but hosted use remains unavailable unless provider, governance, role, resource and quota gates are satisfied. Core retains the complete deterministic Journey workflow without an AI dependency.

Journey Advance commercial terms are configured centrally and agreed through consultation and a written proposal. Enterprise capacity, implementation, identity and service arrangements are custom Advance contract terms. Managed services remain separate.

Managed operating services are scoped separately from software plans.

Evidence-linked and accountable by design

Built so your team can trace evidence, decisions and actions

Hard tenant isolation

Every record is scoped to your organisation on each read and write — one provider can never see another's data.

Append-only audit log

Every state change is recorded against the real person who made it, so the history stands up at audit.

Versioned DfE rule packs

Funding-sensitive figures use centrally managed packs selected by start date: 2024/25, 2025/26 and published 2026/27 version 3 coverage.

Governed AI

After provider, DPIA and release approval, Advance AI is metered per tenant and prepares authorised drafts and K/S suggestions for human review. It does not make regulated decisions or change the source record.

Evidence-led security controls

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

Your data and employers stay yours

No lock-in: export your data whenever you like, and your employer relationships always remain yours.

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