As generative AI rapidly reshapes education, apprenticeship programmes have a unique opportunity to transform their assessment practices for the better. This workshop explores an AI-driven vision for “assessment for learning” in apprenticeships, showing how emerging technologies can streamline assessment and feedback while enriching the apprentice experience. 

We will introduce cutting-edge examples – including Aptem Enhance, a new suite of AI features for apprenticeship delivery – to demonstrate how AI can automate routine tasks, generate personalised feedback, and support learners in real time.

Attendees will discover how these innovations improve efficiency (e.g. an AI marking aid that cuts grading time by up to 50%), enhance learning through timely, tailored support, and prepare students for a tech-driven world. Throughout, we emphasise a balance between innovation and academic integrity, discussing strategies to harness AI ethically and responsibly. 

The tone is forward-thinking and encouraging: when implemented thoughtfully, AI-powered assessment can be a game-changer that elevates human teaching rather than replacing it. This interactive session invites participants to reimagine apprenticeship assessment with AI as an ally – ultimately inspiring effective, future-ready practices that align with the conference’s vision of transforming learning through assessment.
