What apprentices build for education & FE
Five workflows education providers ship inside a TESS apprenticeship — every learner builds against your own student-data system.
Applicant scoring & yield forecasting
Train recruitment teams to forecast yield from application data — sharper marketing spend, smarter cohort sizing.
Timetabling & resource optimisation
ML-driven timetabling that respects pedagogy constraints and room utilisation — reducing room conflicts and lecturer overload.
Lead segmentation & content personalisation
Apprentices build CRM-based segmentation across prospective-student journeys — measurable conversion uplift inside the programme.
Data quality automation across MIS
Build pipelines that catch data-entry errors and missing fields before ESFA/HESA returns — fewer late nights at submission time.
Apprenticeship pathways for education & FE
Three pathways for education-sector roles — all levy-eligible.
AI Data Apprenticeship Level 3
For MIS administrators, recruitment co-ordinators and BI assistants who need real SQL, Python and BI skills.
AI & Automation Level 4
Flagship pathway for MIS leads, planning analysts and marketing managers — ship a live AI build.
AI for Team Leaders Level 4
For department heads, service managers and operations leads across HE, FE, MATs and training providers.
Frequently asked questions
Can we use this with our HESA / ESFA reporting cycles?
Yes — module 3 of L4 covers regulatory reporting infrastructure explicitly. Apprentices ship pipelines that make return submission cleaner.
How do you handle student data privacy?
All training uses synthetic data. Real-data projects only run inside your existing data-protection regime — supervised by your DPO.
Does this support OfS B-conditions?
L4 module 2 covers retention-AI explicitly — apprentices ship outcome-tracking infrastructure aligned to the B-conditions.
Can MATs run cross-school cohorts?
Yes — we run cohorts spanning multiple academies in the same trust, with shared case studies.
What about overseas student visa monitoring?
Module 4 covers UKVI compliance-tracking automation explicitly for HE providers.
