Watch Behaviourally in action
The perception problem
Spreadsheets don't feel like verification, neither does a scorecard.They feel like homework.
From August 2026, employers must confirm every apprentice has demonstrated the behaviours in their occupational standard before any certificate is issued. Not assessed by an EPAO. Not graded. But documented, defensible, and verified by the employer.
Line managers are busy. Save time without compromising quality.
Paper pro formas create identical looking evidence
Providers need confidence that behavioural evidence is robust and auditable
Behaviours do not affect pass rates but they carry the employer's reputation
“The expensive mistake is not investing in software. It is leaving behavioural evidence buried in emails and spreadsheets”
“We did not remove behaviours from apprenticeships. We moved them to the only place they ever made sense.”
The sensible reading of the 2025 reforms
Remarkably simple
Three steps, for simplistic verification.
Choose the standard
Behaviourally includes pre-built behavioural assessments aligned to apprenticeship standards. Employers can use the suggested assessments or create their own questions to reflect their organisation's requirements. All assessments have been developed by industry experts, drawing on 1st Awards' years of experience as an Assessment Organisation.
Compliance-ready from the start.
Verify behaviours
Employers review apprentice submissions and can edit, refine or add feedback before approving them. Behaviourally provides AI-assisted guidance to highlight areas for improvement and identify whether responses align with the behaviour being evidenced.
Simple for employers. Meaningful for apprentices.
Evidence with confidence
Every submission is time-stamped, verified and securely stored. Create a complete audit trail of behavioural development that can be downloaded in multiple formats for quality assurance, compliance reviews and Gateway preparation.
Compliance-ready from day one.
AI marking assistance
Give your managers more time to lead and less time on Administration
In the product, line managers complete each behaviour assessment with their own observations and uploaded evidence. The AI marking engine, powered by configurable behaviour questions from the apprenticeship standard, then drafts structured audit ready wording, checks for gaps, and calibrates language across your team. The manager reviews every word before submission.
This is not a shortcut
The manager still watched the apprentice. They still attach real evidence. They still sign off with their name on the line. The AI removes the forty five minutes of staring at a blank form trying to sound like an auditor. That is not cutting corners. That is removing friction from the only part that was never adding value.
This is not a shortcut
Every behaviour is still observed by the manager. Every piece of evidence is still genuine. Every submission is still reviewed and approved by the manager. Behaviourally simply removes the time spent turning those observations into structured evidence, saving time without compromising quality or accountability.
How it works in the product
- 1
Manager records what they saw
Short prompts per behaviour, drawn from your apprenticeship standard. Notes in plain English. Photos and documents uploaded as evidence.
- 2
AI drafts against the standard
Our marking engine maps responses to behaviour criteria, suggests structured wording, and flags the missing criteria. Calibrated to the same standard every time.
- 3
Manager reviews and submits
Human judgement is always final. Managers review and approve every submission, while the platform automatically timestamps each step to create a robust audit trail.
Time Saved
Per behaviour verification
Down from 30 to 45 minutes of form writing and second guessing.
1 voice
Consistent approach
Every manager follows the same structured approach, keeping feedback consistent.
100%
Human sign off
AI assists the record. The manager owns the verification.
0
Auto approvals
Nothing passes without a manager explicitly confirming it.
Human in the loop, always
The AI never submits on its own. Every verification requires explicit manager review and sign off.
Time returned to real work
Managers spend minutes, not hours, on the administrative record of what they already know.
Consistent approach
Every manager follows the same structured approach, keeping feedback consistent.
What you get
Features are personalisable. Time saved is what you buy.
Per behaviour assessment flows
Using Behaviourally ensures that each apprentice and their behaviours are assessed consistently and reliably.
AI marking assistance
Turns manager notes into evidence aligned to the standard in minutes. They still verify, upload proof, and sign off. The AI simply ends the blank page stare.
Evidence upload and submissions
Make each behaviour evidence easy to verify by simply uploading photos, documents, and soon to be added videos.
Easy dashboards
See who is verified, who is pending, and who needs to resit instantly in one clear and easy to use overview.
Choose your questions
Choose from our bank of pre-written questions, decide how many to ask, or create your own questions within Behaviourally.
Provider and employer portals
Separate views for the people who manage apprentices and the people who answer to regulators.
2026 reforms, translated
What Skill England actually wants from you
Behaviours are no longer assessed by Awarding Bodies. Employers verify. Behaviourally supports you in acting fast to help you verify.
Employer verification
Behaviours must be verified by someone who has worked closely with the apprentice, has oversight of their work, and understands the standard (usually the line manager).
Gateway to completion
Verification must be complete before the apprenticeship certificate can be requested.
No grading impact
Behaviours do not affect pass, merit or distinction. But they do gate the certificate.
Skills England pro forma
An optional paper form exists. Behaviourally adds value by making it easier for the apprentice and employer to document the naturally occurring evidence.
