ESFA
Bud drives compliance throughout training delivery
Bud is built with compliance in mind, with unique workflows that capture evidence throughout the training programme. Trainers and learners must enter all the information required before they can complete a stage, meaning you have the data needed to support your ESFA funding claim and guard against clawbacks.
Real time skills assesment
During enrolment, Bud dynamically generates the ILR in real-time, identifying and recording each learner’s start point before they begin. This provides the evidence you need to prove prior learning has been checked, the learning plan customised, correct price charged and course duration adapted based on a true measure of ability.
Additional needs flagged
Every learner identified as having additional needs is flagged to the trainer so they know to evidence all Additional Learning Support provided. What’s more, Bud automatically collects the learner’s digital signature to prove receipt of support, so you can be confident in every additional funding claim you submit.
Automatic ILR updates
Throughout the program duration Bud automatically records any ILR updates, reducing administrative time and error, and improving confidence in your funding claim. With your own centralised Evidence Pack you can see all your ESFA compliance evidence in one place, at any time, from any device.

Intent
Bud's skills assessment tool allows you to identify your learners’ start point at enrolment - providing you with evidence that prior learning has been thoroughly checked and the learning plan customised.
Implemention
With all resources stored in one place, and real time business intelligence reporting, both learner and trainer can access the information they need when they need it. Progress reports can be scheduled, off-the-job activities logged and struggling learners identified.
Impact
Bud helps you evidence the impact of your programme. From supporting engagement through features such as messaging and automatic reminders, to capturing feedback, automatically creating an audit trail, and evidencing naturally occurring teaching.
