Effortlessly bring staff into the EBR pathway

Create staff profiles and opt them into the experience-based route. Once added, their personalised development path begins - no delays or setup hurdles.

Milestones that map the journey

Clear pathways guide every step to Level 3

Each employee follows a structured pathway with key milestones. Managers can add custom "Check-in" milestones to capture ongoing development meetings and reflections.

Manual hour logging with smart triggers

Track supervised hours and unlock progress

Managers enter work hours manually by selecting a date range and adding total hours. As milestones are passed, new steps unlock automatically.

Assess against DfE Level 3 criteria

Rate employees on key areas to mark progress

Use the government's approved Level 3 criteria to assess staff with our simple tool. To complete EBR, employees must achieve "Met" in every category by the end of the path.

Let staff track their own journey

Staff see their pathway easily.
