Apprenticeship Logbook
You can’t develop what you can’t see.
Real-time visibility of your apprentices' skills, progress and on-the-job learning — across every site, every supervisor, every provider. The logbook built for employers, not training providers.
The system was built for the training provider. Not for you.
Evidence lives in folders, emails and WhatsApp
Supervisors are chasing apprentices. Providers are chasing supervisors. Nobody has a complete picture — and you, the employer, have the least visibility of anyone in the system.
You find out there’s a problem at month nine
By the time non-completion looks likely, the Levy spend is already sunk, the supervisor’s time is gone, and the apprentice is disengaged.
You fund it, supervise it, deliver it — but can’t see it
Today’s logbook was designed for the training provider’s workflow.
What yfor gives employers that no logbook ever did.
The first apprenticeship logbook built employer-side.
Visibility — in real time, across every site
See every apprentice’s evidence as it’s logged. Know who is on track, who is falling behind, and what action is needed.
Control — your supervisor signs off on site, the same day
Evidence is captured the moment the work happens, signed off by the supervisor on their phone in 60 seconds.
Recognition — see the value in your apprentices as they grow
Recognise competence as it develops, reward progress with verified badges, and move people faster from new starter to valued team member.
Retention — apprentices who can see their progress complete
When workers can evidence what they know and see where their skills are taking them, they have a reason to stay.
The logbook that actually gets used on site.
On-site evidence capture. Same-day sign-off. One central view — reducing multiple provider logins and making it clear who is progressing and who needs support.
Apprentice logs evidence on site
Photo, voice note or task entry from their phone — in 60 seconds, as the work happens.
Supervisor signs off the same day
Your supervisor reviews and approves from their phone — same day, same site.
One dashboard — every provider, every site
Where your training provider grants access, yfor pulls their updates into a single employer view. Providers can also update yfor directly.
One view. Every apprentice. Live.
Full apprentice visibility
Track every apprentice across every site. Where provider shares access, their updates pull into dashboard. No multiple e-portfolio logins.
See who needs support before it’s too late
See who is falling behind at month three, not month nine.
Four verified levels — I to IV
Earned through real evidenced work.
Turn on-site experience into recognised value
Every day on site is a learning opportunity. Formally recognise what apprentices are building.
Watch skills develop in real time
See progression from day one. No surprises at review. No guesswork at EPA.
Give workers a reason to stay
Retention is a pathway problem before it is a pay problem.
Take control of your apprenticeships and align on-the-job training to off-the-job learning.
Most employers fund an apprenticeship and hand development over to the training provider. yfor gives you the tools to run your own academy — structured, visible and tied to what your apprentices are doing on site every day.
- • Recognise and reward skills as they develop — not just at endpoint assessment
- • Move apprentices faster from new starter to valued, productive team member
- • Give supervisors a structured framework for mentoring
- • Build an apprenticeship programme your business is proud of
Learning fundamentals. Building awareness of safe, competent practice on site.
Applying skills under supervision. Demonstrating consistent, competent work.
Working independently. Taking ownership of quality on site.
Leading and mentoring others. Setting the standard for the next generation.
Questions employers ask.
Do my supervisors need training to use yfor?
No. Supervisors sign off from their phone — same workflow as reading a message. No login portal, no training course, no change to how they work on site.
Do we need to change our training provider?
No. yfor sits alongside whichever provider you already use. Where they grant access, we pull their updates into your employer dashboard. They can also update yfor directly.
What happens to apprentice records if they move employer?
The apprentice owns their skills record — it’s portable and travels with them. Your records remain fully accessible to you.
How does yfor help me get more from my Levy spend?
By making on-the-job learning visible in real time, you can recognise and reward progress as it happens. Apprentices who can see their own development complete at higher rates.
How quickly can we be up and running?
Your first apprentices can be logging evidence the same week. We handle onboarding and provider connection. The 10-minute walkthrough covers everything you need.
