Apprenticeships (England)

Three assistants, three audiences

Apprenticeships involve three people who each need different help. comxbot has a ready-to-use assistant for each.

Enquiries & Recruitment triages prospective apprentices and employers on the first message, answers the common questions and captures the lead fast, because responding first is the best-evidenced way to win an employer.

Apprentice Coach is learner-facing: it helps an apprentice log off-the-job training, understand their KSBs and training plan in plain English, and practise for end-point assessment, without doing their assessed work for them.

Employer Apprenticeship Helper explains how taking on an apprentice works and roughly what it costs, so a small employer isn't put off by the paperwork.

Built for rules that keep changing

Apprenticeship funding and policy in England change often, and recent reforms have moved a lot at once. So the bots are designed never to state volatile funding figures or rules as fixed fact.

Instead they give a clear plain-English overview, date-stamp it, point the person to the relevant gov.uk page, and route anything specific or high-stakes to a member of your team. That keeps a provider safe from giving out a figure that's gone out of date.

Setting them up

Each one is a turnkey template: fill in a few details and it's live, with starter gov.uk knowledge sources created for you. Add your own provider-specific content (your standards, your process, your contacts) and the assistant answers from that first.

There's an apprenticeship use-case page on the marketing site that shows an example conversation, and the pricing page lists the three bots.
