For the inspector who's actually reading
Participation and development, finally evidenced.
Off-the-job training content for 16–24 year old apprentices that contributes to Participation & Development, Inclusion, Safeguarding and Leadership & Governance under the Ofsted EIF 2025. Delivered on our own platform with single sign-on — plug-and-play, no IT lift.
Chapter one · how we fit
Three things quality teams need at once.
Training that holds learner attention. Training that counts as off-the-job. Training that produces inspection evidence on demand.
Counts as OTJ
Time spent in Fledglings is structured to count as off-the-job training and is trackable inside the platform — straightforward to log, defensible at audit.
Our own platform
Fledglings is a complete learning platform in its own right — delivered with single sign-on so apprentices land in it directly. No packaging, no procurement-side conversation, no IT lift.
Data your team can use
Engagement and progress data that translates into the evidence your SAR and QIP already need to make. No manual reporting from your staff.
Chapter two · the grading scale
The EIF 2025 report card, stated exactly.
Five grades, in order. Fledglings doesn't produce a grade — it produces traceable evidence that supports the areas providers are graded on. Safeguarding is judged separately on a met / not met basis.

Chapter three · evidence transcript
Where we fit. Where we don't.
If a vendor claims they map to every Ofsted EIF area, they don't understand the toolkit. We contribute cleanly to four. We do not deliver the rest.
