joined-up specialist support for apprentices
Pro-AT Group is an Access Support Partner, providing specialist assistive technology, assistive technology training and Non-Medical Help as part of the Access Support apprenticeship service.
Access Support brings together specialist organisations to provide training providers with a coordinated package of support through a single point of contact. Depending on an apprentice's individual needs, this can include screening and assessment, assistive technology, specialist training, study skills support and mentoring.
As part of the Partner Network, Pro-AT Group provides Pro-Study, Lernabl and Study Agent alongside specialist assistive technology training and NMH support delivered through STAT Northern.
Pro-study
Capture, organise and retrieve learning materials and workplace evidence
Apprentices gather information from many places: websites, PDFs, Word documents, textbooks, videos, images, online journals, training resources and workplace activities. Keeping track of it all can be difficult, particularly when working memory, organisation or cognitive overload is a barrier.
Pro-Study brings this information into one central, structured workspace. Apprentices can capture useful content as visual Research Tiles, organise it using colour-coded categories and tags, and filter their view to find what they need quickly. Each tile links back to its original source, with captured text highlighted, making information easier to relocate and check.
The Project Assist companion app extends this support into practical and workplace settings. Apprentices can capture photographs, notes, observations and evidence while carrying out hands-on tasks, workplace learning or off-site activities, then keep that material organised within the relevant project.
Lernabl
Reinforce, retain and apply knowledge in a way that works for the individual
An apprenticeship involves building and applying new knowledge over time, from technical terminology and workplace procedures to course content and preparation for end-point assessment. Apprentices may understand information when it is first introduced but find it difficult to retain, retrieve or use later.
Lernabl is a personalised assistive technology study platform that gives apprentices multiple ways to work with their own learning materials. Resources can be turned into Topic Cards and used across more than 11 study methods, including flashcards, fill-in-the-blanks and Cornell Notes.
Methods are organised around Focus Areas such as memory retention, comprehension and creative thinking. This helps apprentices choose a study approach that responds to the difficulty they are experiencing rather than relying on one generic method.
Lernabl also includes a personalised Study Planner, helping apprentices schedule learning around work commitments, training sessions and assessment deadlines. Mock Exams enable them to check their knowledge, identify gaps and build confidence through practice.
How Lernabl supports apprentices:
- Provides different study methods for different learning preferences and challenges.
- Helps reinforce technical knowledge, processes and course content.
- Supports memory, comprehension, focus and active recall.
- Breaks revision and knowledge-building into manageable activities.
- Helps apprentices plan study around work and training commitments.
- Builds confidence by allowing apprentices to practise and identify gaps before assessment.
STudy AGent
Personalised, step-by-step guidance at the point of need
Support needs do not only arise during a scheduled training, coaching or mentoring session. An apprentice may become stuck while using assistive technology, planning a task, interpreting an instruction or managing a period of overwhelm. Waiting for the next one-to-one session can interrupt momentum.
Study Agent is an on-demand support platform that provides clear, structured guidance tailored to the apprentice's needs, preferences and current task. Apprentices can ask a question or upload a screenshot for more context-specific help, then receive manageable steps that help them decide what to do next.
It can guide apprentices through assistive technology features, help them choose the right tool for a task, troubleshoot difficulties and put training strategies into practice. It can also support wider learning and workplace challenges such as planning, organisation, focus, task initiation, time management and understanding instructions.
The experience can adapt the structure, pace and complexity of its responses, with accessible options including audio support and predictable, easy-to-follow steps. Study Agent provides strategy-based guidance rather than completing an apprentice's work, helping protect academic integrity while building independence.
How Study Agent supports apprentices:
- Provides practical support between scheduled sessions.
- Breaks complex or overwhelming tasks into manageable steps.
- Helps apprentices apply assistive technology to real learning and workplace activities.
- Supports planning, organisation, focus, time management and task initiation.
- Adapts guidance to individual accessibility needs and preferences.
- Helps apprentices maintain momentum and become more confident working independently.
