Overview
Once you have set up your Integration with CENTURY, you can now choose CENTURY as an option for the provider of Functional Skills during the onboarding step.
Onboarding wizard
When enabled in the tenant, CENTURY will appear as an option for the provider of Functional Skills during the Onboarding step. This allows learners to complete initial assessments in English, Maths, and digital skills as part of their onboarding when Century is selected as the provider.
In the following image, you can see that CENTURY is listed as an option for the provider of Functional Skills Onboarding step:
Cohorts are created in CENTURY
When CENTURY is enabled in Tenant Settings, three specific cohorts are created in CENTURY for the current academic year, without duplicating cohorts if CENTURY is disabled and re-enabled later:
- Aptem English - Includes "English Smart Initial Assessment."
- Aptem Maths - Features "Maths Smart Initial Assessment."
- Aptem Digital Skills - Incorporates "Digital Skills Smart Initial Assessment."
This update ensures correct cohort creation, streamlining management and enhancing the organization within the educational process, supporting thorough and compliant onboarding and assessment of learners.
Learners are registered from the onboarding wizard FS step
A direct link will guide learners to the CENTURY login page where they should use their registered Aptem email and the 'forgotten password' feature to set up their password. New learners will automatically be registered with CENTURY if they don't already exist in the system. They'll also be added to the appropriate cohorts based on their selected initial assessments during the Onboarding Wizard Functional Skills step.
This process ensures that learner profiles are as complete as possible, streamlining their start in the program. Please note that this is only available in the console version of the onboarding wizard.
Progress in the onboarding wizard is dependent on the completion of the IAs in CENTURY
To ensure that the onboarding process is thoroughly completed, the completion of these initial assessments is now mandatory.
Specifically, the Functional Skills step will only be marked as complete if all CENTURY initial assessments are finished. If any assessments remain incomplete, learners will not be able to progress to the next step. This ensures that all necessary assessments are completed before moving forward, supporting a comprehensive and compliant onboarding experience. Please note that this is only available in the console version of the onboarding wizard.
Upcoming
In our forthcoming iteration we will automatically return the initial assessment results back into Aptem. Removing the need to complete this task manually. We also plan in a further iteration to add the option to include the CENTURY initial assessments in the learning plan.
