Aptem shows two kinds of progress. Learning plan progress counts components. Criteria progress counts the criteria of a standard or qualification that have accepted evidence. Each has an actual and an expected figure. This article explains how they're worked out, and the settings that stop progress counting.
Learning plan progress
Learning plan progress compares the components completed with the components due by today.
Actual is the number of components completed.
Expected is the number of components whose Complete by date has passed.
For example, 55 actual out of 69 expected means the learner has completed 55 components, and 69 were due by today.
Because expected progress follows due dates, it doesn't reach 100% until every due date has passed, even if the learner has already completed every component. It shows what should be done by now, not what the learner has done.
Criteria progress
Criteria progress shows how much of a standard or qualification is evidenced. To see it, select the standard or qualification from the dropdown at the top of the learning plan. See Overview (Learning Plan).
For evidence to count towards criteria progress:
the component must have Require evidence ticked
the evidence must be accepted against criteria mapped to the component
the criteria's weighting in the programme's learning plan must be above 0.
A section of a standard or qualification only reaches 100% once all the components mapped to it are complete.
Expected criteria progress uses the Complete by dates of the mapped components. If a mapped component has no Complete by date, expected progress can show lower than actual progress. Make sure every mapped component has a Complete by date.
The progress card on the dashboard
The progress card uses criteria progress, so it only counts evidence on components with Require evidence ticked. For how the card's Actual, Expected and MinExpected figures work, see Interpreting the Progress card measurements.
If progress isn't counting
What you see |
Check |
|---|---|
A component is complete with accepted evidence, but progress hasn't gone up |
Require evidence is ticked on the component |
Criteria percentages differ between the learning plan and the Evidence tab |
Require evidence is ticked on every completed component |
Mapped, accepted evidence on a Require evidence component doesn't add to progress |
The criteria's weighting in the programme's learning plan isn't 0 |
Expected criteria progress is lower than actual |
Every mapped component has a Complete by date |
A learner's learning plan is complete, but expected progress isn't 100% |
Nothing is wrong: expected progress reaches 100% when the last due date passes |
