Learner experience · walkthrough
A scrollable walkthrough of every screen in the Pathways learner dashboard, in the sidebar order a learner works through them. One sample learner throughout.
Why it matters
The learner lands on a This week panel that says where they are in the four weeks, what this week is for, and what is still outstanding on the sign-off checklist. Every date comes from their cohort. Underneath it, progression is grounded in published Skills England occupational maps and live UK vacancy data, and roadmaps are withheld for roles outside coverage rather than guessed.
Your roadmap · Level 3 Business Administration
Progression is built from published Skills England occupational maps. Salary figures come from live UK vacancy data, never invented.
This week
This week: applying, tailoring and preparing for interviews.

The gap to close
No named project methodology and no documented risk or issue handling. Both are asked for in most live adverts for the target roles above.
Where a learner's target roles sit outside the supported occupational maps, the roadmap is withheld rather than guessed, and Job matches becomes their landing screen.
Why it matters
Learners work through realistic situations from the template library, or ones written around your own course material. Scoring is developmental with unlimited retries, and the latest attempt flows into the evidence portfolio automatically, so nobody on your team has to author or mark anything.
Work simulations
Each simulation gives a realistic situation and asks the learner to write how they would handle it. Feedback is written against five criteria shown before they start. Retries are unlimited, and the latest attempt is the one that counts as evidence.
A supplier tells you the parts will be two weeks late, the day before your team needs them.
What is looked at
A customer emails your manager after a second missed callback. You have to reply.

Your feedback · attempt 2
78 out of 100
Developmental only. There is no pass or fail, and learners are never ranked against each other.
Understanding the situation
4 of 5You spotted that the delivery date, not the supplier relationship, was the real risk.
Judgement and priorities
4 of 5Escalating before the team lost a day was the right call.
Communication
3 of 5The email is clear, but the ask at the end could be one sentence and a date.
Why it matters
Simulation attempts and signed off coursework build one documented evidence trail per learner, ready for funder reporting and for sharing with employers.
Evidence portfolio
Each verified item has been signed off by an assessor. Self completed items count too, but employers weight verified evidence highest.

Agenda, minutes and action log for the June supplier review.
Live log with owner, likelihood and mitigation for each entry.
Built in Excel, used by the team for weekly reporting.
Mapped the current process and proposed three changes, two adopted.
Wrote the escalation note and tracked it to resolution.
Why it matters
Milestone coursework still runs alongside the simulations, signed off by your assessor. This is where provider verification enters the record. Most providers set none, so this appears in the learner menu only when the pathway actually has course tasks on it.
Course tasks
Course tasks sit alongside work simulations. Milestone tasks are signed off by an assessor. Optional ones are self completed and go straight into the evidence portfolio.
Chair a 30 minute update, circulate actions within 24 hours. Assessor signed off 4 June.
Submitted 11 June. With your assessor for verification.
Assessor feedback: add the mitigation you agreed for the supplier delay, then resubmit.
Self completed. Goes straight into your evidence portfolio.
Why it matters
Verified evidence is reframed into CV bullets, a STAR answer and a course explanation, so learners can talk about what they actually did.
CV & interview
Verified evidence and the roadmap are reframed into CV bullets, a STAR interview answer, and a short way to explain the course.

Situation. A supplier missed a delivery date during the June review. Task. I owned the issue log and had to keep the workstream on track. Action. I logged the issue with an owner and mitigation, brought it to the update meeting, and agreed a revised date in writing. Result. The workstream finished two days late rather than two weeks, and the log is now used across the team.
Explaining your course
I completed a Level 3 Business Administration programme with Northgate Skills Academy, working towards project support. Alongside it I built a portfolio of assessor verified work covering stakeholder updates, risk and issue logging, and process improvement.
Why it matters
Live UK roles scored against the learner's evidence, with named gaps. Nothing is invented, and salary figures come from the live feed.

Why it matters
A tracked board from interest to offer, with proof of application uploaded and verified by you. This is the data behind your capture and outcome rates.
My applications
Cards move between columns as the learner progresses. Moving past Applied requires proof the provider has verified, which is what makes outcome reporting defensible.

Why it matters
A shareable profile the learner consents to, backed by verified evidence rather than claims. Consent can be withdrawn and links expire.
Employer profile
Nothing is shared until the learner gives consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and the share link expires.

At the end of the four weeks every learner is offered a career pack they keep: roadmap, verified evidence, CV bullets, interview answers and application history, with the week 4 and week 12 check in dates set out so nothing arrives as a surprise.
My career pack
At the end of the four weeks every learner is offered a career pack: the roadmap, the verified evidence, the CV bullets, the interview answers and the application history, exported as a PDF and a data file they own.
What is inside
Exported as a PDF to send and a data file you can reuse elsewhere.
