Organise research, understand training resources and learn more independently on your apprenticeship

Pro-Study for Apprentices

Pro-Study helps apprentices manage the information they encounter throughout their apprenticeship. From workplace policies and technical manuals to training materials, coursework and assessment guidance, Pro-Study provides practical tools that make reading, researching, planning and writing more manageable.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by large amounts of information, apprentices can quickly organise key points, make connections between ideas and build their understanding in ways that suit how they learn.

WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

Pro-Study supports apprentices to work more independently by reducing the barriers created by information overload, reading fatigue and organisation difficulties.

Whether learning new workplace procedures, completing assignments or preparing for End-Point Assessment (EPA), apprentices can access tools that help them stay organised and focused throughout their apprenticeship.

SUPPORT SHAPED AROUND THE INDIVIDUAL

Who can Pro-Study Support?

Pro-Study is designed for disabled and neurodivergent apprentices who benefit from additional support when processing information, organising ideas and completing written work.

It may be particularly useful for apprentices with:

  • - Specific Learning Differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia/DCD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia or Auditory Processing Disorder

  • - ADHD, ADD or autism

  • - Mental health conditions, including anxiety or depression, which can affect concentration, motivation and confidence

  • - Visual or hearing impairments

  • - Physical, chronic or fluctuating health conditions that affect energy, comfort, concentration or study routines

Every apprentice learns differently. Pro-Study focuses on removing barriers to learning by providing practical tools that adapt to individual ways of working rather than a specific diagnosis.

Pro-Study can support apprentices experiencing difficulties with:

✓ Reading lengthy workplace documents

✓ Understanding complex technical information

✓ Organising research and training materials

✓ Planning written assignments and reports

✓ Remembering key information

✓ Managing information from multiple sources

✓ Breaking large tasks into manageable sections

✓ Creating structured notes

✓ Preparing for assignments and assessments

Practical support throughout your apprenticeship

Apprentices often receive information from multiple sources including training providers, employers, online learning platforms and workplace documentation.

Pro-Study helps organise everything into one place, making it easier to revisit important information whenever it is needed.

Planning assignments

Managing workplace information

Writing assignments can feel overwhelming when ideas are scattered across different documents.

Pro-Study helps apprentices organise research, create writing plans and develop a clear structure before they begin writing, making coursework more manageable.

Research and information gathering

Whether researching legislation, industry guidance or technical subjects, apprentices can collect information from websites, PDFs and documents into a structured workspace.

Built-in annotation tools help highlight important sections, add notes and organise research by topic.

Preparing for End-Point Assessment (EPA)

Whether preparing evidence for a portfolio, revising technical knowledge or organising examples for a professional discussion, Pro-Study helps apprentices collect, organise and review information efficiently throughout their apprenticeship.

Support shaped around a real-world learning challenge

APPRENTICE PROFILE - AMARA

Disability / condition: Dyslexia 

Course: Business Administrator 

Keeping workplace and study information organised

Amara is confident in her day-to-day administrative work but finds it difficult to keep track of the large amount of information she needs to access as part of her apprenticeship. Her training involves a mixture of online learning, workplace training, assessment resources, policies and procedures. She regularly finds herself searching through emails, browser bookmarks and different folders to locate information she has previously been given.

Amara particularly struggles to remember:

Where specific training resources are stored

Which websites contain useful information for her apprenticeship

Which information is relevant to particular units or assignments

The difference between resources she needs for her job and for her studies

Where she previously found useful guidance or examples

The Solution: Pro-Study

Pro-Study gives Amara one structured place to collect, organise and retrieve training resources, websites and documents. Arranging information by topic or unit makes it easier to revisit, plan written work and prepare for assessment
