Our Mission
AiVII is dedicated to empowering the apprenticeship and education sectors through cutting-edge data analytics and visualisation platform. Our mission is to redefine the use of data in education by providing insightful, user-friendly tools that drive innovation and improvement.
Our Story
AiVII was born from a frustration shared by too many education leaders: “We’ve got the data, but we can’t use it properly.”
As former practitioners, auditors, funding specialists, and senior leaders in the apprenticeship and education space, we’ve lived the reality of disconnected systems, incomplete reporting, and endless spreadsheets. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built it.
AiVII brings together deep sector knowledge with modern data infrastructure — designed from the ground up to support the unique needs of apprenticeship training providers, further education, and beyond. It’s not just a platform; it’s a partner in quality, funding assurance, and learner outcomes.
Today, AiVII helps providers unlock the full value of their data — securely, intelligently, and with complete confidence.
And we’re only just getting started.
