Fits existing careers support
Use it before, during or after a guidance session.
The checker is a preparation aid, not a replacement for a qualified careers adviser or an organisation's own review process.
CV workshops
Use the seven checklist areas to structure a group activity around evidence, transferable skills and tailoring.
One-to-one guidance
Discuss the result with the learner, check the context and help them strengthen genuine examples.
Privacy and honesty
Clear limits are part of the product.
Learners should understand what the checker does, what it does not do and how their information is handled.
It uses transparent rules and does not send the submitted CV to an AI provider.
The submitted text is used to produce the on-screen result. Learners should still remove unnecessary sensitive information.
It measures whether useful CV elements were detected and cannot guarantee an interview, apprenticeship or job.
The checker asks learners to clarify real education, responsibilities, projects and experience rather than manufacture achievements.
Straightforward access
The checker is free. Wider tools are optional.
Learners can use the apprenticeship preparation checker without payment or an account. Career Coach AI also has a free account tier and an optional individual Pro plan at £9.99 per month. Sharing the checker does not create a partnership or financial commitment for your organisation.
