AI marking assistant for VET trainers

Marking is
not teaching.

Apollo reads each learner’s work against your marking guide and drafts the ticks, crosses and comments. You check them, change anything and sign off. Your first 5 assessments are free.

01 / Assessment marking

Apollo prepares. You decide.

Most marking time goes on looking things up and writing the same feedback again and again. Apollo does that part. You do the rest.

01

The batch goes in

Drop in the whole class at once: Word, Excel, PDF or scans. No retyping.

02

Read against your unit

Load your marking guide and sample answers. Apollo reads each answer against them.

03

A first pass is laid out

A draft tick or cross and a comment for each question.

04

Your assessor decides

They check it, change anything they disagree with, and sign. Apollo doesn’t keep learner work.

02 / Batch marking

The whole class, marked in one go.

Drop in everyone’s work together, in the formats they handed in. Each one is read against your marking guide.

−69%
less marking time per assessment, in one trainer’s timed batch of 24 (against her own estimate by hand)
187 hrs
hours saved per 1,000 assessments, worked out from that one batch

One trainer at a Queensland college took about 2 hours for 24 assessments, against her own estimate of 6.5 hours by hand. One trainer, one batch, one type of assessment. How she timed it.

03 / Integrity check

See which answers look unusually alike.

Apollo compares answers across the class, and against the sample answer, and shows you the few that look unusually alike. It doesn’t search the internet or past classes. It doesn’t decide anything about the learner.

04 / Assessment insights

See where learners keep getting stuck.

Apollo shows which tasks are hard and which questions trip learners up. It shows you where to look. Your trainers work out why.

05 / Unit Cross-Check

Find where your unit’s documents don’t match.

Apollo reads your unit’s documents side by side. If a task asks for something the marking guide never checks, it shows you where. You still do the validation.

“On average, I can now complete Knowledge Questions in around 5 minutes instead of 15, and Task 3 assessments in around 15 minutes instead of 40+min, including marking, providing feedback in Moodle and uploading the marked assessment.”

06 / Your data, your judgement

No learner work is stored. A named assessor signs off each assessment.

Apollo removes names and IDs automatically. Check the preview, because it can miss some (like handwriting). The work and page images, with names removed, and your marking guide go to our AI provider, Anthropic, outside Australia. Their terms say it isn’t used to train their AI by default. Apollo clears the work after sign-off. Apollo only drafts: the final decision is your assessor’s.
