Our customers
Our customers include FE Colleges, schools and other course providers.
Make sense of your learner data
Colleges hold large amounts of data in the MIS, funding returns, attendance systems, surveys and spreadsheets. Reporting often means exports, copy and paste, and reports that are out of date when they arrive. Sheaf Digital can help you join up this data, so managers see the same up-to-date numbers.
Learner and curriculum dashboards
- Enrolments against allocations and targets;
- Attendance and retention by course, curriculum area and learner group;
- Achievement rates, including English and maths;
- Views for senior leaders, curriculum managers and governors.
MIS and data migration
- Connect to your MIS, for example Tribal EBS;
- Add ILR, finance, HR and learner survey data;
- Automatic refresh, so there is no copy and paste;
- Clear data models that your team can maintain.
SSRS to Power BI transition
- Review your current SSRS reports and decide what to keep;
- Plan the move in stages, with clear priorities;
- Rebuild key reports in Power BI or as paginated reports;
- Train your team at each stage, so they own the new reports.
Power BI training for college staff
Build Power BI skills in your own team. Education themed courses for complete beginners and intermediate users.
- Beginner, intermediate and DAX courses;
- Courses for MIS teams, business support and curriculum managers;
