The aXcelerate Supervisor App is available for any Host Employer Supervisors that have Learners attending a Work Placement at their organisation. Learners will have access to the aXcelerate Learner App which they will use to submit Logbook Entries containing details about the time they spend during their Placement. The Supervisor App will allow you to review their Logbook Entries and mark their attendance.
Tip: The functionality available in the Supervisor App at the moment is specifically for Work-based Learning. Other functionality will continue to be added to the app.
Note: If you do not know what your aXcelerate login details are, please contact the training provider organising the Work Placements.

Use the Supervisor App Offline
After you have initially logged into the Supervisor App, if you lose internet connection you will still be able to access the information at the time you went offline. You will also still be able to review Logbook Entries, provide feedback, and mark attendance while offline.
This information will be stored in the app and then submitted once you get an internet connection. This allows you to use the App to manage Learners undertaking Work-based Learning that you are supervising while in remove areas that don't have internet access.
