Why colleges choose PlumbMate

Everything your team needs
to support learners between lessons

PlumbMate fills the gap between taught sessions — giving learners a structured way to revise independently while you keep track of who's engaging and who needs support.

Tutor dashboard
See every learner's quiz scores, revision streaks and unit progress in real time. Spot who's struggling before the next session — not after the exam.
Knowledge heatmaps
A colour-coded view of each learner's topic strengths and weaknesses across all 9 units — with an AI-generated teaching plan tailored to your group's gaps.
Spaced retrieval built in
The Key Revision system automatically resurfaces wrong answers at the right time — based on proven spaced repetition principles — so knowledge sticks.
Group management
Create and manage learner groups, monitor activity across cohorts, and pause features during assessments — all from one simple dashboard.
Accessibility compliant
PlumbMate has passed a full WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit — meeting your college's obligations and making the platform usable by all learners.
Certificates & achievements
Learners earn digital certificates for each unit and course-wide badges — giving them recognition and motivation to keep revising.
AI-powered feedback
Short-answer questions are marked instantly by AI, with personalised feedback — giving learners exam-style practice without tutor marking time.
No app download needed
PlumbMate runs in any browser on phone, tablet or PC — no IT department involvement, no app store approvals, no installation issues for learners.
Simple, transparent pricing

PlumbMate was made available to our learners during a Moodle outage — and they kept using it voluntarily afterwards. That tells you everything about how engaging it is.

Quality assurance

Built with inspection
and accountability in mind

PlumbMate gives quality managers, IQAs and curriculum leads the evidence and oversight they need — not just a tool for learners.

Evidence of learner engagement
Every quiz attempt, revision session and login is timestamped and stored. Tutors can demonstrate learner engagement to inspectors and quality reviewers with real data — not self-reported logs.
Ofsted-ready progress records
The tutor dashboard provides a clear picture of individual and group progress — ideal for demonstrating the stretch and challenge of your curriculum intent and implementation during inspection.
Accessibility compliance
PlumbMate has completed a full WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit — helping your organisation meet its legal obligations under the Equality Act and supporting learners with additional needs.
Knowledge heatmap reporting
A colour-coded class heatmap shows tutor and quality managers exactly where knowledge gaps exist across the cohort — unit by unit and topic by topic. Use it in standardisation meetings and self-assessment reviews.
Supports self-assessment & SAR
Quantitative engagement data — quiz completion rates, average scores, revision activity — can be fed directly into your Self-Assessment Report as measurable evidence of digital curriculum delivery.
Secure data & GDPR-conscious
Learner data is stored securely on Firebase with UK-region servers, role-based access control, and no third-party data sharing. Tutors can only see learners within their own groups.
