Over the past six weeks, the App‑rentice platform has undergone a major transformation, with hundreds of improvements spanning new features, UI/UX upgrades, performance enhancements, bug fixes, and infrastructure updates. This period represents one of the most productive development sprints in the project’s history, delivering significant value to assessor/tutors, students, and employers.
