ACE Portfolios vs MyProgress ePortfolio

ACE Portfolios is a web ePortfolio and assessment platform for NVQs, apprenticeships, and vocational qualifications. It is intended for training providers, colleges, and employers, and the maker says it was built by a working assessor and IQA. Assessors can review evidence beside assessment criteria, map evidence to criteria, and create reusable mapping templates for team use. A built-in recorder captures audio or video for professional discussions and observations, attaching recordings to candidate evidence. IQA sampling workflows and actions are included, along with read-only EQA access to claimed portfolios and EQA sessions. ACE lists unit structures for more than 130 qualifications from Highfield, ProQual, NOCN, ECITB, and City & Guilds, and says requested qualifications are added at no charge. Phone capture supports photos, video, and audio mapped to criteria. An optional employer portal shows selected progress in read-only form. Security features include MFA, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3, tenant isolation, and Cloudflare edge protection. Pricing is on request, with listed one-time charges.

MyProgress ePortfolio helps learners and educators collect, assess, and give feedback on evidence of achievements and competencies. Institutions can configure assessments, including workplace-based assessments, while learners gather evidence, reflect on practice, record practice hours, and track progress. Assessors can use speech-to-text for feedback and monitor associated students. Real-time dashboards show individual and cohort progress, and reporting can be customised, including for accreditation bodies. MyProgress is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its mobile app supports offline work and syncs completed forms when connectivity returns, but requires an institutional MyProgress account. The product page lists LMS, SSO, and API integrations. The vendor lists WCAG 2.2 and says it endeavours to conform to WCAG Level AA. It states that the service has 99.9% uptime and is designed for 24/7 operation. The product privacy policy describes security controls and data-processing roles. Pricing is on request; institutions are invited to book a demo. Learners needing support are directed to their institution’s administration team.
