ZUL WALKER MOHAMMAD AL-KABI explains the functions and success of Exemplar Systems to its students and apprentices across Australia.This is a sponsored post.

At the most basic level, Exemplar Systems offers secure online educational learning and compliance assurance services to education providers, primarily in the vocational training field, says Zul Waker Mohammad Al-Kabir, chief technology officer and senior IT director.

“Students use the system to access their learning materials and track their performance,” says Zul.

“If you’re an apprentice, your performance is assessed on how you are performing academically as well as your on the job experience.

“The system allows students who are on site doing their work to actually capture their activities.”

Zul says one of the reasons the system has become popular is that it offers a simple way for students or apprentices to capture their activities.

He says this then works as a means of compliance assurance because supervisors and teachers are able to track student progress.

The Canberra-based company has been running since 2017 and now has more than 40,000 students using its system, particularly in Victoria and Queensland. There are also more than 180 registered training organisations and universities using the system, and 17,000 employers.

Zul says his team is continuing to build various tools within the online ecosystem in the hopes that even more efficiency can be achieved between students, teachers and supervisors. They are using artificial intelligence (AI) to build these tools.

“At the moment in the AI space, there are two groups… one is the pessimists, the other one is the optimists… I think I belong to the optimist one, I can see a tremendous amount of value by having AI,” says Zul.

“We are probably one of the only companies who have been actively working in developing AI based systems in Canberra.”

Zul says that through their recently developed Exemplar exAi model, combined with a range of other value-added services, the company hopes to set the foundations for identifying students at risk of discontinuing their course. Low course completion rate is a complex problem that has a negative impact on the economy” he says.

“Our vision is to accelerate the career growth of students using AI – assisting a student to decide on a suitable course, complete their course on time, and find a matching job with a suitable employer are all part of this vision.

“For example, a student would be able to join a group to learn new things or follow an influencer for motivation on how to look after their wellbeing while studying.

“In the future, we plan to expand our services to allow high school graduates, apprentices, uni students, education professionals and employers to connect and collaborate with each other, similar to LinkedIn but primarily for young students.

“A network of students and professionals connecting and collaborating will be the key enabler of the vision. It’s all about helping the students.”
