What’s new on Aptitude Global

Major features shipped session by session. Most recent first.

Session 11

Ship-ready

AI qualification caching — assessments persist for 7 days, mastery-keyed so a new aptitude score invalidates automatically
HELOS proxy client — outbound notifications at every lifecycle moment, graceful degradation when HELOS isn't deployed
Employer portal v1 — anonymous candidate search by sector credential + aptitude, opt-in introduction requests with candidate consent
Mobile responsiveness — table overflow safety, 44px touch targets, visible focus ring, skip-to-main link
SEO upgrades — dynamic Open Graph image, metadata template across the site, JSON-LD Organization schema

Changelog page (this one)

Attorney guidance page — what to look for, what to ask, red flags, regulatory body links (AILA, ILPA, RCIC, MARA)

Dashboard credential-journey card with 5-stage progress dots and on-track indicator

Full cost transparency before commitment — itemized fee table with official source links, downloadable PDF
Transcript PDF upload with Anthropic-extracted academic record (raw PDF bytes never persisted)

Coordinator model: every portal handoff (WES, ECE, USCIS, IRCC, UK Home Office, AU Home Affairs) is user-initiated — we never submit on your behalf

Session 8

Search a topic not in the catalog → AI-generated course is queued + delivered
Admin review queue — every generated course requires admin approval before becoming public
Bulk-generate from content gaps + path-gap auto-fill so paths feel infinite

Parent-initiated child accounts with family dashboard oversight
