Shortcomings
BlueVolt is not ideal for companies whose approach to training is only instructor-led/classroom-based training. BlueVolt can track course participation and completion with ILT, but lacks the features for reliance on that single approach.
Organizations that do not approach training through a blended learning or digital approach should look into other solutions for tracking training.
