This is a common question, and it highlights the difference in focus between the systems. An LMS manages course delivery and may record completions within that system, but CVS focuses on field verification and cross-platform tracking. The value CVS adds is that it aggregates training records from all sources. If your company uses multiple training vendors or online courses, you likely have separate records in each system (or spreadsheets for some classes). CVS lets you bring those together, so a worker’s OSHA training from one system, their equipment certification from another, and their site orientation (perhaps done in-person) can all live on a single profile. Moreover, CVS gives you the on-site verification via QR codes – something typical LMS platforms don’t offer. This means even if training was taken in the LMS, the foreman on the jobsite can scan a badge or a hardhat and confirm that training instantly through CVS, without needing LMS access. Also, CVS excels at things like expiration reminders, external document storage, and quick compliance reporting, which many LMS tools either don’t handle or do in a limited way. Think of it this way: the LMS makes sure training happens, while CVS makes sure the record of that training is usable wherever and whenever you need it. For construction firms, real-time verification and a comprehensive view of credentials are a valuable layer of assurance on top of the LMS’s capabilities.
