Terms of Use

TERMS OF USE

These Terms of Use apply to your use of: (1) our SkillsPass online platform including all enhancements, versions, and modifications to the foregoing (“SkillsPass”); (2) our website, located at https://bluedropism.com (the “Website”); and (3) the courses and training materials that we offer or otherwise make available to you (“Courses”); and (4) the related services, apps, Courses and communications provided through SkillsPass or our Website (the “Services”).

SkillsPass is a software as a service solution that is hosted on Bluedrop ISM’s cloud platform. Key users of SkillsPass include Trainers, Learners and Sponsors. “Trainers” are organizations that perform training and grant certifications in SkillsPass; “Learners” are individuals who receive training from Trainers and have their certification records maintained in SkillsPass; and “Sponsors” are organizations that are associated with an individual Learner for the purposes of accessing the Learner’s certifications in SkillsPass. Sponsors often send employees (Learners) to training courses with Trainers which result in earned certifications. These certifications are then available to the Learner, the Sponsor and in some cases other organizations who are designated as Sponsors within SkillsPass.

In these Terms of Use, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Bluedrop ISM Limited (Bluedrop).

These Terms of Use contain important information that you agree to by using the Services, including:

  • Our ownership of the Services, including SkillsPass
  • Your ownership of User Generated Content
  • The extent or limit of our liability related to your use of the Services
  • How these Terms of Use can be terminated

For your ease of reference, we have separated these Terms of Use into two parts – Part I is a summary of our terms that is intended to assist Users in understanding in general terms what Users are permitted to do, what Users cannot do, and what rights Bluedrop has in the Services. Part II contains more specifics and technical details about the rights, obligations, and conditions you agree to by using the Services.
From time to time we may change our Terms of Use. We will notify you of any material changes to our Terms of Use by posting an updated copy on our website. Please check our website periodically for updates.

Our privacy policy forms an essential part of these Terms of Use and it is important that you read it. By accepting these Terms of Use you also accept and consent to our privacy policy.

PART I – SUMMARY

The summary is provided as a reference, only, and Users should still read these Terms of Use in full (including Part II which follows) to understand the rights, obligations and conditions you agree to by using the Services.

If the local laws that apply in the place you reside do not allow for a full limitation of liability, then Bluedrop’s liability will be limited to either the amount you paid for the Services, or $100, whichever is lower.

We reserve the right to discontinue – temporarily or permanently – the Services (or any part thereof) without notice. If the Services are discontinued, we have no responsibility to continue to store or keep any information you have posted via the Services.

REIMAGINE

A seamless online training ecosystem connection for all stakeholders or partners…

  • Including governments, regulators, industry associations, unions, career centers, training providers, employers and more.
  • These cross-organizational and complex training situations would overwhelm an LMS. SkillsPass fixes that, with a robust suite of NexGen features and functionality including:
    • ONLINE TRAINING HUB– our embedded MarketPlusTM online training marketplace- allowing our clients to go beyond their own training offerings and consolidate external training sources, whether classroom, online, or virtual. 
    • UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE– Industry open architecture solution design that enables third party solution integration and the bringing together of key partners/systems and eliminating the siloed, restrictive nature of the traditional LMS.
    • TRAINING PARTNER INTEGRATION– Training partner enablement through unique storefronts to accept bookings, track attendance, and issue certificates working in concert with each client’s marketplace. APIs are also available for Training Partners with their own software.
    • DIGITAL WORKER PASSPORT– The industry-first SkillsPass Worker Passport, allowing end-users to access and share their validated credentials securely with employers and regulators (via QR code).
    • MULTI-LEVEL REPORTING– Robust reporting and insights at an employer and industry (client) level. Clients can provide a business account for each employer partner to allow them to track valid certificates, assign training, and see the final results and expiry notifications. The platform also generates valuable client insights about training completion at certificate, demographic, partner, industry, and regional levels.

DELIVER

Providing end-to-end training delivery and credential management for all training formats…

  • This can include virtual, online, in-person, and blended training. Core capabilities include:
    • Manage learning paths that can include combination of online, virtual and blended offerings
    • Manage prerequisite requirements 
    • Track microcredentials that can be combined to form a master credential
    • Allow clients to build their own online courses and assessments 
    • Provide bookmarking so that learners can complete training in multiple sessions 
  • We have a globally recognized team of Learning Design and Production experts that work with industry SMEs to produce online and blended courseware and microcredentials.  They can take a project from concept to finished product within a few weeks. 
  • Over the years we have also amassed a large library of specialized courseware to address stubborn or urgent skills gaps with almost immediate time-to-launch and value.

    • Our optional managed services range from supporting client adoption efforts to full outsourcing of the rollout and operation of training initiatives. For some of our clients, we actually operate their entire training solution, including:
