# Attendance that takes itself, so training starts on time

> Spark-VT takes attendance by face recognition at the start of each session, so instructors spend the time training and records are accurate and complete.

Spark-VT · Feature

Calling a register eats the first minutes of every session, and paper lists get lost. Spark-VT takes attendance by face recognition, so the session starts on time and the record is there when you need it.

## How it helps

- **No roll call.** Attendance is taken as learners arrive.
- **Accurate records.** One record per learner per session, kept with the rest of their training.
- **Engagement in view.** Program leaders see attendance and engagement trends across cohorts.

## Privacy

Face recognition handles personal data, so tell learners how it's used and follow your local rules. We'll walk your team through how attendance data is handled before you switch it on.
