Records Management Fundamentals
Records management determines whether an organisation can find what it needs, prove what it did and dispose of what it should not keep. This course covers the principles and practical systems that make that possible.
Electronic Document Management Systems
An electronic document system succeeds or fails on how it is configured and adopted, not on the software chosen. This course covers structure, metadata, workflow and the migration and adoption work that makes a system usable.
Archives and Long Term Preservation
Material of enduring value needs more than storage: it needs appraisal, description and active preservation. This course covers archival practice for both physical and digital holdings, including the formats and media that decay fastest.
