This introductory level course is designed for those who are new to information and records management in any sector, who want to get to grips with information management best practice, or those who want to understand more about the 'why' of information management and what it involves.

The course explores all the basics of information and records management across both the physical, and digital environments. It also covers the role information and records professionals play in their organisation, and how good information management contributes to their organisation's success.

The course is divided into seven modules of 90 minutes each. Each module is delivered online with its own workbook which is sent out to participants beforehand. There is also a small amount of homework to be done between modules to support learning.

The course covers the following:

  • Session 1 (12 August 2024) - course overview, defining IM and record-keeping
  • Session 2 (14 August 2024) - legislation and standards
  • Session 3 (16 August 2024) - storage and handling, disaster recovery and business continuity planning

  • You will need a microphone and webcam/video as interaction with others on the course is necessary and strongly encouraged.
  • You will need a quiet space so there are no distractions for the participants.
