The Roadshow will address this need.

Programme

The Roadshow programme comprises three modules:

Competency standards

The first module will cover the need for Records Management Competency Standards, the potential "win/win" situation for employer and employee where skills and experience are measurable against specified employment criteria.

Basic records management

The second module will cover basic records management concepts. It will be ideal for any records members or professionals who have received no formal training. This module is not a replacement for classical training but will be an overview of the basic recordkeeping principles a refresher for older professionals and an opportunity to develop newer staff.

Professional status upgrade

The final module will assist RMAA members raise their professional levels within the Association and industry by qualifying for higher membership status.
