Electronic Records Management (ERM) Training Program

Course Descriptions

The Electronic Records Management (ERM) Training Program consists of the following tracks:

  • ERM Practitioner (online or classroom training available)
    Covers concepts and technologies for ERM while also incorporating the main elements from the ERM Strategy track. The Practitioner classroom sessions are always the first two days of the four-day master class.
  • ERM Specialist (online or classroom training available)
    Covers global best practices for implementing ERM, building upon the topics covered in the Practitioner track. Students who have earned the Practitioner designation may either take the online ERM Specialist course to earn the Specialist designation, or, register for the last two days of a four-day Master class as a Master Prep student (these students will achieve the Master designation after passing an exam and case study assignment).
  • ERM Master
    • Classroom Course
      Provides a thorough understanding of ERM with the main elements from all of the above, in addition to case study exercises. No prior participation in other tracks is required to enroll.
    • Virtual Course
      This virtual ERM Master class allows students the opportunity to attend the master class and to meaningfully engage with peers and the instructor, while saving time, and lowered costs compared to the classroom course.
    • Preparation Workshop
      Allows individuals who have already completed the Practioner and Specialist Certificate Programs to dicuss, share, and learn global best practices for ERM.

You can either start directly with the Master Clasroom Course or first take Practitioner and Specialist online or classroom courses, before taking a Master Preparation Workshop.
