Program Overview
About This Program
Effective records management is critical to accountability, service delivery, and institutional credibility. However, many records offices struggle with inconsistencies, errors, delays, and outdated processes that undermine performance.

The course introduces practical quality management frameworks, performance measurement techniques, and process improvement methods tailored to records and registry environments.
