There is a growing need for qualified records managers in the workplace, as businesses realise
they need to be able to create and find records, and also need to manage them appropriately
to preserve the evidence of what they have done. Records are created as part of day to
day business, and they come in a variety of formats from paper-based to electronic. Regardless
of where they come from, all records are unique and dependent on the business context to give
them meaning, so its vital that they are managed well, to ensure business accountability, and
to help staff and stakeholders save and access the information within them easily. The Diploma
in Records and Information Management is offered by distance learning at the Open Polytechnic
and provides you with the skills and knowledge to work with records and information created
within the workplace, and to manage these records appropriately for as long as they
are needed. The diploma is accredited by NZQA and is also formally recognised and accredited
by the professional association for Records and Information managers in Australasia. Graduates
of the diploma will be proficient in using records management tools, and confident in
processes surrounding classification, metadata, disposal, digitisation, access and security
of records. The Diploma is designed to cater not only for those who are interested in working
in records and information management in the future, but also professionals already working
in the industry. If you are interested in a career where you work with unique, unpublished
records and help businesses to document and retrieve their information in practical and
accountable ways, gaining the Diploma in Records and Information Management is a great way
to help you take the next step in your career. Please visit the Open Polytechnic website
