As the lead instructor for the online RIM certificate
offered by Chippewa Valley Technical College, an
accredited two-year institution, I appreciate the
support of the list in announcing the spring semester
start of the online RIM certificate courses.
Since we revised the courses in August 2005,
over 70 RIM professionals from the United States
and Canada have registered for the classes. Several
of those persons have heard about the certificate
from reading about it here.
Registration is open through January 19 for all five of
the courses in the 15-credit online RIM certificate.
Tuition for each 3-credit course is approximately $310.
Book fees are roughly $140. Classes run from January 15
through May 10, 2007.
The full certificate is comprised of five 3-credit courses
and is delivered completely over the Internet. Certificate
topics include, but aren't limited to, an overview of
records management program components; records
inventory, retention, vital records, and disaster recovery
for both paper and electronic records; imaging issues; the
relationship between records management and other
professional areas like IT; and new and emerging
developments in the records management profession.
Many students enroll in certificate classes because they're
new to the RIM field and want to learn more about records
management; others enroll because they want to advance in
their current records management position. Some records
professionals use the material in the certificate courses
as a study base for the CRM exam.
Certificate students have commented: "I cannot believe how
much I have learned that has made a difference in my
day-to-day experiences." and "It was a lot of work but well
worth every hour spent. I can use all of the information that
I've learned for my job." and "I feel I have learned so much!
My supervisor enjoys it when I share my discoveries with her!"
Certificate details and registration information is available
at http://www.cvtc.edu/programs/rim.htm. The five classes in the
certificate will again be available for the August 2007 semester.
