Hello all,

Just wanted to respond to Steve's note about the difference between 
certificate and certification - I agree absolutely and I apologize for not 
being clear. When I wrote (typed) certificate/certification I actually was 
thinking of the CRM designation vs the certificates one can obtain from 
various institutions. Sloppy punctuation use!

In response to Emma - I have taken several courses at University of 
Toronto's PLC program. I didn't take all of the RM courses but I did take 
"Records Management Software" which I found useful and informative.

My coworker who was hired on to support me when I first started here began 
in her position knowing absolutely nothing about RM but has since taken 
both the Fundamentals as well as the RM Practice course from the U of T 
PLC program. She learned a lot from those two courses and has gone from 
simply filling more of an administrative role to being my equal in the 
job.

Even better, I was just looking at the PLC website (
http://www.plc.fis.utoronto.ca/) and they are now offering the RM Practice 
course on-line. Before you could take the fundamentals on-line but not the 
second.

As on-line courses go the instructors are excellent and there is quite a 
lot of interaction between students using several different means of 
communications.

Good luck in your studies Emma!

regards,
Kirsten

"Certificate" and "certification" are two very different things.

Hello all,

Is there such as thing as a university/college granting a degree vs. a
certificate for records management?

I only know of certificate/certification programs for records management
as opposed to degree granting institutions. The PLC program at University
