Education

Education activities in the Vancouver Chapter consist of keeping members informed of educational opportunities in records management and in turn, providing assistance and advice to educational organizations who operate and plan to operate educational programs in records management. Our monthly events provide education to RIM professionals on various topics.

Regional Course Offerings

The Chapter is presently supporting the night courses in records management held at the downtown campus of Vancouver Community College, as well as the continuing education courses offered by the Vancouver School Board.

Vancouver Community College - City Centre Campus

There are three courses on records management topics which form part of the Certificate in Office Administration with Records Management specialization at Vancouver Community College:

• Records Management 1 – Introduction to Records Management, September

• Records Management 2 – Advanced Topics in Records Management, January

• Records Management 3 – Specialized Functions in Records Management, April

The introductory course operates in the fall semester, Level 2 in the winter session and Level 3 is offered in the spring. While many students take only the records management courses, other dedicated people complete all the courses required to their Office Administration Certificate with a specialization in Records Management from the College.

Levels 1, 2 and 3 taught by Andrew Geider and various members of the ARMA Vancouver Chapter providing guest lectures and tours.

Classes take place at City Centre Campus, 250 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC.
