Esther Josias
THE NUTS & BOLTS OF RECORDS MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE
StayEasy Southern Sun – Pretoria
13-14 October 2010
Based on Unit Standard 242866: Identify, operate and maintain the records management system in a public sector.
This short course was approved by the North West University Institutional Academic Standards on 26 April 2006.
Who should attend?
Records managers who are new in the position, filing/registry staff, administrative staff, secretaries, office professionals, managers who need to control their records and anyone who wants to learn about records management.
Presenter: Ms Amanda van der Merwe – North West University
Ms van der Merwe is Manager: Records Management and Administration, North West University. She has an LLB (cum laude) from the former Potchefstroom University for CHE and post-diploma certificate in Archival Studies from UNISA. She led the North West University through a new records management programme, which she initiated during the merger process. The invaluable lessons learnt and experiences gained will help guide and support other record managers, institutions and general managers embarking on an RM journey. General managerial principles were the cornerstone of the implementation process of the NW University RM programme. It became apparent that these principles had to be incorporated into an RM programme in order to effectively sell the programme to managers over a wide spectrum – from academic staff, to supporting managers and to secretaries doing general administrative work.
Aim
To equip learners with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to implement a records management programme in their organisation.

Outcomes
At the end of the workshop, the learner will be equipped to establish a RM system within the South African legislative framework.
