What it is

A professional credential in records and information management: creating and using records, organising and retrieving them, retention and disposal schedules, protecting them, and the technology behind all of it. The institute's first level (CRA) goes to those who pass three parts of the exam. It matters to government bodies and universities moving to electronic records and correspondence.

Who it suits

Records, archives and administrative correspondence officers, and information managers in government bodies and universities.

What it requires

A degree and practical experience in records management; the institute credits some university programmes in place of parts of the exam.

How it is earned

An exam in six parts taken in stages, the last a written case study; the parts need not be taken at the same time.
