1What it is
A certificate in arranging and describing archival records – the core of an archivist's work – in more depth than graduate programmes usually give. The curriculum runs in tracks and tiers, from foundations to advanced specialisation.
2Who it suits
Archivists who want to deepen or move into processing and description, and the librarians and records managers who work with them.
3What it requires
No academic requirement for the courses; the certificate goes to those who pass the exams of all eight courses.
4How it is earned
Eight courses across the curriculum's four tiers, each with its own short online exam; at least two are taken in person or live online, and experienced archivists may test out of the foundational courses.
