Short training courses
The National Archives provides three short training courses in records and information management, together with the function of the UK public records system. These courses are intended for staff from government departments and public record bodies which transfer records to The National Archives. They are not suitable for any other organisations or members of the public.
Introductory module
Introduction to the public records system
This course gives background information for those involved in work on records. It is a one-day course and includes a tour of The National Archives at Kew.
Modules about the transfer of records to The National Archives
These are two half-day modules, which normally take place on the same day so that departmental records staff can attend either or both. They are:
Cataloguing
This course explains The National Archives' requirements for the arrangement and description of records.
Preparation for transfer
This course covers the physical preparation of records and the completion of The National Archives' forms necessary for transfer.
