Records Management Training Testimonials

 

“I found the eLearning training materials very good. There were times when I laughed out loud! The multiple-choice questions were a great way of testing my knowledge and I ran through these several times. The distance learning aspect definitely helped me absorb the materials better, especially as I could go over them as much as I needed.”
