Course overview
Introduction
Contact lists, supplier records, membership data, asset registers, training records and request logs are central to administrative work. When information is scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes and paper files, it becomes hard to find, easy to duplicate and difficult to keep accurate.
This Database and Information Management for Administrators training course introduces practical ways to organise, maintain and use information effectively. Participants learn the basics of database design, data entry standards, data quality, searching and reporting, and how to choose between spreadsheets, simple database tools and organisational systems.
The course also covers data protection, access control, retention and the procedures needed to keep shared information reliable, so administrators can provide accurate information quickly and confidently.
