Essentials of GARP® Certificate

The new “Essentials of GARP® Certificate” combines a wealth of real-world insights and expertise into one valuable package!

The program consists of materials that show how the eight Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® (GARP®) represent years and years of accepted best practices. Learn how to apply GARP® to identify and address gaps in your information governance program and to prepare it for virtually any legal challenge.

The program is designed for RIM beginners and veterans alike:

  • Beginners receive a comprehensive education in RIM because the principles are a uniform collection of best practices and policy.
  • Seasoned RIM professionals can learn real-world ways to apply the principles and the Maturity Model to assess and strengthen their information governance.
