Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other universities that have courses on access to information. The University of Alberta course is a few years old now, and we're seeing people starting to graduate from the course. Certainly my staff have taken training through the University of Alberta.
But so much of the training that's required for access to information officers is based on hands-on work and actually knowing what to do with a document when you receive it. That's why we feel the developmental program is a good step: we're providing in-depth mentoring to our employees, and our recruits through the program have all indicated that they're very happy with the mentoring they're receiving, the hands-on mentoring.
