Many national and commercial repositories are preparing for certification and legislation is already in place in Italy requiring repositories to be certified. It is important to ensure you have the knowledge to ensure your data is trustworthy and accessible in the future and a certified internationally recognised ISO certified repository will give your organisation/clients the confidence and reassurance that their data has been audited by an independent body to the highest standards. The correct training in preparation for certification is essential and there is no other organisation to equal the knowledge of PTAB in this area as the tutors are the authors of these standards.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">The 5-day training course will be held at The Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"> </span>from <span class="gmail-m_378480081754346590gmail-m_-3057749881096521374gmail-aBn"><span class="gmail-m_378480081754346590gmail-m_-3057749881096521374gmail-aQJ">6-10 March 2017</span></span>.
