This is not about a new training course. It is about new advertising for the existing AIIM training course.
The AIIM course dates back to 2008/9, when AIIM commissioned an American consultancy to re-develop the course originally prepared by a team from Cornwell (in the UK) in 2006. At a very rough subjective estimate maybe half of the content resembles the 2006 original.
Back in 2009, the course introduced a couple of new-ish concepts, while also including (thankfully!) the traditional ideas you would hope for. Some parts of the course are now heavily dated and difficult to justify. Experienced practitioners are unlikely to find "exciting new concepts"; beginners find the whole thing novel.
IMHO, there is nothing automatically "wrong" about our predecessors' approach to records management - but the shift to electronic has made those old disciplines very difficult to implement successfully and has simultaneously opened up alternatives. Therefore there is good justification for debating those old approaches, and for exploring alternatives. Whether the AIIM course does this is another question.
Declaration of interest: I teach the course occasionally (please form an orderly queue); and I led the Cornwell team back in 2006.

I'd be interested too...as one of those grandpersons (is AIIM aware that women actually worked in RM back in the dark ages?) who has been an RM practitioner for 40 years, it would be good to have a summary of just what exciting new concepts AIIM is offering in its ERM training - the course modules don't appear to break any new ground.

AIIM advertises their records management training with the logo, written in bold letters: This is NOT your grandfather's records management program!
http://www.aiim.org/Training/Certificate-Courses/Electronic-Records-Management
I am very interested to learn from AIIM:
1) What is so wrong or obsolete in our grandfathers' (sic!) RM training, to deserve naming and shaming?
2) What is so revolutionary in the AIIM RM training to put to shame the RM training our grandfathers received?
I hope that AIIM will be courteous enough to give us a fact based evidence about the superiority of their course compared with our grandfathers RM training and knowledge, and not some PR verbal diarrhoea, trying to spin an insulting comment on older RM practitioners and trainers.
