Document control ensures that only approved documents are used and in circulation throughout the organization.

Control of documents could also mean functions like editing and modification of documents, updates added to current and existing documents, withdrawal of old and expired documents and the security of the original documentation.A good Document Controller ensures that the document and information obtained in the hands of an officer or executive are the most up to date one. A good document control system also progresses towards the concept of paperless process automation.This course on Document Control Training will empower participants to understand the foundations of controlling a document from start to finish in a particular department or project. You learn to play a vital role in delivering the most relevant reports and statistics on documents maintained.
