In general, you need a high school diploma and may need to complete additional training related to your area of work. To be a health records technician, you need a two- to three-year college or other program in health records management and certification from the Canadian Health Record Association which allows you to work in all provinces / territories. Many recent entrants have a trade / vocational certificate or community college diploma, and almost 1 in 5 has an undergraduate university degree.
