The following announcement was written by the Society of Genealogists:
Friday 26th June, 2015:
The
Society of Genealogists & Pharos Teaching & Tutoring today
announced a new joint programme of education, the distance learning Certificate of Family History Skills and Strategies (Advanced).
The
Society of Genealogists, in conjunction with Pharos Teaching and
Tutoring Ltd has been running its popular Intermediate distance learning
programme since September 2010. The Advanced Certificate builds on
this. It brings a two-year programme of assessed education online
starting on 1 October 2015, consisting of taught modules and special
stand-alone tutorial sessions. Pharos and the Society are working with
the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (AGRA) to
enable students to reach the standards necessary for membership
application should they wish to work as professional genealogists in the
future.
Taught modules are:
- Old Handwriting – An Introduction to Secretary Hand
- Manorial Records for Family and Local Historians
- Church & Community 1540 – 1800; Selected Records
- Researching Online for Advanced Genealogists
- An Introduction to Medieval Genealogy
- Researching in Archives for Advanced Genealogists
- Land and Legal Records
- Advanced Reports and Methods
Each module is monitored by the Society to ensure excellent standards of content and teaching.
The Advanced Skills and Strategies
Certificate course is open to those who have successfully completed the
Intermediate programme and are now looking for advanced instruction and
the chance to undertake a family history project under supervision and
in an early time period.
Students who have not completed the
Intermediate course may, alternatively, choose not have work assessed
and may take any module as a stand-alone option. Courses taken
individually without assessment cost less.
