Earning the Accredited Genealogist credential with the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGen) allows you to demonstrate your research proficiency in a chosen area. Benefits include strengthened research skills, confidence in performing client work, and respect in the genealogy community.
Becoming an Accredited Genealogist Professional: The Why, the What, the How, coordinated by Diana Elder, AG, and Lisa Stokes, AG, is for the advanced researcher ready to explore the accreditation process. This interactive course will cover the requirements for each ICAPGen testing level and give you valuable information for successful testing. Assignments will provide experience with skills needed for passing each level. You will use rubrics to evaluate your work and that of your peers. A four-hour Level 3 practice project and a personalized meeting with an AG mentor knowledgeable in the chosen region of accreditation will cap off the week.
