SLIG Spring Virtual 2027: Becoming an Accredited Genealogist® Professional

Leave a comment

The Becoming an Accredited Genealogist® Professional course at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) guides students through the accreditation process while giving them opportunities to develop and practice the skills they’ll need along the way.

We’ll work on the Four Generation Project, source citations, research methodology, evidence analysis and correlation, genealogical proofs, research reports, research logs, document interpretation, research planning, and more.

We’ll also focus on preparing for ICAPGen Testing, including the Document Interpretation and General Knowledge exams, and the Final Project.

Not ready to accredit? You can still benefit! Many of the skills taught throughout the course can help you become a stronger genealogist, whether accreditation is your immediate goal, a future possibility, or not in your plans.

Join us to prepare for accreditation, strengthen your research skills, or both.

Thursdays, March 18th–April 29th, 2027.
