For several years ICAPGen℠ offered mentoring classes to aspiring AG® professionals to aid in the accreditation process. Did you know these classes are now available online? The FamilySearch Learning Center hosts hundreds of free courses for genealogists, and among them are the ICAPGen Mentoring Classes.
These nine classes are a resource not only for researchers in the process of accreditation, but are foundational for genealogists of all experience levels–a good brush-up for all of us. While the research techniques presented in the videos are current, some aspects of the accreditation process have changed–so be sure to check the ICAPGen website for the current application process.
The FamilySearch Learning Center has links to these classes:
