SOG & Pharos Family History Course

 

SOG Pharos Family History Course The Society of Genealogists, in conjunction with Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Ltd is now bringing its popular classroom programme to the Web. Following successful pilot courses last year, the Society and Pharos have teamed up to make available a full course of instruction, with  optional assessment, to any interested genealogist anywhere in the world. First modules in the Skills and Strategies programme will be offered in September 2010. It will be possible to complete all 10 modules in an 18 month period.

Students choosing to take all ten modules as a full programme with assessments leading to the Intermediate Certificate can sign up now at an introductory price of £450. This represents a saving of £42.90 on the full listed price.  Each module is monitored by the Society to ensure excellent standards of content and teaching.

Students may, alternatively, choose not have work assessed and to take any arrangement of individual topics. Courses taken individually without assessment cost less.

Information about the course and a link for bookings can also be found on the Society of Genealogists’ website

Mad About Genealogy will be offering FREE online video genealogy lessons within the next couple of months so you might want to wait and see if they suit you ….. and your pocket better!!!

ONLINE COURSES

UNIVERSITY of CAMBRIDGE ONLINE COURSES

Cambridge University offer some splendid courses both online & onsite. Sadly I see that the online Family History courses have to been cancelled, but a note does say they are being restructured and will be offered again later. I’ll report back when they become available again. However there are still some good courses that would be of help to genealogists including several on palaeography.
