The certificate program provides a solid background in fundamental family history research principles coupled with specialized genealogical training in a particular geographical area." "The certificate requires 18 hours of course work: HIST 400, The Family and the Law in American History (3 hours); HIST 421, English Language Handwriting and Documents (3 hours); HIST 481R*, Directed Research in Family History (13 hours); two source courses (6 hours); one elective course (3 hours)." The website explains: "The certificate program should not be confused with certification. The certificate program can help prepare you, but is not required, for certification or accreditation, two separate, private forms of qualifying professional genealogists. For information regarding certification or accreditation, you may write to: -- Board for Certification of Genealogists, P.O. Box 14291, Washington, DC 20044 -- ICAPGen, P.O. Box 1144, Salt Lake City, UT 84110. Call 1-888-463-6842 or check online at www.infouga.org. Email www.infouga.org for information regarding accreditation."
