Course description

The Genealogy Diploma Level 3 course assumes that you have no prior knowledge of family history or key types of research. It will guide students, step by step, through the process of tracing your their own or someone elses family tree and history. We all originate from the accumulation of genes, characteristics, and the behaviours of our ancestors. This course is ideal for those who have pondered about their ancestors i.e. how they looked, what they did for a living and how they behaved. It is also ideal for anyone who is keen to pursue the discipline of genealogy in a professional capacity or role.

Family history research termed Genealogy, is said to be the fastest-growing hobby in the UK, as well as being the second most popular topic currently on the internet. Tracing ancestors goes deeper than your average interest or hobby, fulfilling a basic need to get to know our origins and understand ourselves better. It can provide no end of fun and pleasure.

With this course students will be able to make huge progress researching a genealogy. Students can take a family line back hundreds of years.
