Ever wanted to know about becoming a certified
genealogist?
Here's the the BCG website:
http://www.bcgcertification.org/certification/
The first and most necessary step to becoming
certified is to
acquire the knowledge and skills that
exemplify the standards articulated in the BCG
Genealogical Standards Manual. Adequate experience is
absolutely essential to acquiring the necessary
expertise. No specific program of education is
required; however, as standards rise genealogists
increasingly are finding that educational preparation
via institutes and conferences is extremely helpful.
Applicants also benefit from studying case studies
developed by certified persons and published in
national genealogical journals to be helpful.
Certification results from evaluation of work samples
in a portfolio submission. BCG requires different
materials for each certification category. Three to
four judges independently evaluate each application.
If three judges recommend certification, you will be
certified for a five-year period. You can perpetuate
your certification with five-year renewal applications
showing that you have kept your
skills up to date.
