Certificate in Genealogical Research

Learn with us – Certificate course

We’ve been running a Certificate in Genealogical Research course since 2010. Designed to help members improve their research, analysis and writing skills, this course must be successfully completed before you can enrol in our Diploma in Family Historical Studies. The Certificate course is not designed to teach you how to undertake genealogical research; you are expected to already have a good working knowledge of family history and have been researching for a minimum of three years before applying. 

The course runs for 18 months and successful candidates must complete 8 components of work in that time (assessments and an online examination). Entry is only open to financial members of the SAG which can be activated upon acceptance to the course. Good internet access is important as all work is distributed and submitted online.

The current course Regulations are available in the link below. 

Applications for 2021 are now closed with the 2022 applications expected to be open in late October 2021 - there will be 2 cohorts in 2022 - starting February and August.

Learn with us – Diploma course

Once a member has completed the Certificate in Genealogical Research they may like to take their studies further by enrolling in our Diploma in Family History Studies. The Diploma has been running since 1974 and enrolment is open to any member who completes the Certificate course at a credit level of 75% or higher within the previous two years.

The current Regulations (effective 13 December 2017) can be downloaded from the link below.

Applications for admission to the Diploma course in 2022 are open from 1 January - 28 February 2022 for those who successfully completed the Certificate course in prior years. Email admin[at]sag.org.au for an application form.
