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. 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 12 months, and successful candidates must complete 8 components of work in that time (assessments and an online examination). Certificate regulationsApplications for 2024 cohorts are now open - there will be 2 cohorts in 2024 - you can either start the course in February or August. Enrolment for February 2024 cohort via: https://sag.org.au/event-5405791 See THIS LINK for further information on the 2024 cohorts. | 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 Historical 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 (it is also no longer the case that this needs to be completed within the previous two years).

The Society of Australian Genealogists is not currently registered with government regulators as a higher education provider. Courses, including our Certificate and Diploma are non-accredited and do not at this time result in the award of a qualification recognised with the Australian Qualifications Framework. We do however, constantly review and adapt our courses in line with both the practices and standards of genealogical education given our extensive sector experience and with governance through a Diploma and Certificate Committee and the Society’s Board .
