Are you looking to develop your technology skills for family history but prefer to learn in a single, immersive day?

This full-day intensive version of our popular three-part course brings together all the essential topics into one hands-on learning experience.

Across the day, you'll explore how to:

• Use a Variety of Software Tools: Build your skills with common programs and online tools to manage and analyse your research.

Using a case-study approach, this workshop demonstrates practical skills in real time, allowing you to follow along, experiment, and apply what you learn immediately. Our expert instructor will provide step-by-step guidance, with opportunities for questions and individual support throughout the day.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a solid foundation in the key digital skills needed to research, organise, and preserve your family history with confidence. This course is ideal for those starting their research or anyone feeling overwhelmed by the digital side of genealogy.
