Hi everyone from a newcomer!

I wonder if anyone could give any feedback'/advise on studying for a diploma on Genealogy. I would be starting at the beginning as I have no experience except of internet research.

I work full-time from home, so a distance learning course would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Karen

Hi have you searched on line there are lots of Genealogy Courses depending on what level you require. Linell.

Thanks for your reply.

I did search online. I found that there are many Diploma courses but the price range varies a lot and wondered why?
E.g Oxford Learning College offer a Diploma in Genealogy for £330 distance learning and Strathclyde Uni offer a Diploma course: Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies - distance learning for £2,750. That is a huge difference in price.

After looking for reviews, I wouldn't go with Oxford, but wondered if anyone else had gained a Diploma and which college they used.

Thanks,
Karen

Are you doing it just because you find it interesting? Or do you hope to market your skills later?
