Since 1961, the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies (IHGS) has been at the heart of genealogical education with its gold-standard distance-learning courses. Alongside its acclaimed Higher Certificate in Genealogy, the institute now does smaller ‘Bitesize Online Courses’ using a new Web-based learning platform that offers an interactive, accessible and flexible learning experience.
The IHGS is offering one lucky reader a £135 voucher to spend on any of its Bitesize courses. You can either start with the ‘Tracing Your Roots: Foundations of Family History Research’ course, worth £135, or you can book some of the shorter themed courses. Starting at just £35, these range from beginner-level courses covering topics such as parish registers, to more advanced courses on manorial or Poor Law records.
