I have also been looking for a course which will give me a qualification in genealogy. The only one I have found in Australia so far is at the University of New England [UNE] and way above what I can afford. However the University of Dundee has a Post Graduate Certificate of Local and Family History done via the internet. http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cais/ With the exchange rate as it is at the moment it is very tempting and about half the fees of the UNE course. The benefits of the Dundee course is that one can undertake the program as a whole or take it in sections. Mary Anne Gourley Melbourne
