The classes were online and you use online sources, books and research you have done. The feedback was private and there are set dates when assignments are due. Before you move make sure you have all the course books there are several. This was my first training experience I've been a hobbyist 10+ years. I was thinking of getting certified and this was my readiness test. Wow, I found out in the first session I needed the training. They give you a cross section of research you will probably do at some point. I am Black and my research has been in Iowa and Missouri. I had not done anything like the research they are teaching. The course is in-depth but the knowledge I've learned has been invaluable. I have been solving research or finding new people with ease. My mentor suggested I take Boston and Progen if I was able to afford them. I now suggest the same even if you do not get certified. The training is what helps you research your own family.

One gives professional instructor feedback and the other peer feedback each helping you to grow. I'll also be taking the Excelsior course in the future. I feel the more you learn the better you will be in your research.
