'' | '' This page discusses the steps to obtain genealogical accreditation through the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists (ICAPGEN).'' | ||
ICAPGEN℠ is internationally recognized in setting the standards for the genealogical community through comprehensive written and oral examinations. These examinations test an individual’s competence in genealogical research in a geographic region of the world. A map and list of the current regions is provided here: http://www.icapgen.org/icapgen/regions. The tests are administered by a board of qualified '''commissioners''' with many years of experience in research within the tested areas. Professional credentials provide benefits to both the genealogical community and the individual and greatly improve and enhance genealogical research as a whole. | ICAPGEN℠ is internationally recognized in setting the standards for the genealogical community through comprehensive written and oral examinations.
