The Benefits of being an IIGS Student
Sometimes it takes a huge leap of faith to jump off the proverbial fence and dive into something new. You begin to wonder if it would be worth your time and money. You think about it again and ask yourself, “What’s in it for me? What would I gain from this?”
IIGS is not just another site offering online courses – we have a heartfelt desire to help you achieve your dreams of becoming a genealogist. You can contact us via email, our website chat app, and by phone. You’ll talk with a real person, we don’t use bots or those endless phone menus that keep you pushing numbers to actually reach someone.
Our student advisors are available to help you decide on what courses and certificate programs best fit your needs. We have student mentors who can help you navigate your course work, an educational YouTube channel with over 100 different videos, and a private student-only Facebook group to keep you up to date on our Virtual Meetings, course updates, and our special speaker events. Our students benefit from monthly Virtual Meetings with our instructors. These meetings give them a chance to ask questions, clarify course work, and learn new skills.
Our new website is user friendly to make learning fun and easy! It includes downloadable PDFs of our course content for you to print at home, or, if you prefer, you can order it already printed from our store. Some of our courses have required reading, so to save you time and money we’ve included them in our store as well.
Our courses are affordable – buy one at a time, buy a package of several to save money, or buy a full certificate program to save you even more! Study on your own time, when it fits your schedule. If something comes up, just give us a call so we can help you adjust your course start and end dates.
When you have completed a full certificate program you will be invited to participate in an online graduation ceremony that celebrates your accomplishments. You will be awarded with a recognized post nominal of PLCGS (Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies) that can be transferred to several universities for credit (such as the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland).
Many of our students have highly successful careers in the world of genealogy. Several work in the field of Genetic Genealogy solving cold cases and repatriating fallen soldiers, some work in museums or archives, some give lectures and presentations at events such as RootsTech, while others have created their own genealogical business with a wait list of clients.
What are you waiting for?
Take that leap of faith, jump off the fence!

How Can A Mentoring Appointment Help?
Student, Judith Tracey, found the help she needed from both her course and a mentoring professor appointment. Here’s her thoughts about what it’s like to attend the International Institute of Genealogical Studies and work with a mentoring professor.
“Just a quick note to tell you that I am delighted with my tutorial with
Laurie James. She was well prepared, thorough and very personable. I am so
grateful for IIGS support with my Irish studies. They are outside of my
American Records courses and my lack of familiarity with things Irish makes
some aspects of some of the courses quite challenging. I knew from the
beginning that navigating the Irish Registry of Deeds can be difficult, but
I was not prepared for the complexities which I experienced. However,
Laurie walked me through and we did an example together, and she helped me
make sense of it. I was able to return to the collection today (five days
later) and was able to work my way through, from the index to the memorial
books, which was the objective. You can only imagine how good that makes me
feel. There is so much information in those documents that I need to
retrieve, it would be a pity to be unable to access and explore them. I am
relieved. In closing, I would like to share my positive IIGS ‘Irish experience’, both
with Claire and Laurie with other students and those considering enrolment.
Please let me know where I should post my positive remarks.”
Your happy student/client,
Judith Tracey
