Certified Saskatchewan Instructor


This course consists of two classroom sessions where candidates learn how to teach basic methodology, ethics and research techniques to beginning genealogists. Students learn how to develop lesson plans, to present workshops and evaluate lessons they have been presented. It is expected that the candidates will prepare and teach at least 10 hours of workshops. The Open Book exam is designed to serve as their teachers’ resource book. It is shown to the Board of Certification at their meeting with them. Successful candidates are expected to sign the SGS Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics. There is an expectation that the successful candidates will continue to keep abreast of the latest methodology and teaching techniques by attending seminars and workshops and participating in SGS activities. The Saskatchewan Record Searcher Course is a compulsory part of this certificate program. The certificate is temporary for two years. At the end of that time the Instructor is expected to complete a written report outlining their teaching and continuing educational activities. Successful candidates are then given a Permanent Certificate that is valid for five years.
