First, we all are grateful for Legacy Family Tree Webinars. This was a clear and concise webinar to start you on the clock or preparation before applying.
Good format. I’m currently ‘on the clock’ for certification, and I thought the questions at the end and detailed answers by the presenters were especially helpful.
Good material and folks presenting, but still a bit confusing about the process and what would be a good example. I have over 50 years of experience under my belt and still feel intimidated by the process. (I guess that’s just me.)
Good to have this webinar!
Great explanation of the BCG Certification process. Thank you!

I am “on the clock” and I always get something from these types of webinars. This one was particularly well done.
I am feeling much more confident about seeking certification after taking part in today’s webinar. Thank you!
I am more encouraged to move forward, My clock has been running and I had begun to panic, but now I feel more confident in what needs to be done. Thank you.

Informative and encouraging. Thank you!
It clarified a lot of the steps. I plan to look at the recommended books.
It felt a little slow, but I appreciated the explanations.
it was beyond my expertise
It was GREAT information, THANKS!!
It was so beneficial to chart my next steps in regards to genealogy.
It was very helpful.
It’s all in the application materials which I have studied extensively. I didn’t learn anything new.
made the process less daunting…less afraid to go for it
Mostly a referral to other resources to develop skills, but helpful.
My first portfolio was not approved and I need to submit again. This webinar is very helpful for me. Due to medical problems there will be a delay in my new submission.
Needed this overview and appreciated the updates. Especially the reminder that the portfolio does not have to be perfect- and that it is about demonstrating my skills. I’ve been caught up in politics (like who hasn’t!), but am ready to get back to genealogy. As you went through the requirements, I realized that I may actually have material I can use for about half the portfolio! (I may change my mind on that as I start polishing it, though).
Not what I expected but I did learn things
Seems very daunting to a non-professional. But, It also would be a wonderful thing to achieve.
Thank you
Thank you for making the process sound achievable. I just hope I can do it well.
Thank you so much!
