ICAP Test

I recall from the ICAPGEN conference that there was some discussion about making the "Test" part of the accreditation process more accessible - perhaps even offering it on line. I think the main…Continue

Comment by D G Laity on July 10, 2016 at 6:13am: Further to last, I could be wrong - it does seem to have recognised me and remembered my account here.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Oh well, at least I can get on with my project again. Thanks to anyone who read and was prepared to help. It is much appreciated.

Comment by D G Laity on July 10, 2016 at 6:11am: I have an awful feeling I've made a mess of things.

I had thought I signed up about this time last year, when I first started looking into the Level 1 ICAP Gen exam.

Trouble is, I was ill meanwhile and had to stop for a bit, and then this morning, when I went to sign in on the ICAP Gen page, it said my email doesn't exist and directed me to create a profile, which loaded to here.

I definitely have been here before, I'm sure of it.

Could anybody please direct me to the appropriate place to get help?

Comment by Jake Fletcher on April 28, 2015 at 4:24pm: My name is Jake Fletcher, I have been pursuing genealogy for six years and it has become more than hobby, but rather a career direction. I find that just coming from school, my genealogy education has been mostly solitary. I am producing a lot of work right now that I would like to work towards my portfolio. I have met a lot of people who said my work is great, but I feel like I could really benefit from someone reviewing my work with more scrutiny so I can become better. Does anyone have any suggestions or are they interested in reading some genealogy work I have produced.

Thank you, your time is greatly appreciated,

Jake

Comment by Michael Carson on September 7, 2012 at 2:19pm: I am new to this group. Don't see much by way of a guide how to get around the website and participate and ask questions, etc.

How do I contribute questions to the Discussion Forum? Thanks.
