Most classes are followed by a hands-on laboratory period with individual one-on-one training for each student. The curriculum includes training in the research process, as well as computer training covering various genealogy data management programs, all aspects of FamilySearch, FamilySearch on the Internet, and clearing names for the temple using the latest procedures.
