The course is well designed, with good depth of information. The amount of learning in each section is good. Assessments help confirm that you are grasping the concepts. For a topic as broad as DNA genealogy, they have done a very good job. A few concepts, terms and tools are mentioned without fully introducing them, so had to occasionally jump over to Google to stay caught up, but it worked well.

The most in depth DNA class yet!! This online class is perfect for beginners and intermediates who are interested in finding their biological families. I loved the triangulation sections.

This course was very thorough and I was happy with the order in which it was taught. Each section flowed into the next with good explanations and examples of the topic. Adding the skills practice, to apply what was learned, before taking the assessment was very helpful. I would recommend the trace DNA Academy to anyone looking to advance their knowledge of DNA and research methodologies.

I just completed the DNA Academy-Genetic Genealogy for Beginners & Intermediate Course. This course was packed full of informative information. I was definitely in the "beginner" stage when starting this course and have found the content extremely useful. I now have to put all this information to use! It was well worth the cost.

I have taken dozens of courses (online and in-person) on topics running the gamut from adoption to DNA to triangulation, and the Trace course is by far the most helpful. The lessons are deep, thoughtful, not repetitive, and well packaged. Lessons contain a multitude of worksheets, practices, and assessments for understanding the rich material. Trace goes above and beyond the traditional approach!

I had a successful conclusion to my research. The researcher gave important monthly updates that made me realize that there was someone working on it. It does take some time depending on what your research is about but as I said I feel it was worth it to get the answers.

I found the Skills Practice activities to be very helpful. It's one thing to read about it, but then to turn around and do the activity was extremely beneficial to me.

I appreciated that no one from Trace over-promised what could be achieved in a difficult search. Also appreciated the transparent pricing and there was no subsequent 'upselling'. The final report contained information that I had not been able to find for myself, and was well-written. I thought it was money well spent and would use this service again if I come across another family history hurdle that requires some professional knowhow.
