A summary of the changes is provided below.

We&#8217;ve added an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/ct-find-list.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">easier-to-view website page<\/a> that contains contact forms for Certified Trainers. Here&#8217;s a sample of what it looks like:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3926\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ct-list.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ct-list.png 1014w, https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ct-list-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ct-list-768x408.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Updated Guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Probably the most significant updates are the introduction of two areas of focus for Certified Trainers: as Presenters or Mentors. Now CTs and prospective CTs can choose one or both areas of specialty. Presenters teach classes on the Introduction to The Family History Guide and other classes from the website, and Mentors coach individuals on how to use The Family History Guide. Qualification steps and guidelines for each are explained on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefhguide.com\/ct-become.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Become a Certified Trainer<\/a> page. Also included are FAQs for Presenters and Mentors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interested in Becoming a Certified Trainer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you a fan of The Family History Guide and love training and mentoring in family history? Now is a great time to consider becoming a Certified Trainer. We anticipate a rush of new CT candidates around RootsTech time, so check out the CT pages on the website: they are in the Trainers menu, in the Certified Trainers entry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\u201cwv-ignore\u201d>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.websitevoice.com\/gdg8sme9Co8djc4uHOHRfA\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script>\n  window.wvData=window.wvData||{};function wvtag(a,b){wvData[a]=b;}\n  wvtag('id', 'gdg8sme9Co8djc4uHOHRfA');\n  wvtag('text-selector', '.entry-inner');\n  wvtag('widget-style', {\n    className: 'wv-circle-small',\n    contrast: 'wv-contrast-dark'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a great group of Certified Trainers for The Family History Guide, spanning from Australia to\u00a0Nigeria.
