Heraldry Training Study Group
The Heraldry Training Study Group is charged with the composition and implementation of a heraldry training and qualification program for the Society. This program will offer elementary and advanced certificates in heraldry as well as recommend individuals for the title of Registered Heraldist (RH). It is headed by a Coordinator who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Dean of Studies.
Once the program is established, the Study Group will administer all aspects of it, to include maintaining and revising curricula, grading exams and working with Society Headquarters to issue certificates of completion, assigning academic advisors for Registered Heraldist candidates, and evaluating RH candidate design and research projects.
Understandably, there will be significant overlap between the membership of this Study Group and the Society’s Heraldry Committee, but this group is set apart so the Committee can focus on processing arms registrations and other “regular” heraldic tasks. Others who may not have an interest in heraldic matters but who have an educational or academic background or are willing to help with general administration are particularly invited to join the Study Group.
Assistance will be offered by the Communications Department in developing print and online materials.
