In 2012 I suggested to the International Society of British Genealogy and Family History (ISBGFH) that a course be offered on genetic testing. It is now a pleasure to say that a one week crash course on DNA and genetic testing is being conducted by Dr. Maurice Gleeson in Salt Lake City, Utah September 18-22, 2017, through ISBGFH. The course is geared towards beginners. Registration is now open for ISBGFH courses for the 2017 session. The courses are conducted in the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel, adjacent to the Family History Library of SLC. My experience with these courses is that they are not recorded for later playback.
http://isbgfh.org/Dr. Gleeson runs the Gleeson Y project, Ireland mtDNA, and others I cannot think of at the moment. I have found his presentation to be enjoyable and relaxing and recommend him highly. He also has a Youtube channel.
