I am a Director of a Family History Center. I don't know how to use the Premium Sites. Is there a training on how to use the sites?

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Just in passing ...

[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

[ And, I have been a Staff Member, of Family History Centres", of the Church, for many Years ... ]

You are not alone ...

Many of us have been there ...

Just for starters ...

Some of these Articles are a little 'Dated' (some aspects, have changed); but, they are a good starting point ...

'FamilySearch "Blog"

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

The NEW ("Updated")

https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/family-history-center-operations-guide

Do not forget to look at all the "Resources" on the Church Website for a "Family History Centre".

Oh ...

And, I almost forgot ...

There is a lot of "Help" in "Helper Resources" ...

Plus ...

Do not forget you "Temple and Family History" Network ...

One of your "Area, Temple & Family History, Advisors", CAN; &, SHOULD, also be able to help/assist/train.

Good Luck.

I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
