Part time program with flexible delivery options for those who wish to be better equipped to serve in their local church.
The Christian Ministry Training Certificate is specifically designed as a part-time program and all of the classes are normally held off-campus. The units have been designed for maximum flexibility. They are offered in an intensive format, with the lectures, tutorials and course work being delivered in a variety of ways to suit local church needs.
These flexible delivery options make this program accessible to students in a variety of circumstances.
Depending on the number of units available locally to the student, completing the whole program would normally require a minimum of three years study. There are currently no upper limits on the length of study.

In order to graduate from the full program of study, twenty-four units must be taken.

However, the college may suggest that certain units are best studied in a sequence.
