Classes are conducted once a month, ten times a year. In addition to classes, students are required to do an internship for each level of credentialing. Classes will normally take place the second Saturday of the month. The weekday classes take place the third Monday night of the month.
Three courses are offered each month, one for each corresponding credential level(certified, licensed and ordained). Saturday classes take place from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM with an hour break for lunch. Monday classes take place from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Please see the class locations and class schedule pages for more information on class locations and times.
Prior to class, each student is required to completely read the course textbook and complete the corresponding study guide. A minimum of ten hours of preparatory work is necessary. Students will be notified in advance of any additional pre-session requirements that may be added on a class-by-class basis.
The classroom instruction provides an overview of the material, practical applications and opportunity for questions and discussion. Instructors use personal experience and a variety of teaching methods.
The final exam will be taken during the opening session of the class.
Instructors are limited to credentialed ministers or others with outstanding qualifications who have distinguished themselves academically and/or in their field of ministry. Faculty members become natural members as they build relationships and share experience with their students.
