International Students
Because courses are delivered online, geographical boundaries need no longer be a hindrance and we welcome international student inquiries. We are also open to working in partnership with other New Church organisations in the support and promotion of the Lord’s Second Advent across cultures.
The structure of our courses are flexible in that there is plenty of scope for the inclusion of materials tailored to cultural considerations.
Informal Study
We have made the course content for both the Certificate & the Diploma freely available to anyone who wants to study. The casual student can study each module and even do the assignments.
However, only enrolled students will receive guidence from a tutor and have assignments graded. Therefore only formally enrolled students can receive the Certificate and Diploma at the completion of the study.
