Study at your own Pace

Studying full-time is the quickest way to gain the knowledge and qualification you're seeking. However, that's not always possible if you have a job or other commitments.

To help you, we offer part-time study, fully online. The study duration for any our certificate courses is 6 months (full-time) and up to 2 years (part-time).

Course units will be delivered in multiple modes including online and livestream, as well as on campus if and when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. If you can't attend weekly lectures consider enrolling into a 3-day intensive unit or a semester-long online unit.

Another popular option is to study casually - you won't have assignments and exams - it great way to draw closer to God and discover where He could be leading you.
