Study Options
What are the different study options?
You can study full-time which involves studying 4 units per semester.
You can study part-time which involves studying 2 units per semester.
Is online learning an option?
Although all classes activities are recorded, we discourage students from purely studying online due to the missed in class teaching and ministry, as well as the missed touch point between our team and students.
Accredited versus Audit Stream
What is the difference between accredited and audit?
With Accredited stream you will be required to complete assessments, and you will receive a diploma certificate at the end of your time studying. The cost for accredited study is significantly higher (FEE-HELP is available for Australian citizens).
The Audit stream is designed for those who are hungry for God but do not want the pressure of studying and assessments. You won’t receive a diploma certificate, and the cost is significantly cheaper.
The serving/placement expectations are the same for both streams.
Class times
What day and time to classes run?
For Accredited students classes run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tuesday classes run from 9am to 3:30pm, with breaks in between classes. Wednesday classes run fro 9am to 2pm.
For Audit stream students you would attend classes on Tuesday from 9am to 1pm; and on Wednesday from 9am to 1pm.
