Certificate in Theology

The Certificate in Theology program is designed for any who seeks to increase their knowledge of the Christian faith, by introducing the learner to the core theological subjects.

The Certificate in Theology program is the equivalent of one half-year of full-time university study, but generally it takes one to two years of part time study to complete; it must be completed within five years.

THEO courses are normally conducted by email correspondence, with recommended books and manuals. They may also be taught synchronously by Zoom or on other platforms.

Each course in the Certificate of Theology Program is to be completed within a single academic term, (Fall–September to December; Winter–January to April; Spring–May to August).

All THEO courses require a variety of written assignments and a final examination or summative exercise. Students are encouraged to submit their assignments online.
