Online Students and local Seminarians.

Remember you will be able to complete these courses in bite sized chunks part time (or you may study full time and complete courses faster) its all at your own pace. Students do not have to donate for Complete Courses all in one go, unless they want to of course. Therefore each section, (module) may be paid by donation separately, in segments, even though you sign up for the whole course.

Please contact the Administrator Deaconess Joy Dietsch for an application form to Register overall with us and have your questions answered. You may make your online payment for your registration below.

Note: No major decisions will be made with regard to students acceptance at a specific level or our intention (or not) to ordain, without our receipt of an hard copy application form, filled in and signed, with registration being completed by payment received either by cheque or via our online payment facility here. Also for ordinations we need time to peruse the seminarians life experience, journey with God, Christian experience and Church involvement, vision, leading, references, spousal agreement, psychological assessment, etc..

This ordained ministry is not a normal job, it is a vocation within the church and we have a right and duty of care to the people under our care and those they may minister to, so it is important to do whatever searches and take up references and investigate wherever we so desire.

We desire to see you become successful with our prestigious and thoroughly mentored training offered.

Attention of PA - Administrator - Margaret Wingrove

You may complete your course/s online, or you may also attend the Seminary Campus every month. The Seminary attendance is aimed at mature Christians, who are either potential or existing Leaders in the church. This training is specifically for Pastoral workers and those seeking leadership Commissioning, or Full Ordination with Holy Orders, which is sorely needed in today's ministry.

These courses are very LOW COST and designed for members of our World Communion and are offered to the wider Church here in good faith in the hope that we will be able to equip more of the saints and thereby furnish a common work for the Kingdom of God. The Gospel is free but spreading it costs time and money. Those who work by the Gospel should live by the Gospel, in more ways than one.

For £59 GBP Registration to become a CTS Seminarian, £39 application fee when you apply for a course and only £20 per month to study with us at part time or £40 full time. This is fantastic value for money.</b></div><div><font color="#0000ff"><br /></font></div><div><b>Work/Life experience - prior learning will be taken into account when working out what counts towards overall credits a person needs at Degree level and a voucher will be given to that end. </b><b>The Pre-Examination will need to be completed along with presentation of the previous certification and documented evidence of work related courses or experience in specific work programmes, etc. </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>We will issue individual credit vouchers for prior learning (life experience, job, college, work qualifications, etc) upon student registration being satisfied and to avail a student of the credits being offered in good faith. We will need to establish this prior learning and it is the students responsibility to build their own file on their previous learning with relevant certification, before agreeing the credits needed to be worked for on each course. So please ensure that you apply for your credits before paying for a course after registering, to ensure you agree the correct credits. Otherwise you may pay for a course before we establish your credit voucher value and a dispute could occur. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>______________________________________________________</b></div><div><br /></div><div>CTS-000.
