This distance learning course is strongly recommended for those routinely involved full or part time in leadership ministry with The Salvation Army. Subjects are offered in English language, with some available in other languages (French, Portuguese, Kiswahili). Acceptance for the course follows approval by the territory/command/region, based on the student’s educational needs. There is no minimum educational requirement. In order to be awarded a Certificate in Salvation Army Ministry, a student must successfully pass at least six (6) subjects. However, they are not limited in the number of subjects they may wish to take. Each subject assesses personal learning through a combination of written assignments and an examination.
The Certificate Course is appropriate for Officers, as part of their post-Commissioning studies. It provides a continuing cycle of learning, alongside prior residential training, and a sound basis for sustained spiritual leadership.
