Certificate IV in Christian Ministry and Theology
(Course Code 11237NAT; CRICOS Course Code: 114896G)
A Vocational Course of study with Eastern College Australia
Our study pathway
Vocational study is a great way to get to know God and His story. In this Certificate IV course you'll participate in a range of practical topics about God, how to read the Bible and how to work with others.
This course is designed to be practical, with a strong emphasis on class interaction with trainers and trainees.
The residential model means that your classroom learning doesn't finish at the end of class. Instead, you'll be able to talk to teachers, staff, and trainees informally around the dinner table or doing duties together.
As a certificate student you'll be guided through different learning experiences and activities, eventually leading to a range of practical assessments.
By the end of this course you will have confidence in handling different theological ideas and how to talk to others about God in practical ways.
If you want to draw closer to a deeper walk with God, grasp the Bible and become more aware of your fit and place in His mission then this Certificate IV course is for you.
