Distance Learning

Distance learning courses are especially suitable for those who are unable to take large amounts of time off to go to a training centre, such as a ministry training course or theological college. Working at their own pace students can do short one-off courses, go through a series of modules or work towards a recognised qualification. We recommend the Open Bible Institute which incorporates the following types of courses:

• Short Courses: Stand alone courses for those who are new to studying or who want to dip their toe into a specific topic. Fees are £15-35 per course. Topics include:

Administration

Pastoral Care

Preaching

Christian Mission and Ministry

• Moore College Correspondence Course: The well-known distance learning course in biblical studies and theology. Students can do individual modules or a whole course. Subjects include:

Introduction to the Bible

Studies in the New Testament

Studies in the Old Testament

Doctrine

Various Bible books (Romans, Ephesians, the Gospels, 1, 2 and 3 John)

Church History (Reformation, early church)

Ethics and Apologetics

• Certificated Courses: For those with some leadership responsibility or those who want to study for a formal academic qualification. Each module requires approximately 10-12 hours of study per week and is assessed via a range of methods including essays, exams and book reviews. Each module costs £95 (plus a registration fee of £370 payable to Middlesex University). Subjects include:

Theology and Biblical Studies
