Our courses build on each other.
Short courses connect directly into longer degrees, so you can discover your path as you study. For example, our Certificates form the first half of a Diploma, and a Diploma counts as the first year of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree.
We have over 18 courses, specially tailored to fit your academic level, plans for ministry, and personal goals.
