How you will be assessed:

Assessment is by course work and presentations to peers.

An assessor will be a tutor who will be verified by the internal verifier.

An assessment criterion will be given to you before hand and meeting those requirements by yourself in the course work will count towards your successful completion. You will be given feedback on a regular basis by the assessor who is your course tutor.

What are the benefits?

You will have a formal accreditation as minister or church elder or as a department head or  as the case might in your role as a church leader.

You will be equipped with the knowledge of planning and managing a defined group of people you are overseeing . This could be a cell group, church choir, zone, etc.

You will acquire generic skills in ICT, Literacy and Numeracy as some components in the syllabus will require you to learn how to handle a small budget for your group. It could be any scenario ranging from a social tea and coffee ministry, soup kitchen and more. You will use a spreadsheet to present that budget and word process the summaries.

You will be able to demonstrate ability to link your church work and show relevance to the community and migrate the skills to a job situation where you work.

With increased demands on evidence of knowledge in leadership and form of management accreditation you will be able to present our certificate To Whom It May Concern.

You will become a better church leader and manager by adding to the knowledge that you are already using in your current role as a church leader.
