Pre-requisites: Diploma of Christian Ministry.

This Advanced Diploma builds on skills and leaning from the Diploma. Units are studied at greater depth, more detailed written work is required, and there is a greater emphasis on ministry skills development. The Advanced Diploma is the pre-requisite for those who wish to go on to degree level studies with an Australian educational institution or with Vision International University in the United States of America.

This program is ideally suited to those aspiring to or involved in Leadership within Christian ministry or work and service, or who wish to enter into a pastoral level of ministry, or those who wish to enter into a deeper level of study to serve Christ and the church.

This programme attracts Austudy, Abstudy or Youth Allowance for eligible Australian students.
The course includes a broad range of challenging, faith building, and biblically based studies relevant for personal, pastoral, church, and community life.

Upon completion of this qualification learners will have acquired the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills to serve effectively as workers and pastors, missionaries in churches, parishes, para-church organisations, missionary organisations, and in religious education. Students will learn to apply biblical principles to their daily life, and understand how to explain and share those principles with others.
