Validated Programmes
Our validated programmes range from Certificate (Level 4) through to MA (Level 7). We have a BA(Hons) (Levels 4-6) which is studied over 6 years and offers a comprehensive and engaging study programme.
Our Graduate Diploma in Kingdom Theology (Level 6), a 2-year diploma, is our most popular programme. We have an optional Specialist Track in Church Planting and Leadership (CPL) available for those who have a degree, but not in theology, or with significant ministry experience.
We also have a non-validated Foundations in Kingdom Theology Course which provides a great grounding for those interested in going deeper into the Bible and theological studies without the time and financial commitment of a university level programme.
Our programmes are validated by Birmingham Newman University.
"The shape of theological education and leadership development in the Church is changing dramatically. I’ve spent plenty of time looking for quality training providers who can meet our contemporary training needs, and am very impressed with WTC. I’m regularly recommending WTC to leaders who come to me for advice, and we are seeing that the WTC programmes are providing a key piece to the Leadership Pathway we are developing."
