• Overview

  The Online Teaching and Learning Certificate program is designed for theological instructors or administrators to gain knowledge of and to begin teaching in a virtual environment.
  
  Upon completion of the 5 courses the instructor will have the ability to confidently design, develop and teach an online course. The courses are also designed to progress through a developing schedule and if desired with minimal extra effort could allow an instructor to have a course ready for delivery in the online environment upon completion of the certificate.
  
  Each course will award 2 CEU's. Courses are 4 weeks each and will require about 3-6 hours a week to complete. Single courses may be taken individually, if a certificate is not desired.

• Fees

  Courses are $350.00 each or if courses are paid in advance a fee of $1625.00 (a $125.00 discount).
