Frequently
Asked Questions

How does it work?

 You receive interactive course materials which you work through on your own. You also attend a local study group to discuss what you are studying. These are led by a trained facilitator, and give you a chance to share your ideas and discoveries, learn from other people’s, and have the support of other Christians. You can expect to gain increased confidence in understanding and interpreting the Bible and the ability to assess and evaluate different opinions. Read More [link to How it Works page]

Will it be too hard – or too easy? 

The course units are designed to help you learn, whatever your academic level. Many who do not consider themselves ‘good at learning’ are surprised at their abilities. Our Level 1 and 2 courses are aimed at just such people. Our Level 3 courses also aim to be accessible but also enable people with advanced qualifications to be stretched and challenged in their thinking. Our Level 3 courses recognise that the Bible raises hard questions and we try not to duck them. The course units will stimulate you to understand various viewpoints. They encourage you to interact with the text of the Bible itself, to think through issues from a sound basis of biblical understanding and to come to your own conclusions, convictions and plans for action.

Workload

Each course is carefully designed to help you structure your studies. The personal study is designed to enable you to go at your own pace. In your group, you will decide how much you should study before each group. You will need to set aside regular time each week for your studies. The amount of time varies according to the course and the level, but we estimate that you will need to set aside at least about ¾ hr per lesson.
