Certificate in Christian Studies
Interested in study but just want to dip your toe in and try four courses first?

It replaces the previous (non-NZQA approved) CCS.
it is ideally suited to those who may be working within church or ministry settings and who also want to study part-time. Likewise, it is a good starting point for those without previous theological study who may want to continue on to further studies.
You can then staircase on to a Diploma or Bachelor’s degree.
* This programme will be offered in 2019 subject to NZQA Approval
