schedule
The next course for those living across Southwark Diocese will start in September 2025 and we will be using a mixture of online and offline learning. The training sessions will run on 8 Monday evenings (from 7:45-9:45pm) on Zoom, and on 3 Saturdays (10am-4:00pm) at Trinity House in London throughout the year. The dates for the next course are displayed on the right (or below on smaller devices).
There will also be a Digital Learning Environment (DLE) for students to access throughout the course. This will include links to assignment details, training session notes, online documents, journals, articles and videos. There will also be online forums for students to take part in, as well as the opportunity to upload their completed work through the website.
Each student will be expected to have the full support of their local church, and a member of their church should act as their line manager / supervisor, whose role is:
- To line manage the student effectively
- To provide encouragement, practical support and pastoral support as necessary
- To undertake one observation (if groups are able to meet)
- To ensure that the student has relevant experiences and opportunities to complete the course.
At the end of the course, students working towards becoming a commissioned CYF minister and a Certificate from Sheffield Diocese will have submitted six written assignments and those working for the lower level Aurora Certificate will have produced a portfolio of learning.
