Recognition of demonstrated learning
Competency-Based Ministry Assessment
Your theological understanding and the competencies developed through years of ministry are assessed against the published degree outcomes. This recognizes learning already demonstrated in service, prior education, and continuing study.
The knowledge component draws 30 questions from the pathway's 70-question bank, with 60 minutes available. You may submit when ready.
Ministry experience, weighted
Your service is part of the result.
The paper is not read on its own. Your documented years of pastoral, missionary, teaching, chaplaincy, worship, counselling, or lay service are assessed alongside it and weighted into one final result.
