“Throw your heart into this training and your life will follow.”
We want to equip pastors for ministry in the local church through an accredited programme, so that we fulfil the commission of Jesus and establish the church on the foundation of Christ. I know your participation will be one of the most transforming experiences of your journey.
Our programmes are designed to train you to become an efficient, effective and skilful pastor in ministry. I encourage you to put your heart, mind and body into this training. When you don’t invest significantly, you will not finish what you started.
It’s like the story of a small boy who throws his hat over a very high wall. His friend, shocked, asks: “Why did you do that?” He answers: “Now I have to get over the wall to fetch my hat!” Throw your heart into this training and your life will follow, until you receive your qualification and become an effective minister of the Gospel of Christ.
Dr Ernrich Basson, Chief Executive Officer
Keep leading your congregation while you train. Theory happens online, practice happens in your own ministry.
Complete the theoretical modules on our Learner Management System, with live virtual classes on Zoom.
Practical and workplace modules happen in real ministry, at a learning point under qualified facilitators.
All assessments are marked at ETTA’s offices. After the external exam, you receive your QCTO certificate.
Start a learning point in your local church or ministry. Your students complete their practical and workplace modules where they serve, and we handle the accreditation.
Sign a Memorandum of Agreement with ETTA.
