message from ceo

Welcome to Excel Theological Training Academy!

We want to equip pastors for their ministry in the local church through an accredited program in order to adhere to the commission of Jesus and to establishment the church on the foundation of Christ. I know that your participation in our training program will be one of the most transforming experiences of your journey. Our programs are specifically designed to train you to become an efficient, effective and skilful pastor in ministry. I want to encourage you to put your heart, mind and body into this training. When you don’t invest significantly you will not finish what have you started. It’s like the story of a small boy that throws his hat over a very high wall. His friend shocked because of this irresponsible act asked: Why did you do this? His answer was: Now I have to get over the wall to retrieve my hat! Throw your heart into this training and your life will follow with the result of receiving your qualification and at the end to become an effective minister of the Gospel of Christ! – Dr Ernrich Basson

How to Start a learning Point?

Our mission is to deliver the highest quality training to Church leaders throughout South Africa. We believe that the teaching of sound knowledge, ethical and moral values will contribute significantly to the sustainability of society. Excel Theological Training Academy exists to train leaders with applicable academic knowledge and practical leadership skills. We are a formal training institution that is registered as a private company in South Africa (Reg: 2020/654216/07.) The Training Academy will provide skill orientated qualifications to students through training in classrooms and online. The team at Excel Academy comprises of well-diversified and educated staff with many years of accumulated knowledge, experience and with a very good administrative and financial infrastructure. We offer distance learning programs and training through learning centres.

When you have enough students, we can also serve you by registering as an extension of scope your training premises. but we train and approve to ensure good quality and standards. We have established a well-managed administrative system that forms the backbone of the training centre. Our excellent Learner Management System assists us in our critical operations with online capabilities. To ensure quality control, all assessments are marked at Excel’s Academy offices. All learners will receive their QCTO certificates after the successful completion of the learning programs and the external exams.
