The current course has proven very popular and we have a large cohort.  We are therefore planning for a smaller intake in September 2026 (applications must be made before the end of May 2026). We encourage you to book for the whole course rather than individual modules.  The course currently takes place in various venues plus an online group.  We may look at other venues if there is demand from a particular area, contact Alan if you think you might be looking to host a group

From 2026 the fees have increased to:

• £800 - Full course - Standard rate (£400 per year)
• £1400 - Full course - Recognised Local Minister (RLM) rate (£700 per year) for those pursuing Recognised Local Minister status, you will also need to agree this with your Baptist Association Regional Minister.

• £3200 - Church discount rate - buy 4 get 1 free (i.e. five standard rate places).
