School of Christian Counselling
3.2 Jubilee Training Institute's most popular course has been the Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care. Some people struggle with the self-discipline required with a longer Distance-learning course. To assist students with this, Jubilee Training Institute can now offer two paths to complete this Diploma. (This would also prepare students for the Post Graduate Diploma course - more about that shortly.)You may either do the Diploma directly as one larger course; or you may choose from the five Certificates listed, completing them in any order and have time-out between them if required. These Certificates are all constituent parts of the Diploma. On successful completion of all five Certificates, your Diploma will be awarded to you automatically. Students may also opt to complete one or more certificate, if they choose.

11.6 Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care (DCC01)
Course length: 30 months approx.There are 92 assignments. The goal is four each month, with a minimum of three expected each month. This course must be completed within 36 months of commencement.
11.7 Referees:
Each student doing the Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care must supply the name and contact details of three Referees who are not family members/whanau, and who have known them for a minimum of twelve months. One of the Referees must be part of the student's spiritual accountability network, such as their pastor, elder, minister, vicar, priest etc. A confidential form will be sent to every referee for completion and return prior to a student commencing their course. Referees may be advised of a student's progress in the unlikely event of major difficulty or marked unsuitability for an active role in the counselling ministry by the student.
11.8 Supervisors:
Students doing the Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care (or any of the five constituent certificates which go into this) will require to enlist the services of a competent and qualified Supervisor. This should be a professional counsellor, social worker, or similar. If locating a qualified Supervisor proves difficult due to geographic isolation, ask your own church leaders or Jubilee Training Institute for suggestions of a suitable person in your locality. If all else fails and the student is unable to find a supervisor after the above attempts, a trained pastor may fill this role, provided he/she has graduated from a registered Bible College with a minimum of two years full-time study equivalent, subject to Jubilee Training Institute Board approval.
The Supervisor should meet with the student prior to commencing any counselling/ministry. The main purposes will be to establish guidelines, the student's limitations, what to do in emergencies, etc. The Supervisor will be required to sign a Statement of Agreement to provide competent oversight to the student, and will be required to advise Jubilee Training Institute of any major problems and/or lack of suitability of the student to do ministry/counselling. If the Supervisor charges a fee for this supervisory work, (which they may be entitled to do) any costs incurred are the student's responsibility.
11.9 Courses Subjects:
There are three main components to the Diploma in Christian Counselling & Pastoral Care course. The main components are based on a set of manuals for which both written and practical assignments are required. Students will find these manuals very stimulating and they will also enhance their understanding of these issues from a Biblical Christian viewpoint. Secondly there are text books for which written assignments are required. Thirdly there are practical exercises which will enhance the student's ability to deal with ministry/counselling issues. The Practical assignments for the Diploma course is approximately 35% of the total course, because we believe courses such as these require a large practical element if they are to be useful to the student once they have graduated.
The main manuals included in the syllabus are "Counselling Insights - a Biblical Perspective on caring for People" (Volumes 1, & 2) by Dr. Chuck Swindoll & his team at Insights for Living. These two manuals are included in the course fees, along with the course assignments manual. On completion of the course all manuals remain the property of the student as a reference tool.
Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care students will also be given the "Quick Scripture Reference for Counselling - by John G. Kruis. This worthwhile book is also complementary.
The Manuals topics are listed under each of the Five Cerificates, and for space reasons we won't repeat that information here.
11.10 Text Books Required:
Text books will be required reading, with assignments and book reviews to be completed. These text books will also become an ongoing resource to students, including when in counselling practise.While manuals are included in the course fees, text books are not. Some students may already own their own copy, while others may be able to borrow one from a friend or church library.
N.B. Most of the following books should be available through Jubilee Resources in New Zealand r your local Christian bookstore. When a student is sent their manuals to commence their studies, a complete price list of text books will be enclosed, along with the option of purchasing from Jubilee Resources in New Zealand. (Some students may have access to some of these titles through family or church.) If a student requires to purchase any of these books for their course, there will be a 15% discount off the normal retail price for purchases through Jubilee Resources in New Zealand. This has been possible because of bulk ordering.
11.11 Other Assignments
The third area for the Diploma in Christian Counselling & Pastoral Care course consists mostly of practical and research assignments. The practical elements total around 35% of the total time spent on this course. We believe people learn best by doing, not just studying from a book. Students will find these assignments both challenging and rewarding. The instructions on these assignments will be sent to you once your Enrolment and registration are completed, so you may commence work immediately on your course.
All assignments for the Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care (or the five constinuent Certificates), following marking, also will undergo Moderation. This involves a set percentage of all assignments being double-checked by a competent senior Counsellor/tutor. This ensures equality of marking by all JTI Tutors/markers.
11.12 Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Counselling (PGD06)
(To qualify to study for this, a student must have completed all the other 5 certificates, been granted their Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care and are now applying for the Bachelor's Degree in Christian Counselling. This will be facilitated by JTI, with the degree being granted by Destiny Christian University, a fully-accredited institution, registered in the State of Florida.)PGD01 Social Agencies Review.

The Assignments will be much lighter, and the face-to-face counselling/ministry will only be approx. 30 hours, with supervision from the student's pastor or a suitable and acceptable alternative, preferably nominated by your pastor. If neither are available or suitable, you will need to seek supervision from someone who is spiritually mature and who has held a position of Christian leadership for at least two years.
