Introduction to Course Information
There are three courses presently available.3.1 Jubilee Training Institute has two schools presently operating. Firstly is the School of Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care, and secondly is the School of Biblical Studies.
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.
3.3 Certificates (These form the Diploma when all five Certificates are completed)
Certificate in Bible-Centred Counselling (CB01) 224 hours, with 14 assignments.
Certificate in Marriage, Family & Parenting Counselling (CM02) 243.25 hours with 28 assignments.
Certificate in Emotional Wholeness Counselling (CE03) 250.75 hours with 18 assignments.
Certificate in Identity & Change Counselling (CI04) 247.75 hours, with 17 assignments.
Certificate in Disorders, Addictions & Cult Counselling (CD05) 242.5 hours, with 15 assignments.
With each course the goal is to complete and return for marking four assignments each month, with a minimum of three assignments expected each month, except January. These certificates should each be completed within 12 months of commencement.
3.4 Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care (DCC01)
Course length: 30 months approx. (1200 hours)
There are 92 assignments.
The goal is four each month, with a minimum of three expected each month. This course should be completed within 36 months of commencement.
3.5 Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Counselling (PGD06)
Course length: 6 months approx.
There are 5 specialist ssignments. On successful completion of your Diploma in Christian Counselling and Pastoral Care, graduates may then apply for the Post Graduate Diploma in Christian Counselling. On final completion of both Diplomas, a Bachelor's Degree in Christian Counselling will then be granted by our Accredited Articulation Agreement with Destiny Christian University.
3.6 Certificate in People Caring Skills (CPC07)
Course length: 10 months approx. (400 hours)
There are 59 assignments. The goal is six each month, with a minimum of four expected each month. This course should be completed within 18 months of commencement. This is an abbreviated form of the Diploma course, covering at a lower level the full range of topics. It is especially designed for House/Home/Cell group leaders, to upskill them in a wide range of subjects.
School of Biblical Studies

Course length: 10 months approx.
There are 47 assignments. The goal is five each month, with a minimum of three expected each month. This course should be completed within 18 months of commencement.

Assignments will usually involve two test papers for each subject, for which there are deadlines. Year One's twelve subjects must be completed prior to commencing Year Two, and the same with Year Three. Through cross-crediting, this course could be a stepping stone to degree courses, but this is yet to be finalised at time of print. This course should be completed within 36 months of commencement.
