The Basic Training Course in Reformed Biblical Counseling

applications are now closed

now offering a hybrid model of the counseling class!

students watch MOST lectures at home / class meets once per month FOR GROUP VIEWING AND DISCUSSION

In years past, students committed to meeting weekly to watch pre-recorded lectures and counseling observations together for the length of the course (eight months). In the new hybrid model, students watch counseling lectures and observations primarily in the comfort of their own homes, and only meet once per month to watch one lecture or observation video and discuss pertinent counseling-related topics with their classmates. We hope that this new model allows more people to take the course and receive the training needed to minister to others in the light of God's truth from a reformed perspective. 


Please note that internet access and a computer or tablet are required to take this course. A phone will also work but is not recommended due to screen size.
