Accreditation

Accreditation Training aims to equip Presbyterian SRE Teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to be able to teach the word of God to children and young people in schools. This includes understanding their responsibilities, how to engage with the Bible and practical aspects of teaching and learning.

Accreditation Training is designed to be practical and easy-to-use for everyone, at their own pace, wherever they are. Training is provided as a series of audio recordings; not lectures, but rather discussions over coffee between a group of people with experience and expertise in their area. The discussions can be downloaded to MP3 or listened to on a CD, around the house, in the car, on the train. Accreditation Training will encourage SRE Teachers wherever they are by giving them accessible, flexible, interesting and useful discussions that encourage them as they serve in the classroom.

Cost

The training material will be provided to SRE teachers within the Presbyterian Church free of charge. In order to cover the associated administration costs, the Accreditation will cost $60 per teacher. We are encouraging local churches to pay for the accreditation of their SRE teachers.

For those outside the Presbyterian denomination, access to the training material will cost $60, as will the process of accreditation.
