Tilsley College offers three full-time residential programmes: a one-year Certificate of Higher Education, a two-year Diploma of Higher Education and a three-year European Baccalaureate.
The college is accredited by the British Accreditation Council and all three full-time programmes are accredited by the European Council for Theological Education.
This one-year residential programme combines biblical and theological studies with practical ministry experience through weekly placements, two separate weeks of Team Evangelism and a longer Field Placement.
This is a two-year full-time programme where the first year is the same as the Certificate course. The second year is a mixture of time spent in ministry apprenticeship with a local church or mission organisation and intensive, residential teaching weeks.
This third year builds on the foundation of the Diploma and is also a mixture of college-based learning and a church or mission placement. The EuroBac provides an education equivalent to degree level.
The various placements in all three years are organised with the student to give a meaningful ministry experience with, at its core, a mentoring relationship with current Christian practitioners.
