FOCUS CERTIFICATE

(Non-accredited)

If you're a Christian needing some basic training in order to better fulfil your role in your local church, then the Mukhanyo Focus Certificate is for you.

This is a training programme in theology at roughly matriculation level with a strong church focus. It's designed to equip Christians for their role in the local church as pastors, elders, deacons, Sunday school teachers, church office workers or worship leaders.

Focus includes 30 elective modules in several useful subjects and skills (listed below). Each takes about 40 hours of learning and includes short assignments and an exam. It's presented by a Mukhanyo distance tutor or lecturer at a registered Mukhanyo learning centre.

The programme is available at our KwaMhlanga Campus or at selected Local Learning Sites.​
