Chaplains who have already been on the course have said:
The CCE induction course has been informative and thought provoking. It has opened my eyes to the broad nature of chaplaincy and the multitude of skills and attributes required, as well as to the challenges and opportunities of the role.
The CCE induction course gave me everything I needed to:
develop my understanding about chaplaincy and chaplaincy models;
help define my role within those frameworks;
gain a better understanding of myself;
develop ideas for my progression within this ministry.
This innovative programme offers an opportunity to experienced practitioners to explore this aspect of the ministry of Chaplaincy in Schools & Colleges. It will be delivered through a mix of face to face (on-line) sessions and personal study resources, this course is intended for those viewed as advanced practitioners, experienced in chaplaincy in a school or college context as a form of CPD.
