Hide-The course begins with the short, free of charge 'Learning to Learn' module introducing students to distance learning then successful completion of the modules below qualifies a student for the level 7 diploma in theology. These modules are offered every year, two per semester. While each module covers a 15-week span, a person may decide to study two modules together to achieve the diploma in one year. However, a student may also decide to study one module at a time, thus making the diploma achievable in two years.
Accreditation
The Diploma in Theology is validated by Technological University Dublin and is aligned with the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ).
