Questions

Based on the Briercrest Leadership Certification that interests you, the Coordinator for the Leadership Centre will work to provide students with information and recommendations on appropriate options for external certified training. Students are also encouraged to look into  options that are of particular interest to them.

With Briercrest Leadership Certifications, students have the flexibility to choose an external organization that offers certification within their area of focus. There are countless organizations that offer certified training in anything from executive coaching to policy governance.

For example: If you would like to increase your expertise in team leadership, you could choose Myers-Briggs (MBTI) Certified or STRONG Certified by Psychomentrics Canada in order to be able to professionally use and administer these assessment tools.

Following your certified training through Psychomentrics Canada, Briercrest Seminary will work with you to create additional personalized curriculum to ensure the Psychometrics certificate meets graduate-level course standards.  

This certified training can then be paired with four other course requirements from Briercrest Seminary to make a Leadership Certification in Team Leadership.

All certified training received from another organization will be individually evaluated in terms of content, hours of training, and participant requirements. The Coordinator for the Leadership Centre and Coordinator for the MALM program will work with each individual student to create additional course work surrounding the external training. This may include additional reading material related to the topic of training, and an additional paper, and a presentation of the external certified training experience. This personalized curriculum is then approved by the Dean of the Seminary.

There is no particular order that the external certified training and Briercrest Seminary classes are required to be taken in for any particular Leadership Certification. The Coordinator for the Leadership Centre will work with each student to organize and schedule the needed classes. The external certified training can be taken at any time.

Briercrest Seminary classes are offered in a continuous 2-year rotation. The length of any certification depends on the certification and the required classes. Each 15 credit hour Leadership Certification could 1.5 to 2 years to complete. The Coordinator for the Leadership Centre will work with each student to organize and schedule the needed classes.

Briercrest Seminary offers a unique modular format of education that attracts students from around the world. Most classes concentrate the classroom component into one-week, all-day classes in which students complete pre-and post-course work.

 The Leadership Certifications are made up of four Seminary classes at the regular price and one personalized course created around the external certified training at half the regular price. 

For the 2020-2021 school year, Briercrest Seminary has set class fees at: $407/credit or $1221 for a 3 credit hour course.

$1221 x 4 regular seminary classes + $610.50 x 1 personalized course = $5494.50
