York School of Ministry Short Taster Course

York School of Ministry Short Taster Course

starts 26 August!

We are keen at York School of Ministry to make our courses accessible to all and as part of this vision we are offering a free online course to build confidence in those considering studying as part of their discipleship or vocational journeys. 

This 3 week course explores a different gospel each week and helps students to develop their study skills including effective note-taking, learning how to summarise their reading and writing down their own ideas using evidence to back these up.
