STEP INTO YOUR CALLING

God called you for a reason.

We'll help you walk in it.

Across Africa, God is raising up a generation of pastors, prophets, chaplains and counsellors. But too many called men and women never step into their assignment — because no one trained them.

Immanuel exists to change that. For 15 years we’ve equipped marginalised leaders with accredited, Christ-centred theology — so the call on your life becomes the qualification on your wall, and the ministry in your hands.

Your calling is not a question. The only question is: when will you start?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers before you enrol

Is Immanuel accredited? Will my qualification be recognised?

Yes. Immanuel Theology Educational Institute International is a fully accredited institution offering recognised qualifications across NQF Levels 4–10. Your certificate, diploma or degree carries credibility across South Africa and internationally.

I haven't finished matric — can I still study?

Yes. We have entry pathways from Grade 9 upwards, and our RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) process can credit you for ministry experience. Talk to an advisor and we’ll guide you to the right starting level.

How much do the programs cost? Are payment plans available?

Diploma programs start from R 700/month and degree programs from R 800/month. Flexible monthly payment plans are available so you can study without financial strain. Whatsapp us for full pricing.

Can I study online from outside South Africa?

Absolutely. With 50+ campuses worldwide and a full online learning platform, you can study from anywhere — at your own pace, while you continue ministering and working.

How does RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) work?

If you’ve been serving in ministry for years, RPL allows us to formally credit your experience toward an accredited qualification — so you don’t have to start from scratch. You’ll complete an assessment with a mentor.

How long does each program take?

Diplomas take 3 years. Bachelor’s degrees takes 1 year. Master’s, Doctoral and PhD programs take also 1 year depending on the path. Most students study part-time alongside ministry.
