Studying online at Ridley London
Study at Ridley London is provided online to support our core aim of providing accessible, in-depth and comprehensive training in Theology, Ministry and Mission for all God’s people.
Who this course is aimed at
Ridley London has a specific focus on training volunteers, apprentices and others working with children and young people in urban church and faith-based settings.
Applied in its approach and design, training with Ridley London will enable you to consolidate your existing experiences and to grow as a mature, wise and faithful disciple of Christ.
The study format
The training takes place via a mixture of online asynchronous tasks (set tasks undertaken during the week as best fits your existing commitments) and online zoom classrooms.
The zoom classroom sessions are delivered between 6pm and 7.45pm on a Monday evening during term time. The course is suitable for people with a range of academic experience.
Alongside the online training you will have the opportunity to meet with an experienced tutor once a month, who will support you to get the most out of your training.

More about the Foundation Award
The Foundation Award provides an opportunity for you to study theology online and explore its application to your ministry.
Delivered across three modules, the typical commitment is one module per term, making it the most accessible course we offer in terms of time commitment and flexibility of study.
The Foundation Award enables experienced practitioners to go deeper in their theological grounding, and those new to ministry to experience theological and ministerial study for the first time in an accessible and supportive environment.
Please note: it is possible to progress from the Foundation Award and complete the Certificate in Higher Education in the following year. - More about the Cert HE

More about the Cert HE
Whether you are a volunteer in full-time employment, a full-time parent, or starting out in full-time ministry, the Cert HE will provide the theological and ministerial foundation you need to grow in your calling.
Students undertaking the Cert HE typically work with children and young people in some capacity and undertake study in children's and family ministry, youth ministry, pastoral ministry, discipleship (reflective practice), old testament, new testament and Christian history and doctrine.
For those who aren’t don’t wish to focus on youth, children's and family ministry, there is an option to undertake an independent learning project in an area of your choice.
Find out more about studying with Ridley London at our next online open evening.
