    Course Offerings

    Because the military or defense force of each nation differs, and the availability of members to attend training differs, IAEC adapts training to meet the needs of the requesting military.

    Phase One of the Basic Chaplaincy Course consists of anywhere from forty to sixty hours of classroom training.

    Phase Two is a practicum phase in which students are required to conduct ministry, under supervision, in accordance with concepts they learned in the classroom.

    The Advance Course includes classes preparing ministry leaders for position of supervision.

    When possible, there are also special sessions for students’ wives who are able to attend.

    IAEC also provides a three-day course focusing on Hospital Chaplaincy and is currently developing a training module to help chaplains minister to marriage and family concerns.
