Through a collaborative agreement with the South African
Theological Seminary (SATS), Village Schools of the Bible (VSB) students can
receive, from SATS, recognition of prior learning for VSB courses. This means
that VSB students can seamlessly continue their studies, at seminary level,
towards any of the following:
● Doctor
of Philosophy in Theology
● Master
of Theology
● Bachelor
of Theology Honours
● Bachelor
of Theology
● Higher
Certificate in Christian Life
● Higher Certificate in
Christian Counselling
All courses
are taught online by SATS. Village Schools of the Bible makes facilities and
study resources available for study and for exams. In addition, VSB provides
mentors with post-graduate qualifications who are available to meet regularly
with students either one-on-one or in a group setting, to provide support,
serve as accountability, prayer and discussion partners, and help ensure
contextualized application.
SATS
conforms with rigorous education standards and serves students from around the
world. SATS programs are accredited by the South African Council on Higher
Education (CHE), and registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF)
by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). This includes registration
with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). SATS
programs have been evaluated and recognized in the USA, Europe, South America
and Canada. SATS is a member of the International Council for Evangelical
Theological Education, the International Council for Higher Education, the CHEA
International Quality Group, and the World Evangelical Theological Institute
Association, a global network of evangelical theological colleges and
seminaries. So credits earned with SATS are truly “portable” and can be
transferred to other accredited, registered institutions.
It is the
strong, biblically-based approach that attracts students to study at SATS, and
makes the SATS / VSB partnership a perfect fit. Both SATS and VSB believe in
partnering with like-minded ministries, churches, institutions, and
organizations for Kingdom purposes. For further information contact Trish@VillageSchoolsOfTheBible.org, or call +1.952.540.9460.
