ACOM / Professional Development

Professional Development

At ACOM we have a vision to see local churches and ministry leaders thrive and positively impact the communities they are a part of. One of the ways we do this is through offering a diverse range of professional development opportunities.

Auditing Units

Interested in learning but short on time? Auditing units can be a great way to boost your professional knowledge and skills without committing to an academic unit with assignments. 

Many ACOM units have the option to audit (access) the online study materials, and/or to attend the facilitations (both partial and full attendance). This gives both students and visitors the flexibility to learn more in an area of interest, either as an unaccredited experience, or to hold for future credit.

There are two types of audit experience: 

  • Standard Audit: Available to students and guests who are looking to learn about different topics without academic credit.
  • Audit for Future Credit: Limited to students currently enrolled in an ACOM course.

Open Access Studies

Not everybody is wanting accredited study. If you’d like to improve your biblical knowledge, we have four open access study units available to you. These are a great resource to study within a local church group or as an individual student at your own pace.

  • Introduction to Spiritual Formation
  • Introduction to the Old Testament
  • Introduction to the New Testament
  • Introduction to Christian Doctrines

We have a rich history of equipping the church for greater ministry and mission impact. Our expanding range of open access courses are provided free of charge and are ideal for local church study groups or individuals seeking to go a little deeper.
