During one week in February, or on one weekend for three consecutive months, a certified biblical counseling trainer who is actively counseling others in a local church setting will guide the learners through the lectures. During that time, you can interact with the instructor online and participate in real-time Q&A sessions.

If you choose to register for an instructor-guided online conference, you will receive electronic versions of all notes and handouts, the opportunity to purchase a hard copy of the notebook at an additional cost, plus 30-day virtual access to all lectures for review at your convenience.

To begin your biblical counseling journey, you can take any of our seven tracks in a self-guided virtual format on-demand at any time you wish. Some of the tracks are available in both English and Spanish.

The Online Courses training option gives you 30-day virtual access to all recorded lectures and electronic copies of all available notes and handouts. Please note that rentals are for a single user only (you) and are not to be shared with others. "Watch parties" are permissible, however, if all of the attendees have rented the course.

There are three different categories of training available through this option:

  • Counseling Observation Videos led by seasoned biblical counselors
