Short courses at Cliff College

About our short courses

Cliff College offers a variety of Christian short courses, including on-site day, mid-week and weekend courses, week-long Certificate and Summer School courses, as well as off-site training on several of our Diploma courses. We have been developing a new section of short course online courses throughout the time of the pandemic - do check Cliff Online as we add new courses each month! These various short course opportunities are designed to train the whole people of God, and provide inspiration, retreat, reflection, new learning and personal development, as well as allow participants to explore other validated courses within the college.

Many of these short courses are delivered alongside our existing ministry partners, including Godly Play UK, Youth for Christ, Scripture Union, Bible Reading Fellowship, The Message Trust, Care for the Family, Place for Hope, Christian Vision for Men, Girls' Brigade Ministries and the Methodist Church. We also welcome our new partner UK Church Administrators Network.

The day events, weekends, 3-day midweek training and retreat courses are all open to anyone via a booking process. Cliff College Certificate & Diploma courses require an application, and the qualification is awarded for attendance and the submission of academic assessment that achieves the required pass mark.
