Enrolment is still open for year 1 of the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies course, due to start at the end of September 2023.

This is a national qualification awarded by the Bishops Conference of England and Wales, and is key for the teaching of Religious Education in our Catholic primary and secondary schools, as well as for parish catechesis.

The course consists of eight modules, each with five sessions, and the entire course spans two years. All modules require online participation. The course takes place in the evening, outside of school hours, to make it more accessible.

Rev Dcn Paul Mannings, the CCRS Coordinator, says “We’ve still got some space on this year’s course so it’s the perfect opportunity to join and expand your knowledge. This is a fantastic, thriving course and you’ll be very welcome!”

Full details and a signup form can be found in the information booklet here. For more information, please get in touch with the CCRS Coordinator Dcn Paul Mannings at p.mannings@rcaol.org.uk,or the CCRS Administrator Mr Paul Crilly at p.crilly@rcaol.org.uk.
