This course was revised in 1992. It is designed for teachers in Catholic schools; that they may have a basic understanding of the Church, its teaching and way of life to enable them to contribute to the maintenance of the ethos of the Catholic school. It is also for catechists in order to give them a basic understanding of the faith of the Catholic Church as a foundation for their catechetical ministry, and for adult members of the Church to enable them to continue to grow in understanding as they live their Catholic faith.
The Course is offered in all five Catholic Colleges of Higher Education and at centres in every diocese in England and Wales The course is offered part-time over two years, with 80 hours contact time and consists of six core modules in:
Old Testament
New Testament
Church
Christology
Sacraments
Morality
Two elective modules must also be chosen. Other modules of a practical nature for teachers, for catechists, for youth workers, for liturgists are available.
Full details of the course and contacts details for all the centres can be found in the Handbook: CCRS Handbook 2006
