Does STETS give practical training?
The short answer is, ‘Yes!’ The details are that, early on in the Course the Student is allotted a Training Minister. Eventually a Training Contract is drawn up, outlining the areas in which the particular student needs training, and agreeing the terms by which that training will be achieved. Also, each residential Weekend includes some opportunities for practical training, such as planning and leading various forms of worship. All students also engage in a three month placement in their second year, either in a church or a community project, both of which involve much practical engagement.
