NYC Full Gospel provides the means of gaining CEUs (Continuing Education Units) with our Seminary as recognition for ministry purposes. We accept our CEU education and will award ministry certificates up to diploma. The CEU program is designed for Christians who are not seeking academic college credit or a degree, yet want to achieve Christian recognition in their learning experience as qualified trained workers for the Lord in special fields of the vocation. The CEU program also allows our members to access ministry credentials with our organization as certified licensed and ordained ministers while gaining a knowledge of learning technics.
What is a Continuing Education Unit?
A Continuing Education Unit, or CEU Credit, is a nationally recognized unit of measurement - for participation in continuing education programs.
The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) as well as other national and international associations, defines a CEU as follows:
"CEU or one CEU is a term that defines ten (10) clock hours or Contact hours of learning and participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. The primary purpose of the CEU is to provide permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed one or more significant non credit educational experiences".
The CEU is a method used by many professional agencies (nursing, accounting, engineers, medical workers, social workers and others) to re-certify or license individuals. At NYC Full Gospel Theological Seminary, we use the CEU learning experiences - to train and equip Christians for the work of the Ministry, as well as, Certifying, Licensing and Ordaining men and women for the Lords work. We therefore call it the Christian Continued Education Unit (CCEU) to distinguish a Christian education experience.
