Additionally, a church-designed course can satisfy one elective credit when pre-approved by ETA. This course can be the unique history, mission, emphasis, or doctrine of your local church.

Can I transfer my credits to another church or school?
All awards are handled through our central office so your ETA credits will transfer to other organizations that utilize the ETA Certificate Program.  If you are seeking to further your studies at a higher education institution, you will need to contact them directly to check on their policy for transferring credit.

How much does it cost?
The ETA Certificate Program is the most cost effective way to provide a quality training program for your teachers and leaders.  The cost to the student for textbooks (four courses) and a certificate is about $60 for each certificate level.
