Chaplain Training Programme
We have been training Chaplains since 1996
Since 1997 we have been refining our training programme to ensure that it is current, and up to date with latest developments. We have over the years successfully trained well over Seven Hundred (700) Chaplains.
Our Chaplain courses are for in-house Chaplaincy use within the ESC(SA). We are not yet SAQA Accredited, however this is currently being explored.
Our Curriculum embodies everything that is required, to make you a Competent, Skilled and Professional Chaplain, so that you can be of service to the thousands of First Responders that attend to Emergencies every day.
Our services have been extended to include ALL First Responders, whether it's Fire, Paramedical, Police, Metro Police, Towing Services etc.
