Students require credits for the two pre-foundation courses, Life

book 1 of the Compendium of Pastoral Theology from the foundation courses.
This certificate, An Introduction to Biblical Study, is designed for students who might find enrolling in the Basic Diploma in Pastoral Theology too intimidating. However, for many it will lead on naturally to the Basic Diploma in Pastoral Theology and the other five books of the Compendium of Pastoral Theology, as they will already have completed book 1.
a. Basic Diploma. Students require six credits, one for each of the books of The Compendium of Pastoral Theology (foundation course).
b. Intermediate Diploma. Students already holding the Basic Diploma in Pastoral Theology require credits for each of the two foundation courses, The Life and Letters of Paul, and The Pentateuch, plus any one special training course.
c. Advanced Diploma. Students already holding the Basic Diploma in Pastoral Theology and Intermediate Diploma in Pastoral Theology, require two further credits - one for the foundation course, Jeremiah - Prophet of Hope, and one for a further special training course.
It is recommended that each local SEAN centre:
a. Has a Supervisor with the time and ability to organise the
centre, supported if possible by a secretary and treasurer, who would then form
a local committee to take charge of building up the centre.
b. Has a filing system in which all student and study group records are entered
and stored.
c. Has a suitable leader for each group of students; the best number of students
per group being 5 to 10.
d. Has the means to finance the purchase of SEAN Study Books and other publications,
through students' fees and other sources.
e. Issues a credit to every student successfully completing a SEAN Study Book.
f. Ensures that the corresponding credits are sent to SEAN International (UK),
for each student qualifying for a certificate or diploma.
