Programs

The academic schedule is designed so that the training is not too intensive and enables everyone to participate - students with families, unmarried, working, studying at other educational institutions as well as involved in church ministry.

At the Latvian Biblical Centre, the programmes use a modular system – one course per month. This means that you can join a programme at any time throughout the school year. If you happen to miss some of the lectures, it is also possible to watch it on video, since all classes are filmed.

In case of bad epidemiological situation studies will happen via distance learning.
