This is the reason why we allow learners to do their practical components in the area/s where they are involved in ministry.

Study groups of 3+ learners from the same organisation, team or congregation can be formed. Such a study group must have a clear common denominator that links learners together.

An example of a study group can be a congregation with a pastor, youth pastor and people in roles where they deal with children, the elderly, women and family matters.

The possible study groups can include community centres, crisis teams, a community forum, and youth development projects or mission teams.

The advantage of being a study group is working together and being able to encourage each other. The facilitators will be mindful of structuring practical work in a manner that links team members together around the study group’s common denominator.

If you want to initiate a study group you can consult with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. He is the study group facilitator.

The world of study has opened up to new social classes and communities that had limited prospects of expanding their knowledge and skills.

Kailo Training Institute uses a blended online learning strategy that consists of two parts. There is a part of the content that is delivered through interactive or face-2-face presentations with the copresents of the facilitators and learners. The other part is the online delivery of content and instruction where the learner is in control of the place, pace, path and time of learning. These two delivery strategies take advantage of asynchronous methods that include online discussions, assessment analysis, learner feedback and online or study group collaboration.

You can participate in Kailo Training Institutes from anywhere in the world!

No, you don’t have to be a pastor. However, pastors, co-pastors and youth pastors will benefit greatly from the training. The training is structured to also be applicable for multi-vocational pastors and ministers.

Kailo Training Institute focuses on Christian Pastoral Counselling training because we believe that the body of Christ has many parts and everyone has a purpose and a ministry.

Ministry means serving God’s people and reaching out to the unreachable to help them to become well and whole in God. People in faith communities and our neighbourhoods have important roles to play in caring for people who struggle with adversity.

Kailo Training Institute implements formative and summative assessments. This means you will be continuously assessed as you work through online modules. The continuous assessment gives learners a greater chance for optimal learning that leads to success.

The results of the learner’s work throughout the year will be compiled into a transcript for evaluation and will be supplemented by an exam or written assignment.

Postgraduate learners have to complete a  thesis.

As a part-time learner, it is sensible to invest 8 to 10 hours per week in your studies and additional reading. The facilitators recommend breaking these hours up into smaller chunks of an hour or two every day because that will allow free time.

Postgraduate learners will have to plan to spend 12 to 15 hours per week because completing the prescribed modules, as well as a dissertation or thesis requires a greater commitment.

We believe that every church, school and community organization have the potential to be an excellent opportunity for Christian Pastoral Counsellors.

Age is not an obstacle when it comes to learning.

Mature adults show great enthusiasm to learn new skills and they understand that every day is a gift. They have more life experience and are excited about new research and inventions. They are more committed and therefore want more than lips service from a training institution.

We designed our programmes to help adult learner redefine their expectations and future contributions to our societies. If you know that you have a God-given calling plus energy, intelligence and aspiration you will enjoy the journey.
