Why study with C3 College

  • 1. Equip Your Interns Through Our Online Learning Platform

    C3 College’s online platform makes leadership development simple for local churches. Your interns and leaders can access all their training—videos, activities, and assessments—anytime, anywhere. The best part? Development stays in your local context, where discipleship is most effective and best lived out. You run the internship in-house, while we take care of enrolment, fees, grading, and progress tracking. Your people earn an accredited qualification, and the heart of training remains rooted in your church community.

  • 2. Flexible Study That Works With Your Church Calendar

    Our courses are designed to fit around your ministry schedule. Whether your interns study one subject per term or take on more, they can learn at a pace that suits your church’s rhythm. There’s no need to wait for a new year to begin—students can start in any term, including our Summer School intake. It’s leadership training that moves with your ministry.

  • 3. Personalised Support From an Online Tutor

    You don’t have to carry the students’ learning. Each student is supported by an Online Tutor who can answer questions about assignments or course content via email. This ensures your interns are not only receiving high-quality instruction but also personalised theological support—freeing you to focus on mentoring and ministry formation.

  • 4. High-Quality Video Teaching You Can Trust

    Our studio-produced video content is engaging, biblically sound, and delivered by experienced ministers and educators. It’s designed to captivate and equip adult learners, and is paired with digital learning activities that reinforce key concepts—so your interns aren’t just watching; they’re being formed for lasting impact in their calling. They can study in their own time—or better still, come together with other students to explore what they’re learning and apply it to your church context.

  • 5. Recognised, Accredited Ministry Training

    All of our courses are nationally accredited and Australian government-approved, giving you peace of mind that your leaders are receiving legitimate and excellent training. With C3 College Online, you can offer an internship or development pathway in your local church that is both spiritually formative and officially recognised.

  • 6. Ongoing Development With Lifetime Learning

    Leadership development doesn’t stop at graduation. When a student completes an accredited course with us, they receive access to one free short course every year—for life. It’s our way of continuing to invest in your leaders beyond formal study—nurturing their growth, deepening their understanding, and equipping them for long-term ministry effectiveness.

“We’ve got a lot of people that want to serve, help and come behind the scenes to be a part of something but actually doing the Internship gives them that level of accountability that they’re actually signing up for something that is accredited.”

Third Party Agreement

Unlock a tailored learning experience for your church community.

Are you a church or church leader passionate about empowering your members with accredited ministry training? The C3 College Online Third Party Agreement makes it easier than ever to guide your congregation through their learning journey—together.

  • When your church signs a Third Party Agreement with C3 College Online, you gain the opportunity to run a dedicated cohort of students through our courses—all while C3 College manages the enrolment, fees, learning, and assessment processes.

  • Your church can actively engage with your students’ study experience, helping them contextualise course content and build stronger community. You’ll also have access to C3 College marketing materials to promote courses and encourage participation within your congregation.

  • We encourage churches to nominate a representative who can communicate with C3 College on behalf of the whole group. This person can request cohort-wide assessment extensions (for example, when church events impact study schedules) and assist students in gathering Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) documentation.

  • No formal instruction is required from your church. However, we highly recommend that you organise regular cohort meetings—these are not assessed, but provide valuable opportunities for discussion, support, and practical application. These sessions strengthen both learning outcomes and community ties within your church.

  • C3 College handles all enrolments, fee payments, learning content, and assessments. Your church’s involvement focuses on supporting students and enhancing their sense of community, not on administration or academic delivery.

  • Yes! As a Third Party partner, your church is welcome to use C3 College’s marketing materials to promote courses, both within your congregation and to your wider community.
