About the Programme

The Testament Institute of Christian Studies (TICS), the professional and continuing education arm of Testament Theological Seminary (TTS), offers intensive three-month certificate programmes designed to equip believers, church leaders, ministry workers, and Christian professionals with biblically grounded knowledge and practical competencies for effective Christian service and leadership.

Our programmes integrate sound biblical scholarship, theological reflection, and practical application to address contemporary challenges facing the Church, the family, and society. Through expert instruction, interactive learning, and real-world engagement, participants develop the knowledge, skills, and character needed to serve faithfully and lead with excellence in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities.

Current certificate programmes include Biblical Research, Christian Counselling, Family Resource Management, and Kingdom Theology, with additional programmes to be introduced as the Institute expands its educational offerings. Whether for personal enrichment, ministry development, or professional growth, TICS provides a transformative learning experience that equips participants to advance God’s Kingdom with biblical conviction, practical wisdom, and Christ-centred leadership.
