Further training

While your time of initial ministerial training will be intense, it is not possible for it to equip you for everything ministry will require. A commitment to continuing your own development will build on the training provided in the early years. Ascend is our platform to identify ongoing training opportunities, support and development. Church of Scotland Learning will offer a growing selection of training opportunities.
