Tailored for smaller or specialized settings, this accreditation recognizes Non-Institutional Training Centers for their commitment to quality pastoral training. While they might operate on a smaller scale, these centers are no less dedicated to meeting the essential standards of pastoral education. The accreditation process, from self-study to site visits, ensures that these centers maintain their dedication to excellence, transparency, and continuous improvement in training. Trainees can be assured of the program’s quality, and the center benefits from broader recognition and potential access to federal programs.
