Training at a Distance
We believe in contact training but some students cannot get
to classes so we have developed a distance solution:
•
Students must stay in tutor-contact whilst learning.
•
A tutor must maintain close relationships to students.
• The e-solution provided on the web-site must be used to
allow the student to get the benefit of the extra material
(All students may make use of the e-learning material on the DVD)
Note: Since there are many Tuition Centres using our material,
we prefer that you do not try to enroll far-away students.

The Distance Tutor
1. Appoint a Distance Tutor who lives
near the student.
(The student may also help by finding one.)
2. Guide the Tutor to:
Calvary Academics © 2016
•
Spend time with the student for encouragement

Explain the material and our e-learning method
•
Disciple the student to form Christ-like character
24
Take Action

task of discipleship before you
• Ask for God’s wisdom
• Get leadership behind you
• Require leaders to be trained
Plan, order and start!
A Bible School is the solution
which brings restoration and
new life to every Church!
