This course is a stimulating induction programme for Chaplains across the UK. Our unique programme develops your reflective practice as you explore the key steps to become an excellent practitioner.
Why study this course?

If so, we invite you to register for our Chaplaincy Induction.
The course will:
- Develop a new Chaplain’s knowledge of their context and ability to analyse this.
- Develop a new Chaplain’s core skills and ability to deepen these.
- Develop a new Chaplain’s ability to fulfil the role and be able to access and create resources.
- Develop a new Chaplain’s engagement with the wider school/College Chaplaincy network.
Chaplains who have already been on the course have said:
The CCE induction course has been informative and thought provoking. It has opened my eyes to the broad nature of chaplaincy and the multitude of skills and attributes required, as well as to the challenges and opportunities of the role.
The CCE induction course gave me everything I needed to:
- develop my understanding about chaplaincy and chaplaincy models;
- help define my role within those frameworks;
- gain a better understanding of myself;
- develop ideas for my progression within this ministry.
What does the course cover?
The course is split into 3 sections.
The first section, Knowing your context, helps you determine, the role of you have, the skills you need, the community you serve within the framework of your context. You will begin to consider the model of chaplaincy that will work for you, your School / FE College and your Community.
The next section, Knowing what to do and where to find support, gets you to consider the resources and spaces you have, the resources you need and how to build upon these and realising you are not alone in this ministry.
The final section Knowing yourself, builds on developing your own self-awareness of your skills and your role, how to reflect, and how to continue to engage in your own self-development.
Alongside the Induction programme each participant will be offered a mentor. You can meet your mentor up to 3x one-hour meetings (or equivalent). This will be to facilitate discussions, answer any concerns about being a new Chaplain within a School/ FE College environment.
