Certificate in Theology

What is the Certificate in Theology?

The St Albans Certificate in Theology (SACT) is a part-time academic theology course which allows students to explore the Christian faith. Students attend evening courses, undertake research, and complete essays or language exams to gain credit. Courses include:

  • Old Testament
  • New Testament
  • Christian Doctrine
  • Church History
  • Plus four other courses which vary in topic from term to term.

Students who complete the SACT can go on to the SACT+, which allows students to undertake more research and deepen their theological study. 

Certificate in Theology FAQs

I am thoroughly enjoying my SACT studies. Discussions are thoughtful and challenging, questions are encouraged, and there has been lots of support.   

Learning Support

We want our students to thrive and enjoy studying. This is why we offer support with study skills and essay-writing, a student handbook, and free library membership.

Sign Up Today

To sign up, simply book onto one of our SACT/SACT+ courses.

Information about completing an essay to receive credit for the course will be sent out to all students after the first few classes.

Email Caroline, our Adult Learning Officer, if you have any questions.
