UPCI Ministry Credentialing Courses

Yes, many people have taken the Ministry Central training to help them in their Christian understanding. Some pastors are requesting their church leaders to take this training. Results and a certificate will be provided at the end of each level of training for your records.

Each licensing courses must be purchased separately. You will be directed to a shopping cart to purchase access to individual courses or bundles of courses. You can pay by credit card or bank account using the PayPal portal.
Does Ministry Central make the determination whether I receive my license or not?
No, Ministry Central only provides the training. Your UPCI District Board will make the determination. Note: some UPCI Districts have additional requirements to Ministry Central training.
Do I automatically receive license if I successfully complete a licensing course?
No, completion of a Ministry Central licensing or ordination course does not automatically qualify for license. Ministry Central ministry credentialing courses are required by the UPCI, but your UPCI District Board will make the determination.
What does it take to complete a course?
First you will download a copy of the provided eBook. Read this at your pace and convenience. Most of the video courses were recorded with the assumption that the book has been read. Once you have completed the book, mark as complete in the progress box (located to the right of the eBook). Then begin watching or listening to the sessions. Each session is approximately twenty minutes long. After you complete each session, check the progress box and the next session will open for you. Once you’ve completed the eBook and the teaching sessions, the test will become available to you. A passing grade is 70. You get multiple opportunities to improve your grade if you are not satisfied with the first score. IMPORTANT!!! If you fail the assessment four times, we then will need to reset your attempts. Please reach out to us letting us know you have reached the limit of taking the assessment for the course. You DO NOT need to purchase the course again.
Do I have to complete each session (video & test) within the level of credentialing to receive a certificate of completion?
Yes. The learning platform tracks your progress and will not allow a certificate of completion unless you finish the course successfully.
What do I receive upon successful completion of a licensing course?
Upon successful completion of each course, you may save or print a certificate of completion that can be used to validate your work. You must print and provide a transcript of your grades to your UPCI District Board before meeting them.
How do I get the transcript of my grades?
Certificates of Completion are available if your test score is 70% or above. The transcripts are available on each credentialing level's "UPCI Vision: Introduction" course after completing all the required courses.
