Vision Christian College

The Recognized Program is a study program that is built around a credit-point system.

The principal method of earning credit points  through the successful completion of a subject.  Each subject has the same credit value of 3 points.

Their are several advantages to this program method, not the least of which is the advantage of a flexible study options, we can allow the student to self select their subject rather than working to a fixed curriculum.  As subjects are completed credit points accumulate towards an award.

Vision International College is the Accredited version of Vision Christian College.

Vision International College is a Registered Training Organisation accredited by VETAB.  All of the the courses we offer are accredited by VETAB

These are Vocational Studies and are ideal for those who seek formal training to enter the ministry in some capacity, as a pastor, missionary, teacher or other role in the church or para-church setting.

The Recognized program was established in 1974 and has continued until this present time and will continue as long as it is required.

This program is Recognized, that is to say that while we have chosen not to submit the program to any formal Accrediting Body rather we have left recognition to the church at large. 

That is to say that Churches, denominations, mission groups, para-church groups have seen our material and examined the fruit of our work, the graduates,  and they have collectively and individually approved of Vision. 

They do so by accepting our students and graduates, by using our material in their own training program.

Generally speaking there are three award categories that can be applied to the various types of study courses that are available in any field of study.  These options are broadly accepted standards around the world.

Vision Christian College offers two of the three options, they are Accredited and Recognized awards.  The other option "not Recognised" is not offered by Vision as they have no academic value whatsoever.
