“I really liked putting into practice what we were learning in our practical hours. I also liked that our trainers/facilitators/educators could all give examples through their own chaplaincy experiences to illustrate what we were being taught. It was good to be made to self-reflect. It’s an exercise I would usually avoid, but is beneficial – and of course necessary – for the role of a chaplain or pastoral carer. I felt part of a family within our cohort.”

“Completing the Diploma has enabled me to have more confidence working in this field and developing programs to be effective and of a high standard.
