• "Through the academic training of worship, the church discovers the keys to unlock the treasury of spiritual depth, ensuring that its legacy endures through the generations."

​

• Academic Excellence Level:

The long-term worship course adopted teaching model from universities. The course is led by distinguished instructors and professors, all of whom are educated in the fields of theology and music. All classes are virtual and each student has a mentor. Several online and face-to-face conferences will be held throughout the year. Those who will graduate from this course will have significant musical and theological knowledge to confront and influence the new generation and era.

​

• Education Program

The training courses for full-time students are one year long.

Each training course consists of two semesters.

The total number of credit units for each year is 35.

Throughout the training course, students will have a mentor/guide.

Courses are held virtual (Synchronously)

The start of the training course for the year 2025 will be on February 3rd.

​

Duration and Elements:

We designed and developed various components in the fields of theology, music scales, worship performance, and the personality of worshipers. Our initial educational program spans one year for full-time students. However, if students choose to remain with us beyond their first year, their courses and elements will become more advanced in their second year. The ultimate duration of the complete course is two years. Which is equivalent to 70 units of an associate degree. The first year and the semester start in february and the second semester starts in July.

​

• The number of credits: 

Every credit of AWA represents 15 hours of participation in a learning activity.

In the American educational system, each unit is equivalent to 15 hours of study and educational activities each semester. (which is usually followed by the Iranian university system too) It should be noted that one course in the American education system is between 3 and 4 credits, so each course requires 45 to 60 hours of study and educational activities each semester. The total number of credits for the one-year course of Ava Worship Academy is 35 credits. The two-year AWA training courses are equivalent to an Associate Degree.

 

• Credit distribution:

Credit selection for each year:

1- Students must take all biblical foundational courses (12 credits),

2- 4 Music courses (16 credits),

3- 7 credits of practical courses (eg, attend 2 conferences = 3 credits; one year of Mentoring = 2 credits; doing one year of practical service = 2 credits; in total, 7 credits).
