CCRS

The CCRS (Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies) is awarded by the Board of Religious Studies on behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. It is recommended for any teacher who wants to teach in a Catholic school as well as those seeking to deepen their knowledge and understanding in Catholic faith and theology. Anyone wishing to be involved in Catholic education and formation will be very welcome as well as those involved in Religious Education in schools, Parish Catechesis and other ministries in the Church or indeed anyone wishing to follow the course for faith development or personal interest.

The CCRS is delivered as a two year rolling programme and requires completion of a total of eight modules: six core and two specialist modules. Four modules are offered each academic year so it is possible to complete the course within two years or up to five years as allowed by the Board of Studies.
