Learning Tracks FAQs

Our Learning Tracks offer Seminary Now members a structured pathway to reach their learning goals. With a Learning Track, learners gain new skills in a concentrated area of study, prepare for the next step in their ministry, or develop personal interests.

All Seminary Now members receive access to Learning Tracks with their subscription. There is no additional cost! Our Learning Tracks are perfect for anyone desiring a more structured learning experience.

Learners complete courses on their own schedule. For each course in a learning track, watch the videos at your own pace, complete the accompanying workbook pages, and then take the online quiz. After completing the courses required for any learning track, you will receive a downloadable PDF certificate from Seminary Now.

Seminary Now Learning Tracks offer flexibility to learn at your own pace around your busy schedule. Learning Tracks vary in terms of time commitment and number of courses involved, and each learner moves through a Learning Track at their own pace. We recommend allowing at least 2-3 weeks per course, which results in completion of an 8-course Learning Track in 2-3 months. There is no “deadline” for completion.

If you are a member of Seminary Now, you have access to all Learning Tracks! Simply follow these steps to get started and proceed through a learning track:

1. Browse to the Learning Tracks page and click the "Enroll Now" link for your desired learning track.

2. Browse to your My Progress page and navigate to the videos of the first course.
- Watch the sessions. Use the workbook to reinforce what you learn.
- Take the quiz.

3. After completing the quiz, navigate back to your My Progress page and begin the next course.

4. When you have completed all courses (by passing the quizzes), download your certificate!

On each course page, click the red “Take the Quiz” button to be redirected to our quiz portal. Once you pass the quizzes for all courses in your learning track, you will receive a downloadable PDF certificate.

The workbooks are located on each course page under the course description.

Nothing! Our shift to “learning tracks” does not affect your previous Seminary Now Certificates, and you will still receive a Certificate of Completion when you pass all the quizzes in a learning track. If you are a church or ministry leader needing support for your custom Seminary Now Certificate program, just reach out! We’re here for you.
