INTRODUCTION
Diocese of Mt. Kenya owe many thanks to the Father of T.E.E. Fred Holland and the very
many other players. Theological Education by Extension (T.E.E) programme is now clearly
established as a vigorous and creative form of education for preparation for Ministry. In the
1960’s Christianity in Africa was described as “a mile long and an inch deep” this means that
conversion must be accompanied by rooting in the word of God. Since the beginning of T.E.E. in
Guatemala Latin America, in 1963 it has continued to grow. T.E.E is widely used in A frica,
India, South America and Southeast Asia. The success of T.E.E. can be attributed to the fact
that practical ministry preparation is a major emphasis in the program. Because T.E.E is
primarily concerned with training for spiritual formation, we need to understand what we mean
by T.E.E., Ministry
and its relevance to our own situation.
Our Bishop’s vision and the diocesan strategic direction is to have T.E.E groups in eve parish in the
Diocese. He would like to see Christians study the word of God and equipped for ministry. As God’s
people in Diocese of Mt Kenya South learn and act upon God’s word, it will bring revival in the
church and positive change in the secular world T.E.E programme accommodates everyone whatever
the academic level, many professionals now are aware of the essential philosophy; principles and
methodology of T.E.E have shown great interest and have embraced this method of training for
ministry. We encourage every Christian, more so from Diocese of Mt. Kenya South to reflect upon the
contribution, validity and importance of advancing the Faith understandings of the “ Lex Orandi Lex
Credendi” *(Latin tag meaning the law of mutual interaction of prayer and the law of belief produces
better worshippers).
T.E.E. is a means of improving, developing and nurturing the church in its authentic walk with Christ so
that the applied word of God will have a positive impact on our lives and society.
A HISTORY OF T.E.E IN THE DIOCESE OF MT. KENYA SOUTH
Theological Education by Extension started as a result of the Diocese facing a situation of growth, where
too many Christians had too few trained clergy to guide and shepherd them. To illustrate to this point, it is
significant to put it in record that in late 1980’s there were over a hundred and thirty(130) congregations
in the Diocese and just over /about fifty (50) clergy.
Because of the pressure within the Diocese, were calling it to an examination of its relevance to the spiritual
life in which it found itself especially its laity formation wanting. After noticing the dire need for laity
formation in the Diocese of Mt. Kenya South, the Bishop acknowledged the significance of extending
theological knowledge to the laity of our Diocese by appointing a part time TEE Director with effect from
January 1990.
From its inception in 1990 T.E.E. has existed during the tenure of:
· Late Bishop (Rt. Rev. George M. Njuguna - Consecrated
Bishop1984 - 1995)
· Retired Bishop (Rt. Rev. Peter Njenga Karioki consecrated
Bishop1996 -2004)
· Bishop (Rt. Rev. Timothy Ranji Mbuthia consecrated Bishop 2004 to date)
Successive T.E.E. Directors:
· Revd Hiti Kabetu (1990)
· Revd Jeon Su (Korean)
· Revd Mary Wairimu Kang’ara (1998-2008) appointed director as the
Diocese celebrated the silver jubilee in March 1998.
· Revd Capt. Kabiru Fredrick (2008 to )
Successive T.E.E. chairmen:
· Revd Timothy Ranji Mbuthia (now Diocesan Bishop)
· Revd Perminus Kaba Kamau
For all this period to this date T.E.E has come in handy to supplement the work of the Clergy and
Evangelists. TEE office is based at Bishop Kariuki Integrated Community Training Centre Wangige.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
WHAT IS T.E.E? Theological Education by Extension. According to sister Carol Mouat of the T.E.E. College Southern
Africa) , “it is a method of training (laity and ordained) for ministry in the Church”. The philosophy is
concerned with the method of theory and praxis. While the students study for the ministry in their home
environment they continue to serve in their congregation. The theory is an academic process which the
students translate immediately into action in his or her pastoral ministry within the church. Reflection
takes place in small discussion groups. This spiral of knowledge-being and doing– enables the student to
reflect critically on theological issues which are directly related to life situations. It takes the teaching and
learning to people where they are.
As Theological form a Greek word THEOS which means GOD and LOGOS which means STUDY OF.
It teaches about God, what God is like and what God does, and how to serve God. It gives t r aining in all
t hat bas ic foundat ions of t he Chr is t ian faith. Wit h t extbooks t hat help s t udent s t o s tudy the
Bible (wit h C hr is t at t he cent er ) , t heology and minist ry
THEOLOG-ICAL used with EDUCATION has a special meaning Theological Education is Training
IN the Ministry T.E.E. is therefore a program for training in the Ministry.
T.E.E IS EDUCATIONAL.
It is built on sound principles of training that make for effective learning by reaching students in their own
environment with quality education. Christian education must be practical. Knowledge that is not applied
to real-life issues will not transform lives.
Education is a process of CHANGE . Education by Extension has three important parts.
Self teaching material
Discussion
Activities
MOVING FROM : Partial to improved growing ,Limited to better performance, less to greater perfection
A CHANGE IN KNOWING Home study (knowing) is immediately fortified by DOING. This affects what the
learner is becoming, his/her BEING is influenced by change. In theological Education by Extension the spiritual
formation of the person learning is of primary importance.
All three types of educative experience are held in balance i.e.
a) Cognitive which is concerned with Knowing,( have a Head knowledge)
b) Interactive which is concerned with being and
c) Affective, which is concerned with doing.
T.E.E is EXTENSIONAL—
It is not limited to one central institution like a Theological school. It reaches out to those places
where small groups of Christian ,who need training for their services in the church can come
together for common learning.
This makes it possible for the learner to stay at home and communities ,jobs, continue making
their living as before and continue to serve their congregation while learning.
T.E.E. is that form of education that does not extract the learner from his/her normal productive role in society. T.E.E is
learning in context and training in ministry
Theological Education by Extension offers many people the opportunity for spiritual learning in the comm unity
where they are in relation to their local church.
While they learn, they actively participate in its life. The Knowing is immediately fortified by DOING
OUTCOME OF LEARNING THROUGH T.E.E
In T.E.E. learners are challenged to analyze, synthesize, eval uate and implement what they learn if they are to be
able to confront the challenge facing our contemporary society.
Learning always changes the thought and behaviour of the learner and enhances spiritual formation
- From self-teaching material comes theoretical knowledge.
- From discussion comes critical reflection,
- From field experience come practical ministerial skills. This educative experiences affects spiritual life
formation-what the learner is becoming. Christians are able to be built up spiritually if they open themselves to the
instruction of the Holy Spirit.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO STUDY THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION BY EXTENSION?
Christian education passes the Christian Faith from one generation to the next. It helps make their faith
their own and to live it out. Aided by the Holy Spirit who dwells every believer. One of the reason why we
need this form of Christian education is to fight ignorance. The validity and importance of T.E.E towards
advancing of Faith understanding need not emphasis. From its inception a decade ago, T.E.E. seek to serve
and equip the ministry of the laity through out the Diocese, equipping Christians of all categories all levels
of life and education. The Anglican Church, the body of Christ, has been active, serving and evangelizing
church, it also needs to be a healthy church in Biblical knowledge. It needs to build up its members
spiritually. It is imperative to see the great need for teaching/discipling the thousands who come to the
Lord. Thus the primary purpose is to help all Christians who wish to be faithful Disciples of Christ to
spiritually grow, mature and bear fruit in/for Christ. T.E.E. includes training lay church leaders who are
active and involved in ministry in the Church as leaders of congregations. T.E.E. programme can
accommodate all level of education up to postgraduate level. We could say T.E.E. is intended as in-service
training. Christian maturity is a life – long process, and therefore T.E.E. Parish level can be regarded as a
Continuing Christian Education. Learning through T.E.E. does not prepare Christians for the Ordained
Ministry but offers practical Theological education, which enables believers to understand the word of God
and apply it in their daily lives.
FOR WHOM IS TEE INTENDED?
Beginning with church elders lay readers, the Anglican Diocese of Mt. Kenya South needs to build up its
members spiritually. Since the primary purpose of the body of Christ is to help all Christians to be faithful
Disciples of Christ to grow, mature and bear fruit in/for Christ. T.E.E comes in handy as an arm/forum in
the Anglican Church for the same. We could say T.E.E. can be regarded as a Continuing Christian
Education. It is intended as in-service training for Sunday school teachers, Evangelists, Lay readers,
Mothers Union/K.A.M.A leaders ,choir leaders, church committee members, especially chairman/lady
secretary and treasurer and all other Christian. The parish priest plays a vital role in encouraging these
people to enroll in the T.E.E. programme. If the Vicar is convinced that Christian life and witness can be
strengthened through theological education by extension, then he/she is a tremendous help. She/he will
follow up her/his key lay people and help them to see their need of joining the T.E.E. Programme. T.E.E.
succeeds best where the pastor is supportive, and involved in recruiting and encouraging students. Most
Vicars in our Diocese do not normally lead T.E.E. groups, but some do. Upon training and commissioning
here at Bishop Kariuki Centre, new lay readers continue in Bible study. CCRS is of great help especially it is
ideal for all Lay readers.
PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION
Theological Education by Extension T.E.E method of training for ministry is a programmed Instruction
(PI): self-contained teaching material using a special way of presenting teaching in a series of steps called
“sequence”, they replace the classroom teacher and give information, explanation, challenge to application,
home-work and control of home-work. It is aimed particularly for men and women already serving in the
church and those willing to serve. This method takes teaching of the word of God and learning to all
Christians where they are as they continue with their daily chores, they continue actively serving their
congregation while learning. It is a method, which is effective to accommodate everyone whatever the
academic level. It is the view of the Diocesan T.E.E. committee that T.E.E. is a relevant, contextually
appropriate initiative in the Diocese capable of providing for laity training that is cost sensitive and broadbased. Being Programmed Instruction (PI), T.E.E. leads students through a carefully and well-planned
steps towards a specific objective. This is in a comprehensive syllabus series of Fifty one Bible based course
textbooks published by Evangel Publishing House. The purpose of this course is practical rather than
academic. This programme is international, active in almost all Anglican dioceses in Kenya and in other
denominations.

.HOW TO BEGIN A T.E.E. GROUP IN YOUR PARISH.
TALK TO YOUR VICAR ABOUT IT:
Discuss who should join the group. Usually it is best to first train church leaders such as Lay Readers,
Sunday School Teachers Mother’s Union members, Youth Leaders etc but it is also helpful for every church
member. Leaders are targeted because the group size is limited; so leaders are first priority. Decide when to
speak to the congregation and when to have a meeting for interested people. Respect the vicar’s authority
and keep her/him informed.
CONTACTING PEOPLE:- If you decide to work with leaders go to speak to them individually. Perhaps you
could ask the vicar to arrange a meeting with a number of people whose names are announced in church. If
you decide to choose whoever is interested then ask for permission to speak at a service where you can
explain T.E.E. and invite interested people to meet you at a time and place to learn more.
HOLD A MEETING FOR INTERESTED PEOPLE:- Explain to people in a way which answers the following
questions: What is T.E.E.? / Why do you need T.E.E.? How will it help you? / How does it work? / What is
the commitment? i.e. time, money, etc Encourage people that it is voluntary but involvement means
commitment. As well as above decide when and where guides discussions. Tell them about the short work
each week and the book, which guides discussions. Tell them about the short quiz each week but encourage
them that it is not to difficult, the certificate at the completion; provided that they have attended 7 out of
10 weeks and achieved more than 50% in marks. Each book lasts for 12 weeks and that as much as possible
follows school terms. So in 1 year you would do 3 books.
INFORM THE T.E.E. DIRECTOR.
Order the number of books you need including a breakdown of how many Swahili and English. Also tell
the Director the time and place of the weekly meeting.
Fill out any form that the T.E.E. Director forward to you. Keep in contact with the Director
WHAT KIND OF T.E.E LEADER/FACILITATOR?
For TEE to succeed we need trained ,skilful group leaders. The play strategic role in helping others to
assimilate what they are learning. They participate directly in building the body of Christ, the church. It is a
demanding task, but very rewarding. So proper care need to be taken as you source for a leader. T.E.E. group
leaders should be acceptable to the Vicar and group . The Vicar should be categorically involved in the
screening of to be leaders. We consider the following.
We emphasize that a T.E.E leader to be a person who have received Jesus Christ
as Lord and Saviour of his /her life and must not be a new Christian, and has
been walking with the Lord for some reasonable length of time, preferably for
more than one year. His/her commitment to God and church must show and is
evident in his/her life.
He/she should have a recommendation from the vicar and has a respect of the
congregation as a role model.
He/she has to be spiritually mature, academically competent fro the group’s level, steady character and
humble, have spiritual gifts from
God, which make him/her able to care for his/her work and to love and help
others and must show willingness to learn and be a good example to other
believers.
He/she must see him/herself as a student/learner along side others and not as a
teacher, chairman or lecturer.
He/she has been proven to be honest and faithful. This is important, since a T.E.E
group leader is responsible for collecting money for books and fees and passing
this money to the T.E.E office/director.
He/she must be willing to do the work of T.E.E group leader in a voluntary
capacity and should be someone who is able to encourage others to keep forward.
Our leaders receive no pay.
NB: The success of T.E.E depends on sourcing and getting the right people to lead/facilitate the
T.E.E seminar. when a suitable person is found he/she is invited to a (4) four days T.E.E. leaders
training course at Bishop Kariuki Integrated Community Training Centre Wangige. The church or
parish which sends him/her pays his/her transport and course fees. After training , the new leader/s
leads the T.E.E. group in the coming term.
In the series from Evangel Press there are 51 course books most of which are in both Swahili and
English. After 10 books a participants gets a progressive certificate and after 21 books a person is said
to have completed the second part of the course but emphasize that the teaching they gain from the
book is more important than the certificate but the certificate is more of an encouragement. The
course is long because weekly Bible study should be normal for every born-again Christian.
THE C.C.R.S. COURSE
The Anglican Church of Kenya opened its Centre for Continuing Education in Theology at Trinity College in June, 1998. From this Centre,
Theological Education by Extension has been promoted and coordinated and personnel trained to administer regional (diocesan) TEE
programmes and to facilitate the certificate in Christian Religious studies course. In time, higher level courses have been launched.
This certificate course has been offered in partnership with Carlile College - Institute of Continuing Education. This partnership has been approved by the Anglican Church's Provincial Board of Education and Training. These two Colleges are situated opposite each other in Jogoo
Road, Nairobi. Through this partnership, our Christians in Diocese of Mt. Kenya South are able to have a good quality course that is
properly regulated and examined and certificate awarded.
The Certificate in Christian and Religious Studies course is designed to help Christians equip themselves better for God's service using the
Theological Education by Extension (T.E.E.) method of learning. This method comprises independent self-directed learning using home study
materials (Course books), practical experience applying learning in the context of the local church, and compulsory regular group discussion with
fellow students, guided by a trained group facilitator. Facilitators must have minimum Diploma in theology to facilitate CCRS.
Originally, during the 1970's, the course comprised five papers examined by Nairobi University who awarded a Certificate in Religious
Studies (NCRS). In 1989 the University closed the NCRS programme. After that, the Anglican Church of Kenya who, with the author,
the Rev Keith B. Anderson, owns the copyright for the course books received many requests that the course be revived. Diocese of Mt.
Kenya South is happy that we can now get an expanded course examined by Carlile College, leading to a Certificate in Christian and Religious
Studies (CCRS).
Provincial T.E.E. programes have relocated from Carlile college to the Province ( Uzima Premises at Nairobi Imani House) as resolved by the
Provincial Synod sitting on 30th September 2011.
C.C.R.S. Entry Level
For those enrolling for the course, it is advisable to have had four years of secondary education in English, or eleven years of formal
education i.e. seven/eight years of primary education and four years of post primary education. It is possible for people with less than four
years post primary education to learn and benefit from the course books, but they may take longer to complete the course. Someone who
has only seven or eight years of education may find the books very difficult.
The principle of Open Learning implies that students will prove themselves capable of meeting examination requirements. Therefore,
students are expected to obtain a pass mark in the first examination attempted before being allowed to sit for further papers.
Ideally, students should begin with Book 1 ATR (African Tradition Religion) because it contains an introductory course that includes
teaching on how to study. This is particularly help to those who have a minimum of post primary formal education. No matter which course
book a student begins with, it is advisable to study the first 6 weeks' lessons in Book 1 first. A Certificate in Christian and Religious Studies
gives entry into higher levels of theological education. It does not give entry to higher level courses in other disciplines for which there
may be other entry requirements.
CCRS Syllabus
Book 1- Paper 1 - ATR African Tradition Religion (23 weeks)
This book begins with six introductory units that are designed to help those who are beginning to study by the TEE method It is helpful for
both students and tutors. Advice is given on how to study at home and how to read effectively. There is a two-week section on the question
of authority in religious studies. This question is extremely relevant to every part of the certificate syllabus. The introductory units also teach
you how to approach the Bible, how to study the Bible and how to prepare sermons. If you are just beginning the course, you are strongly
advised to complete these introductory units before going on to other books. The study of African tradition in philosophy and religion is one of
two compulsory papers in the syllabus. This course covers the subject of social and religious change in Africa as well as a study of the
traditional elements in African religion and philosophy.
Book 2- Paper 2 - The Theology of the Bible (27 weeks)
This begins with a general introduction to the Bible, including Bible history and geography, and the Old and New Testaments. It then moves
on to study four main themes in the theology of the Bible. These four themes are:
The Word of God The People of God The Righteousness of God The Spirit of God
Book 3- Paper 3 - Old Testament and New Testament (27 weeks)
This course follows on naturally from Book 2. Eight selected books of the Bible are studied, four in the Old Testament and four in the New.
The two main books covered are St. Luke's Gospel which requires 18 hours of study and Deuteronomy that requires 12 hours. Three more
Old Testament books (Genesis: 6 hours; Hosea: 4 hours; Daniel: 2 hours) and three more in the New Testament (St. John's Gospel: 8 hours:
Galatians: 4 hours; and Hebrews: 6 hours) make up the remaining number.
Book 4 – Paper 4- Church History and Theology (26 weeks)
This book covers the history and theology of the Christian Church from the time of Pentecost until the present day, with especial reference to
the development of the church in East Africa. This gives an historical outline of the way in which the church has expanded and contracted over
the centuries.
Book 5 – Paper 5 - Religions in East Africa (23 weeks)
This covers Hinduism, Christianity and Islam as the three major religions in East Africa. It also studies some of the smaller religious groups
which have sprung from these three world religions. These include Sikhism, Jainism,
Theo-sophy and Bahaism. This involves an understanding of pluralism which seeks to combine all religions into one. Scientific humanism and
Marxism are also looked at as substitutes for religion. The effects of modern social changes upon religion are also studied.
Paper 6 – Pastoral Care/Anglicanism - People Caring for People, Helpers for a Healing Community, Something in Common (28
weeks)
These three textbooks, together with workbooks and study guides, give an introduction to pastoral care in a church context (5 weeks) and
counselling with those affected with HIV/AIDS (9 weeks). There is also a 14 weeks course on Anglicanism for Anglicans and alternative
studies on spirituality and worship for nun- Anglicans.
Paper 7 – A practical Research Project (12 weeks)Research Project: (3,500 word essay).
Students will have been examined in all six course subjects before attempting the Research Project. However, it is advisable to begin thinking
about a possible research project while doing Biblical and Pastoral studies. Facilitator will make available Research guidelines Students will
choose a title for their essay in consultation with their group facilitator. The essay should be on a Pastoral or social issue facing Christians today.
It should integrate the course studies and experience of the student and examine issues in the light of Biblical principles with reference to a
denominational perspective.
Course Requirements
Students must do all seven Papers. They must pass the first examination attempted, before examination in subsequent courses is permitted.
To qualify for a Certificate, passes must be obtained in four of the seven papers. NB: Passes in 'African Traditional Religion' and 'Old
Testament and New Testament' are compulsory. The Research Paper should be completed within twelve weeks (i.e. during the term following
completion of the six course papers).
Pass 40% to 50% Grade D- through C+
Merit 60% to 69% Grade B- through B+
Distinction 70% and above Grade A
Length of CCRS Course -Minimum 3.5 years.
Learning through the T.E.E method, most students will take three years and three months to complete the course work for Papers 1 to 6. This
requires four hours home study per week, with an average of sixty hours tutorial time for each course subject. Overall, this is 360 hours with a
tutor/facilitator in regular weekly discussion, together with other students.
Diocese of Mt. Kenya South CCRS Centres
Many students have successfully completed CCRS and graduated. We have centres strategically placed and
students can enrol for study at:
Githunguri Archdeaconry we are at ACK St. Luke’s Githunguri town
Limuru Archdeaconry at St. Andrews town
Kiriita Archdeaconry at St. Paul’s Kiriita
Cathedral Archdeaconry at St. Paul’s Kiambu
Kabete archdeaconry at BKICTC Wangige
Kiambaa Archdeaconry at St. Michael and all Angels Banana
Ngong Archdeaconry at Emmanuel church Ngong
We recommend that all Christians actively serving in our Diocese especially newly appointed Evangelists,
Lay readers and Church elders enroll for study.
CCRS Group Tutorials
In order to cover the syllabus adequately, students are required to attend 75% of the group tutorials for each paper. Group tutorials are
arranged locally as convenient to the students and are normally held weekly. Students should think carefully before choosing which tutorial
program to group to follow.
A 3 1/2 years Tutorial Program for Papers 1 to 6
10 terms x 12 weeks x 2 hours per tutorial
= 240 hours
Each term: 1 short residential seminar of 12 hours
(10 terms x 2 days x 6 hours)
= 120 hours
360 hours .
THEOLOGICAL EDUCATON BY EXTENSION (T.E.E) METHOD OF STUDY
Because we uphold the principle of participatory education, group discussion is an essential component of the course. Students will have
attended 360 hours of group discussion in addition to the hours spent in home study. The Anglican Church of Kenya - Provincial TEE
Programme (ACK TEE), based at church Army carlile college, supervises and coordinates the offering of courses through Diocesan T.E.E
Centres. At this level, it is the responsibility of the Province to train and registering group facilitators, the registration of students, the
coordinating of learning support through its T.E.E centres, and the approval and registration of diocesan examination centres
CCRS FACILITATORS
In offering the CCRS course, we use the T.E.E method. For this, facilitators are needed. Facilitators are recommended to Trinity
College/Provincial office the Anglican Dioceses through T.E.E Director. certificate level T.E.E groups are to be formed, then the facilitators
are trained. Certificate level (CCRS)group facilitators are required to have the following qualifications:
A diploma in Theology (or higher) from a recognized theological college.
An A.C.K TEE Facilitator's Certificate or equivalent, recognized by provincial T.E.E.
These qualifications are necessary in order to become an approved, registered, CCRS level group facilitator. In order to maintain a high
standard, facilitators are expected to attend training and briefing sessions when called from time to time. Those facilitating groups of ten or
more students are offered an honorarium.

CCRS REGISTRATION
There is a registration fee of K.Shs. 1,000/- per course subject. This does not include the cost of text books. NB: Fees are subject to change at
the discretion of provincial office. Registrations will be accepted only when written on the official form and accompanied by the registration
fee. Students must register anew for each course subject. Fees are not transferable. If a student drops out of a course, his/her fees are not
transferable to another student.
Group Registration
Students are normally registered as a group, provided they have an approved T.E.E group facilitator. This means:
• Students are advised to inquire at the diocesan T.E.E office for information about CCRS groups and join the group that is most
conveniently located.
Any group of ten students may be registered as a TEE group.
Students normally register through their T.E.E group facilitator. They do this by completing the official registration form province and paying
the required course registration fee.
• The T.E.E group facilitator is responsible for collecting money from students for fees and books and for paying course fees in full to complete
registration. Group fees are paid to provincial office through bank account. Normally, no individual payments is accepted from students who
are members of T.E.E groups because the province deals with group facilitator.
When Group Registration forms and course fees are received by provincial office (plus the cost of any course books ordered), students will be
registered and given a Student Number. Course books (if paid for) are collected by the facilitator and dispatched immediately to the students
as requested.
Method of Payment for Group Registrations
The CCRS group facilitator may pay Group fees to carlile college through bank account. With completed registration forms (one per student)
and full registration fees, together with money for books ordered.
The appropriate forms may be sent by post .
Group Code
Each TEE group is given a code number. This forms part of the student registration number. Student numbers should always be quoted in
forms or correspondence. This helps the college speed up identification of students and reference to student records.
Group Tutorials and Course Work Reports
Regular group tutorials are organized by the T.E.E group facilitator who will report on students' course work to provincial office. Proof of
students' course work and tutorial hours is one of the requirements for satisfactory completion of each course.
Change of Group Meeting Location
It is the responsibility of the CCRS group facilitator to inform the province of any change of address and/or location of the CCRS group meeting.
REPEATING CCRS COURSES
Courses failed or not completed may be repeated in the following semester or later. Full fees will be charged for such courses. Students who
wish to register and who are already in possession of course books which are in current use, need only to pay the registration and examination
fees. NB: students must indicate in their registration form if they are repeating, and show clearly whether or not they have the book required for
that course. Old editions of text books may not be used once the revised edition is published.
Exemption of group/class work may be applied for through the CCRS group facilitator to Carlile College with proof of previous class work and assignments completed.
CCRS EXAMINATION
Carlile College in the past has been responsible for administration of the CCRS, now that the province has taken over, group facilitators are
obligated to correspond with the provincial TEE office on all matters relating to examinations, and make sure that diocesan examination centres
and supervisors are registered with the provence.
There are three examination seasons a year, March and April, June and July , November and December. However, this does not necessarily
mean that T.E.E students will be able to sit an exam in March and then be ready to sit another in July. The number of weeks needed to
complete the course work makes this virtually impossible. Once students have qualified by passing their first exam, it may be advisable to
prepare for examination once a year. Sometimes this may mean deferring examination of a completed course and beginning another while waiting to be examined.
CCRS Examination Fee
An examination fee of K.Shs. 400/=- per student per paper is payable two months' before the examination date. Late registrations are not
accepted and examination are/maybe deferred until the following season. (fee Subject to change)
Group registrations will be done by facilitators who will write a Request for Examination and send it, together with the students' examination
registration forms and exam fees to the province. Requests for Examination must be received two months before the date of the examination
Students who have attempted an examination and failed may re sit, or they may choose not to re sit the exam and apply through their group
facilitator to the province for permission to participate in CCRS courses on the understanding they will pay normal registration fees for each
course but will not be admitted for examination. Such students will be given a Statement of Participation issued by provincial TEE office after
completing the course work for all six courses.
When the student has satisfactorily fulfilled all the requirements for CCRS he/she receives academic
transcript listing all subjects and marks, and giving the final grade for CCRS as whole. Certificates are
awarded by the examining college at their annual ceremony.
