Online Chaplain Training

Chaplaincy Training Online Question by Joseph

Chaplain Schools Online is a common career change topic of many who write me.

Remember that I am simply a retired Board Certified Chaplain and do not represent any official Chaplain Certification Organization or chaplain education training center.

This ministry focused website on changing careers is my present chaplain career endeavor, what I consider to be my Internet Chaplain Career.

For more information on a internet ministry, check out SiteBuildIt Web Publishing.

(By the way, I do receive a commission should anyone purchase anything from SBI through this link, which is the genius of internet marketing. I fund my internet chaplain career through internet marketing.)

Chaplain Certification Leading To A Chaplain Job

You most likely see Chaplain Training ads on the internet.

Unless they are through an official chaplaincy certifying organization like the Association of Professional Chaplains, the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education, or the National Association of Catholic Chaplains, may not lead you to employment as a professional chaplain.

When director of spiritual care at a San Diego based hospice, I often had job candidates tell me they had taken an online chaplain training course (usually paying hundreds of dollars) only to find it to be a sham or a scam. They found out when not hired that many of these online schools were not officially recognized as a legitimate chaplain training program.

Your best approach to chaplain training is to contact your denominational chaplain department. You may want to go to a local hospital and make contact with the spiritual care department, asking one of the hospital chaplains to share their story about chaplaincy training and the process to become a board certified chaplain.

Check Out Any Chaplain Schools For Official Educational Status

You wrote "I wish to get details about chaplain schools, online." Do not take at face value anyone advertising online chaplain training. Your goal is to be hired as a professional chaplain, not to just take classes from someone who says that you do not need to have a master's degree or that their chaplaincy training program is all you need. Ask them to show you their graduates who have been hired as a professional chaplain and also ask for their official endorsement by a chaplain certifying organization.

Just because they claim to provide chaplain career training does not mean that taking their chaplaincy courses will lead to jobs for chaplains.

Do your due diligence to make sure any chaplain training program is recognized and endorsed by the various chaplain certification organizations.
