Studying the Diploma has gifted me with a more in-depth understanding and knowledge of Theology, Scripture and Church teachings. I loved learning about the rich history of the Old Testament and New Testament which was brought to life by very professional and dynamic lecturers.
This learning has deepened and enriched my faith and pedagogy, and it has made me a more reflective, knowledgeable and evangelising teacher of Religious Education. I had fun whilst studying this Diploma and made some wonderful friends.
I highly recommend this Diploma to all teachers who work in Catholic Schools as an essential requirement vital to being able to competently teach the Religious Education Programme and to being able to fully support the development of the necessary skills, values, attitudes and beliefs in our students which are integral to the Catholic Character of our schools.
