Quality Assurance in Ministerial Education

The Church of England is committed to maintaining and developing the quality of the initial training it offers its ordinands.  Theological education and training is offered by training institutions which have been recognised by the House of Bishops.  The training institutions are subject to the quality assurance and enhancement framework of the Church, which includes regular inspection.  

In the Church’s quality assurance work, we

• check the quality of education and formation being offered to the ministers of the future;
• help training institutions to enhance what they offer.  

From March 2009, the Church of England is publishing its inspection reports on ministerial training institutions.

The reports of institutions of partner churches will be published on their own websites.
