A Guide To Choosing A Spiritual Development Course

By Dennis Bennett


A strong spirit is rewarding to the body and soul. However, you will feel your spirituality having weakened over time and requires strengthening. Taking a spiritual development course raises your potential and gives you a chance to take more opportunities. But how do you choose the best course among the many offered nearby?

Examine your life to see the areas that are weak and require a bit of strengthening. You might have to do this with the assistance of a spiritual leader. Some of the areas that would be of interest include meditation, scripture reading, ministry and prayer life, among others. Training should target the areas where you feel weak so that the content of lessons may address them.

The training must be aligned to your faith and doctrine. Spirituality is dynamic based on religion and denominational principles. Attending training that is not aligned to your religious teachings will leave you in dilemma or conflict. Look at institutions and leaders whose ideas are similar to what you follow. You can attend the training sessions where they are in charge. Conflict in principles will leave you weaker than you started and might send you on a trajectory that you will never recover.

Your religious leader will guide you on the lessons to take or colleges to enroll. Their experience with such cases gives them the insight to know the areas that need attention for different followers. They also understand the colleges and courses nearby. Once they examine your needs, they can recommend the best course to take.

Who is offering the training? Trainers will determine the quality of content and how well it is delivered to the class. Review the profile of trainers to ascertain that they are skilled and experienced enough to handle such a course. Train with tutors who have been in the industry for a while and therefore understand their content well.

The duration of learning should be a concern. Many courses will last a long or short time depending on the qualification you get in the end. Degree courses will take several years while diploma courses last a year and a few months. There are certificate course taking several months. Other institutions structure their courses in the form of seminars and workshops that will last a few days or weeks. Choose a duration that is convenient. The fees paid will also be affected by duration of a course.

How convenient is it for you to attend training? Convenience is necessary because you have to fulfill other responsibilities like work, family and social engagements. Identify a college or institution that offers evening, holiday or weekend lessons. Online learning is also an option. However, the manner of engagement should enable you to meet set learning goals.

The cost of learning should be a concern. It depends on the college, duration of learning and qualification, among such other factors. You may get a scholarship or have flexible terms of payment that suit your financial position. Remember that learning is an investment you are making in your spirituality.

The institution should provide all the materials and support you require to learn effectively. The learning environment is also crucial because it contributes to the level of mastery. It might also help to work under a mentor who will follow up on your progress.
