At NB, we encourage all our students to register with the Association of Religious Practitioners (ACRP), a South African pastoral and church leadership governing body. Institutions and learners wanting to become affiliated with ACRP are invited to indicate their intent or desire to enter into a relationship by completing the “Indication of Intent Form” and forward it to the central ACRP office via email: [email protected]. The task of this professional body is to define professional designations that are recognised by the professional body and the profession in general. Another word for “professional designation” is: “professional category” or “professional
level.”
ACRP has defined four main levels of designations or professional categories, namely:
- Religious practitioner
- Advanced religious practitioner
- Religious professional, and
- Religious specialist
There are many benefits that leaners can enjoy through this affiliation. More information can be viewed on ACRP’s website www.acrpafrica.co.za
