All students will begin Year 1 together, then choose their specialist pathway to go into their 2nd year. Many students come to college knowing exactly what their calling is, but others take a bit of time to narrow down their focus. This first year allows students time to test different routes and potentially spend time in a general practice context giving experience of a range of areas of ministry before specialising.

The Pathway is based on their practice in years 2 and 3 and culminates in the presentation of a portfolio of evidence at the end of their third year where the specialism will be confirmed.
