*If yes, we will need to ask your vicar (or someone else in authority in a vacancy) for their support for you to take the course as they will need to be present for the delivery of, and comment on, your specialist module assignment. Please note however that Certificate does not imply or confer any authority to minister anywhere in the Diocese including your own church, that is entirely in the gift of your Vicar as is the responsiblity for ensuring that you have the correct level of DBS check and safeguarding training in place should they invite you to minister.
