This training option is for anyone who has taken Biblical Counselor Training Year 1 and is interested in serving the local Church as a staff or lay biblical counselor, or interested in becoming an ACBC certified biblical counselor.

If you are not a part of a training cohort, you can go at your own pace or follow the MDM class schedule (recommendation of three weeks per class to complete the training in two year). Your homework assignments will be graded and returned to you with our feedback (this is unique to our training as compared to other online biblical counselor training available on the market today). The list of required books are on the class schedule. It is your responsibility to purchase the required books in time to read them by the reading assignment due dates. The books can be purchase from amazon.com, biblicalcounselingbooks.com and other book retailers.
