Curriculum is normally designed for a particular level of study. For this reason, standards of entry have been introduced at the Open Bible Institute of Theology to ensure that students are prepared for the level of work that they would be required to do. Consequently, the following entry standards have been approved and implemented.
MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THREE ACADEMIC ENTRY REQUIREMNETS:- 1-Successful completion of the OBIT English Entrance Examination. 2-Completion of INSTE (Institute of Theology by Extension, a ministry of Open Bible Standard Churches) Level I and a pass (Grades I-III from 1998) in English Language. 3-Complete a Bible Knowledge Entrance Assessment.
A limited number of students may be accepted on the basis of mature entry. This is normally available to older students whose maturity and life experience would have prepared them for study at this level.
Be eighteen (18) years of age or above.
Have a genuine “born again” conversion experience.
Have an approved Christian character for a period of time sufficient to demonstrate stability in the faith, preferably at least one (1) year.
THESE REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO FULL-TIME, PART-TIME AND SPECIAL STDENTS.
Students who do not meet the academic entry requirements of # 1 above may work towards acquiring the accepted entry qualification before reapplying.
Special students (those interested in doing just a few courses) may do a maximum of 5 courses after which the full academic entry requirements (# 1) will apply in order for continuation.
