CRES (Christian Rural and Environmental Studies) is a distance-learning course usually taken over two years. If you are interested, probably the best place to look first is our CRES Certificate page. Then you might have some questions. If that is the case, try our Frequently Asked Questions page first! If you still have questions, then Contact Us. Then, finally, if you would like to apply, fill in an Application Form and send it back to us with your payment (we would much prefer electronic payments).
If you are not sure if the course is right for you, try a taster module!
It is possible to start CRES at any time of the year. CRES has the flexibility to deal with this, but one point to remember is that we only have one graduation event a year in September. So a student starting in, for example, January 2027 will have the choice of completing by September 2028 or September 2029.
