Malyon Vocational Training is an NVR Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code 30002) and has been equipping people for ministry for over 20 years. We are a training division of Queensland Baptists and work alongside our sister Higher Education college, Malyon Theological College.
We believe that learning should be an active experience, based in real life situations. We seek to integrate theory and practice in learning experiences that relate to real life ministry. Our goal is to apply sound learning principles in real life contexts involving action and reflection, so that people learn through practice and evaluation. As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) we offer a variety of accredited ministry courses as well as an extended range of complimentary programs. The RTO operates under the regulations of the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and we are responsible for delivering and assessing training according to these standards. MVT issues qualifications in line with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
This course is the minimum qualification required for people who are delivering training and assessing vocational learners in the VET sector. This qualification reflects the roles of entry-level vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers and assessors who are delivering training services to vocational learners and assessment services to candidates.

It is an ideal program for anyone who is looking to ground themselves in a solid understanding of Scripture and grow and develop in the ministry stream in which they are gifted. The Cert IV program has been designed so that it can sit within a church internship program.
From time to time some modules may be offered in an intensive or face to face format, but all are available via distance. Recognition of prior learning is also available in part or full and will be assessed on prior training and experience. People are welcome to enrol in individual modules without completing the full qualification if there are specific areas of interest to them.
The full qualification will take between 410 and 590 hours of structured/supervised study plus additional unsupervised hours to complete (depending on the stream and electives chosen). Of these hours, 300 hours are in core units of study, with the remainder being in elective units.

Learn moreThe Diploma of Christian Ministry and Theology program is the entry point for people who are committed to a training track that is geared to vocational ministry, or who are looking for a more in-depth engagement with Biblical and theological issues, and more advanced skills in ministry practice. Our program is designed with practice in mind, and assessment shaped by the ministry context addressed by each stream of training.
These ministry contexts include:
Ethnic and multicultural church leadership, Pastoral leadership, Church planting and pioneering ministries.
Modules are offered in various modes – distance, project-based and face to face. Recognition of prior learning is also available in part or full and is assessed on prior training and experience. Successful completion of this qualification satisfies the training requirements for people seeking registration as Queensland Baptist Pastors.
Learn moreThe Cert III CMT program is delivered in distance mode. It is designed for those seeking to grow and develop in their understanding of Scripture and practical ministry applications.
It is ideally suited for Senior School students and people who may not have done any tertiary study, or who are not looking for a “heavier” program. It is a self-paced program and people can commence at any time. However, if the Cert III is studied as part of Year 11 and 12 schooling, study dates align with Queensland state school terms. The Cert III is a comfortable entry point for busy people who are looking to carve out some intentional time for their personal spiritual development.
The full qualification will take between 400 and 470 hours of structured/supervised study plus additional unsupervised hours (approximately 800) to complete (depending on electives chosen). Of these hours, 360 hours are in core units of the study, with the remainder being in elective units.
