Offered by Eston College in Kindersley, Canada, Certificate of Biblical Studies is a certificate in Religious Studies programme. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 199 per credit (CAD 199 per credit for local students).
The Certificate of Biblical Studies is a one-year, 30-credit foundational certificate at Eston College, delivered on campus in Regina, Saskatchewan. Coursework centers on the overall narrative of the Bible and introductory interpretation skills, with courses covering biblical foundations, an Old Testament survey, a New Testament survey, an introduction to theology, critical reading and writing, an introduction to Christian life, and foundational ministry courses. Students must complete a minimum of 24 of the 30 required credits through Eston College itself rather than through transfer credit. No thesis or practicum is described at this level. The certificate is designed as a complete one-year credential in its own right rather than only as a first step toward a longer program, and the college positions it as a good option for students who intend to take just one year of Bible college before moving on to university, other vocational training, or directly into work. It also functions as the entry point into Eston's Associate Diploma and Bachelor of Arts programs for students who choose to continue, since the credits earned carry forward into those longer credentials.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Eston College is a Christian institution and, per its general admissions page, expects every applicant to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a sincere desire to study the Bible, willingness to be involved in Christian ministry, and agreement to follow the guidelines in the college Catalogue and Student Handbook. For this entry-level certificate the program page's own academic prerequisite is a high school diploma or approved equivalent; applicants without one may still be admitted as a mature student, a home-educated student, or by special privilege, per the general page. Neither the program page nor the general admissions page publishes an English-language test requirement for domestic or international applicants.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Eston College publishes no fixed application deadline for domestic or international applicants: its admissions page states only that 'applications for the 2026-27 school year are open' and directs prospective students to apply online through its Populi portal, with timing questions referred to [email protected]. The site does not distinguish domestic from international applicants, gives no priority or equal-consideration date, and does not spell out separate intake periods beyond the single academic year. On the evidence published, admission runs on a rolling, ongoing basis rather than against a fixed cutoff. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
