ERMC Course Fees
Ordinands and Readers in Training
If you are accepted as an Ordinand or on the Licensed Lay Ministry programme, your fees will be paid directly to ERMC by your sponsoring church. This will cover all your training, teaching session and, where part of your programme, attendance at summer schools and residential weekends.
Ordinands may claim reimbursement of travel costs through ERMC. You will also be provided with a small book grant.
For Reader/LLM students in training, each Diocese will have its own policies regarding travel and book allowances.
