What is Axx Global?

What is Certification?
Axx certification is a formal recognition that you have met all the requirements of a course, qualification or program of study. It ensures that you have the skills and knowledge required to perform a variety of ministry functions. It serves as an official recognition that you have attained qualifications and expertise in core areas of the Ministry, Bible and Theology.
Other Options:
You can choose to begin the higher education training that you have been accepted into that is not faith based training as long as you can meet the ministry requirements of Internship, however, Internship is intended as a deep discipleship year, and while you can choose to begin a higher education degree that is not faith based, we highly recommend that you take this year to deepen your understanding of God’s Word through faith-based study.
When do I study?
All study is in an adult study setting where personal responsibility for completion of study expectations and requirements and any fee payment remains with the student. While INC may be able to offer study mentoring support to assist with time management, understanding course requirements, or particular theological questions, this would occur at the initiative of the student requesting help in a timely manner.
Is there any extra support while I am studying?
Your Internship pastor, Ministry Pastor and Mentors are all available to support you if necessary. Internship is an adult learning environment, and
self-discipline and personal organisation are a requisite of such learning.
