Presently EBI does not offer study loans.
As this matter is still receiving the Board’s attention, students will be informed when a decision has been reached by the Board.
As of now, students attend in Polokwane campus on Mondays-Wednesdays evening from 18H00-20H00.
We currently only offer satellite classes in Burgersfort.
Currently, EBI does not offer accommodation to students within its premises.
The student may, however, be assisted with contacts of those who offer such services within Polokwane city and its surrounding areas.
EBI does not offer distance learning and/or correspondence as of now.
We, however, are working on the issue of distance learning because there are many prospective students(who have seen and heard our former students preaching) who want to come to this institution for learning.
On completion of studies at EBI, students may decide to further their studies with other institutions of higher learning.
It is very important that each one keeps all documents,marked assignments, statements of results and certificates in a safe area because such documentary evidence are always needed by institution of higher learning when one wants to further one’s studies.
Many students who completed our Diploma inTheology are admitted for Bachelor of Arts in Theology in other institutions within SouthAfrica.
Some applicants come to this Institute with certificates of achievements or results statements from other institutions.
Many of them have not completed those studies well and therefore seek to be recognized by this institution. It is advisable that these prospective students collect all necessary documentary proof and bring that to our office for evaluation.
All interested ones who wish to enroll in this institution can get enrolled in 2 ways
Enrollment is done throughout the year but beginning of each month. For example, if one gets enrolled on October 2016 in a 2-year program, that person will complete this Diploma in October 2018 and if in February 2015 she will complete in February 2017.
Requirements
When enrolling, the office will need identity document, proof of having passed Grade 12 and a registration fee (which changes every year).
