The Chaplaincy Training Institute 20 hour Basic Chaplain Training Program (Christian based only) is designed for the student who would like to gain a basic understanding of the work of community (Industrial Chaplain) chaplain. This program is useful for people who have no formal training in the field chaplaincy, but conduct hospital and hospice care visits, or community support in a religious setting. The Basic Chaplain Training Program is beneficial for ministers who would like to incorporate volunteer chaplaincy work into their religious outreach program.
