The Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS) is managed and awarded by the Board of Religious Studies on behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. It was introduced in 1991 to replace its predecessors, the Catholic Teachers’ Certificate and the Certificate in Religious Education.
The course seeks to ensure that participants have at least a basic knowledge and understanding of the beliefs of the Catholic faith. It also provides a basis for further study.
Following positive feedback for virtual sessions, this academic year we are offering a blended approach of face-to-face delivery and modules delivered virtually. This will allow participants to choose an approach which suits them most. Where physical sessions take place, they will be delivered in a Covid safe environment, and we will continue to follow the Government’s latest guidance.
