Questions and answers
About MBTC Self Study
What is MBTC Self Study?
Recorded Bible and ministry courses from Miracle Bible Training Centre. Each course has video lessons, and most have a manual to read. You study on your own, at your own pace, on your phone or computer.
Is it the same as MBTC’s term classes?
No. Self Study gives you the recorded lessons and manuals to work through whenever it suits you. There is no timetable, tutor, assignment or exam, and nothing to install.
Which course should I start with?
Most students begin with the Foundation Course, because many subjects build on it.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. When you have completed every lesson in a course, open it in My learning and choose View certificate.
Enrolling and paying
How much does it cost?
R70 per subject per month. When you enrol you choose 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months and pay once for the whole period: one subject for 3 months is R210.
How do I pay?
On iKhokha’s secure payment page, by card, Instant EFT, Apple Pay or Google Pay. On a computer you can also scan a QR code and pay with your phone. Your invoice and receipt come by email.
Will it renew by itself?
No. You pay once for the period you choose. We email you a week before your access ends, and you can renew whenever you like.
Can I add more subjects later?
Yes. Enrol again and choose the new subjects. Each subject has its own access period.
I paid, but my course isn’t showing
It usually appears within a minute or two, so refresh My learning. If it still isn’t there after 15 minutes, send us a message with the email address you paid with.
Studying
How long can I study a course?
For the period you chose. My learning shows when your access ends. Your progress is saved, so if you renew later you carry on where you left off.
Can I study on my phone?
Yes. MBTC Self Study works on any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser.
Can I download the videos?
No, the videos play online. Each course’s manual opens in your browser or PDF reader.
How can I use less data?
Read the manual: it covers every lesson and uses far less data than video. Watch the videos on Wi-Fi when you can.
