Cross-Cultural Communications (CCC)
This is the second phase of NTM's European Bible and Missionary Training course. It is also open to others who may have done Bible training elsewhere, who are in mature standing within their local church, and who specifically want training in cross cultural ministry. English Language level requirements are explained on the Biblical Studies Course page.
 This 1 year CCC course is designed to equip believers, both practically and spiritually, to take the Good News of Jesus Christ to unreached people groups and is available to graduates of the Biblical Studies Course.
Subjects studied include Language Learning, Cultural Anthropology, Bible Translation and Church Planting. Part of the course also involves five weeks of practical language and culture acquisition which is done while simulating living in a remote area.
Graduates with linguistic aptitude are offered a place in the Applied Linguistics Course.
