How does my journey look like?
How does my journey look like?
Office For Catechesis (OFC) conducts courses, throughout the year, to help equip catechists with sufficient basic knowledge and methodology (pedagogy) on how to catechise, as well as, to use OFC's curriculum effectively.
Our recommendation is to complete the Foundational Course in Catechesis (FCC) and Basic Course in Catechesis (BCC).
The timeframe to complete the FCC / BCC is 3 years, from the start of the first course.
