The Diploma in Advanced Studies takes the students on the next step to discovering the awesomeness of God. The course relies upon the foundation of the CMD both in terms of understanding and utilizing what has been leaned and applying it. 

Many of the subjects are practical in application whilst others depend upon the fact that understanding who God is and how He works help us to live God glorifying lives.

Apart from the teaching there are also projects and seminars.

The project work has scheduled study days within the timetable and there are members of staff to help. The seminar teach students to take small group studies.

Diploma in Theological Studies 

The D.T.S is intended for those students who have either studied at another college or have attended the C.M.D course at L.W.A this course builds on the previous one in the sense that it utilizes what has been learned and applies it to further study and hands on learning. 

Within this course are four projects which are intended to help the student to apply this learning and understanding of the Bible. Students are also expected to deliver a seminar presentation to the other students of their year. This encourages them to explore various avenues of communication apart from the "preach".
