Further Training Schools
YWAM England, as part of YWAM's
University of the Nations (UofN),
runs a number of further training courses to equip you for specific tasks and
callings. These courses can be taken as standalone courses, but they also fit
into the overall picture of further training with the UofN - each course
can be part of a series to fully equip you for a specific role or career
path within YWAM. Brief details of courses run in the UK are given here,
though for more information about further training within the UofN, contact
