To be approved, it is recommended to have taken CL900 Guiding Adult Learning and the course which they are to teach. However , instructor copies of text may still be ordered. Temple School offers several certificate programs to motivate learners.
All certificates are available to and recommended for members and friends of the church.
After successful completion of Temple School coursework, application is made for a certificate. The president of the church, the director of Temple School, and others sign each 8 x 11 certificate. Although Temple School offers courses in a home study format, it strongly encourages the interactive experience of a class in a field school.
