It will be of particular interest to you if you are involved in some aspect of parish work and are looking to gain a formal qualification. If you are involved in what sort of work? That is not made clear. Quote: As this programme is built on work-based learning you will already be active in your parish or place of work. Just imagine the "Situations Vacant" advert in your parish. Qualifications and experience a pre-requisitie for this responsible and demanding position. In plain English: If you don't have the degree you are not eligible for the task. If you don't have the experience please do not apply for the degree course. Parish nuns who have been actively assisting the parish priest for half a century must now compete with QCs (Qualified Catholics). I am all for skills being matched with needs, but is this a step too far? Is it a further threat to the role of the ordained priests and deacons, and the nuns? Will it give more power to the hobby Catholics and enhance the culture of a two tier laity? Finally: Is there a combined degree in Cyber pastoral support. Cyber theology. Cyber-parish management. ?????
