Three Year Certificate Program in Bahá'í Studies


Human resource development is one of the central objectives of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Australia envisaged to be achieved through devising a systematic program for the education of youth and adults. The present program is designed to contribute towards this goal.

This is a three-year program initiated by the Yerrinbool Bahá'í School and Institute Committee in collaboration with the Association for Bahá'í Studies Australia under the guidance of the Continental Board of Counsellors and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Australia. The course is a combination of distance education and residential schools run at Yerrinbool Bahá'í School.

The program will utilise audio-visual and other materials to foster the continued and profound study of the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, and will provide accurate overviews of issues of current concern and solutions derived by analysing them in the light of the Bahá'í teachings. The program is open to all those interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the Bahá'í Faith, who have the desire to conduct extensive work and research in this area, and to contribute to Bahá'í scholarship worldwide.

The program is designed to contribute directly to the development, consolidation and expansion of the Bahá'í communities in Australasia and the South Pacific.

Three Year Certificate Program in Bahá'í Studies is one of these programs which started in 1994 in collaboration with Association for Bahá'í Studies, Australia. This is targeted at youth and adults over 18 years of age. The program is mainly distance learning with 10 days residential school for each year. The program has had its first intake this year and there are currently 31 students enrolled in this program.
