Welcome to this simple portal site for the South Central Theological Education Institution (the SCTEI).

The SCTEI trains women and men for ministry in the Church of England, using the national Common Awards scheme validated by the University of Durham.  We operate over four formation centres, each of which has its own website, but we work together as one institution, with one governing body and management committee.

You can click here, for a diagram of our structure.
