This class eases you into online study by allowing you to take the quizzes twice. This opportunity to retake the quizzes gets you familiar with the quizzing process used for completing courses.

Assignments:
1. View all online lectures and read all articles on each topic. Active engagement with course materials prior to attempting the quiz is required for each unit. If a resource is provided in multiple formats, simply choose whichever format best supports your learning. CLI’s system tracks your viewing history to determine meaningful engagement. Make sure you are logged into your student account when viewing or downloading the materials.
2. Take the online quiz for each unit. You will have 75 minutes to answer 20 multiple-choice questions for each quiz. Each quiz covers the readings and video lectures for that unit. Once a quiz has started, you must finish it, and you cannot retake it.
Quizzes must be completed independently. The use of AI tools, search engines, other websites, or assistance from other individuals is prohibited.
Quizzes are open-note. You may reference your own notes or any of the provided CLI course materials during the quiz. However, you should plan to study materials prior to attempting the quiz.
Quiz Tip: First answer the questions you know. Then use your own notes or the provided CLI course materials to help answer any questions you are unsure about.
3. At the end of the course, you will be invited to complete a brief Course Feedback Survey. Your feedback helps CLI evaluate the course and identify opportunities for improvement.

You may have joined this course to deepen your knowledge or pursue your calling, but you’re also part of something much bigger. Christian Leaders Institute’s mission echoes the spirit of Acts 2, where every believer was empowered by the Holy Spirit and shared resources so that no one was in need. In that same spirit, we provide debt-free, high-quality ministry training to equip faithful leaders like you anywhere in the world without the burden of student debt.
However, keeping education free and accessible requires a community effort. We firmly believe that no calling should be hindered by financial constraints, so we rely on the generosity of those who are able to give. Not everyone can donate, and that’s okay—but for those who can, your support helps ensure this free training continues for you and for future ministry students around the globe.
Would you prayerfully consider a gift of $25 (or whatever amount you feel led to give) to help sustain this movement? If you’re unable to give financially, your prayers for this ministry are just as important. Thank you for being part of the Acts 2 vision at CLI. Your support and prayers are truly appreciated, and we are grateful for your partnership in this mission.
