  A student can expect to spend a minimum of 16 months in training. However, keep in mind, for integrity's sake, we will be working with your local pastors for recommendations. We believe, though, that your true mentor and trainer is Jesus Christ Himself, and much of your equipping will continue on long after your time with us.

We are encouraging students to visit the chat rooms from 1:00pm-3:00pm and 7:00pm-9:00pm (CST U.S.).

• For the Church License tuition plan, can we bring students through the training from other areas/cities/regions?
  No, the License Plan is based on the size of your local church (number of regularly attending adults).
  
  
• For the Group tuition plan can we bring students through the training from other areas/cities/regions?
  These are local groups in your area that would be able to meet weekly or bi-weekly.
  
  
• If I enroll how much time do I need to reserve for ICIT lessons and audios each week?
  The answer to this is very individualized.  First, let us say that the Holy Spirit does a deep, life-changing work through the training material.  That's why the lessons are paced over a six month period.  If students fall behind and cram, the transformation is not nearly as profound.  So, be certain to count the cost before enrolling for  6-months of intense training by the Holy Spirit.   
   
  The lessons and audios each week are not real long.  The chapters are only 8-10 pages and the training includes 2 audio messages with each lesson, running about 30 minutes each. The printed material can take around 30 minutes to read through. However, students find themselves drawn into prayer, worship, Bible study, devotional time, journaling and more.  Of course many students find themselves going back over the material several times, even after graduation.
  
  
• If a person is already a pastor or has a degree do they still have to start off on Level I?
  Yes, Level I is foundational. We have most every walk of life enrolled in ICIT including many pastors, rabbis, Ph.D.s, homemakers and truck drivers, to name a few. One goal of Level I is to remove the trappings and misdirection of mere religion, and simplify the vision of attaining Christlikeness. The student will also be positioned and strengthened in Christlike, "unoffendable" intercession for their families, churches and communities.
  
  
• I live outside the United States. How much will tuition be in my country's currency?
  You may calculate the currency exchange rate at www.xe.com/ucc.

ALL lessons are to be emailed from the training center only.

Along with the information presented above, we also have a series of questions and answers that were recorded live during a ICIT on-site seminar.
