Student Stories

What I'm learning at AC is relevant to my leadership context and helps me gain clarity and practical tools for my staff meetings, strategic meetings and sermons. Online learning means I can work at my own pace, and the material is too good not to engage with it. I wasn't ready for the Master of Leadership 10 years ago, but I'm so thankful I'm doing it now before it's too late.

The Master of Leadership helps all of us to process new ideas and greater understanding. It's like a train bursting from a long dark tunnel into the summer sun!
