This can be studied by any Scientologist who is training in Scientology or Dianetics. The program provides an appreciation of the world’s great religions, the religious background and philosophy of Scientology, the ethical codes of Scientology and the ceremonies of the Church. It also shows how to conduct religious services and carry out basic ministerial duties.

How long do training services take?

Each service takes as long as it takes for the individual to go through the checksheet at his own pace. The length of each service will also depend on how many hours he studies per week. On the average, Scientology training takes anywhere from a few days (for most introductory services) to several months (for more advanced training).

Introductory services are designed to take one week at two hours a day. Academy training to become an auditor is generally two weeks, at forty hours a week, for each individual level.

The required time to complete the more advanced levels is quite extensive. The Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, which is a chronological study of Scientology and Dianetics from 1948 to the present, takes approximately one year, at forty hours a week. This study gives the Scientologist the entire philosophic and technical development of the subject, and is the most extensive training course in Scientology.

Are Scientology Course Supervisors university trained?

A university degree is not a prerequisite for becoming a Scientology Course Supervisor.

In Scientology, there is a very precise technology of how to supervise and successfully help individuals through their programs. All Scientology Course Supervisors are thoroughly trained in this technology to ensure that parishioners get the most from their training.
