Neither MINTS nor Filadelfia prepare students for secular work, but for ministry. Being a ministry and not a provider of private higher education, programs/courses are not SAQA registered. Filadelfia has, however, lodged an application with the authorities in order to migrate toward such. The Miami International Seminary ( - a Florida Department of Education ( registered seminary confers qualifications and accredits Filadelfia. Although courses meet the requirements established by many private, independent, and professional associations, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the ministry/institution where they are applying at recognizes matters of accreditation and registration. Although over the years we have witnessed some students setting their studies forth at national higher learning institutions, transferability of credits is always at the discretion of the receiving institution. To this end, Filadelfia has an articulation agreement in place with a South African DHET registered instance; please contact us for more details.
