There is limited accommodation available for summer intensives.
Scholarship students have their cost in-house accommodation covered,
Entry requirements
To broaden our scope, we have very few entry requirements for our courses. It is helpful to speak English, but not strictly required for most courses.
Some courses follow on from each other; e.g. Greek 2 can only be followed after Greek 1. Certain courses are tailored specfically towards those teaching the Biblical languages or planning to do so.
All applications will be considered for approval. Enrolment in TAAL courses does not automatically guarantee enrolment into Tyndale programs, but if Tyndale's entry requirements are met, TAAL courses will be taken into consideration in the program planning.
No entry requirements: Greek 1, Hebrew 1
Completed Greek/Hebrew 3 or further: NT Reading, OT Reading, Aramaic
Teaching position (or concrete plans to teach) PLUS previous language knowledge: Greek Pedagogy 1, Hebrew Pedagogy 1
