The Diploma. The prime benefit of Virtual Bible Academy (VBA) training is increased Bible knowledge equipping you to serve God, other believers, and the lost. VBA offers a formal Diploma to students who complete the systematic theology training in Disciplemaking 1 - Abiding in His Word. The extensive Bible knowledge acquired is of great personal benefit and is directly transferrable to any Biblical ministry.

The certificate’s transferable credit to other academic entities is determined solely by that entity.
