Facilitators do not have to be graduates of BWU. Contact us if you are interested in becoming

For those taking classes for credit, there is an enrollment fee of $25, which covers the cost of

sessions, books, audio-visual, and other materials that are included. Certificates of course completion
with credit hours will be issued after fulfilling the requirements for each class. Credit hours vary
