Novicius / Intermediatus Essencology Certificate Programs
All students should have 200 hours of clocked practicum hours before receiving their Novicius Certificate and a total of 150 hours of Clocked Practicum for the Intermeidatus Certificate.
The first certificate programs that are offered in the R.I.S.E. Institute of Essencology are consistent with the certification program of R.M.E.G. (Reeverian Ministerial Educational Group. Essencology, founded by Dr. Derrick A. Reeves is founded upon the principles that God is the author of all knowledge and that God has given man the ability to discover specific types of knowledge that God has ordained. Essencology is not opposed to psychological principles or normative counseling principles. Many of the techniques are rooted in vibrant and consistent truth that is in line with biblical principles concerning the Word of God. Essencology seeks to utilize those principles of truth in line with biblical concepts concerning the nature of man (a Trichotomic Being) and to apply general counseling theory, discernment, prayer and most of all biblical principles concerning the theology of man.
The 2 foundational certificate programs are the ES.N. (Novicius of Essencology) which is the entry level of Essencology that begins by exposing the students to the principles of the Trichotomic Nature of man and how these elements operated within a blueprint and design that God has established. The second certificate program is the ES.I. (Intermediatus of Essencology). This certificate program is the next level of Essencology and will bring the student into the ussage of primary counseling theories that are intertwined with biblical principles and concepts.
