What are advanced training courses
These are courses within YWAM that give you the opportunity to go deeper and acquire greater skill and experience in specific areas. Not only are we a missional organisation that desires to reach the lost with the Gospel, we also want to see cultural transformation. We believe that we are called to have an impact on every area of society and want to see the Kingdom of God established in the spheres.
YWAM Herrnhut offers just a few of the many advanced training courses within YWAM. A prerequisite for all course is a full completion of a YWAM Discipleship Training School.
University of the Nations
Pacific & Asia Christian University (PACU) was founded in 1978 in Kona, Hawaii, USA. It was founded to train students in ministering the love of Christ and teaching others according to the command of Christ to make disciples of all nations, in all spheres of society. A development guide was written to create seven colleges and several multidisciplinary centres that would develop schools, seminars, and other training modules in these subject areas. A master plan for the campus was prepared by a team of planners and architects who carefully considered the best environment for implementing the founding principles of the university.
Schools were developed rapidly in many nations and on six continents. Many of these schools were linked with PACU. However, the regional and local names no longer reflected the worldwide scope and unity of the various higher education activities. The Board of Regents unanimously adopted the new name, University of the Nations (UofN), at their meeting in 1988. The name change took place officially on June 2, 1989.
The UofN is unique in its international missionary training scope with school locations in 160 nations and at 600 locations on all continents. Because national accrediting agencies have major differences in their systems, the UofN has not, at present, applied for any one nation’s accreditation.
DN(OS)
We are called to partner with God in His mission on earth. As the body of Christ, as Jesus’ hands and feet, we are called to engage with the people in all of society: right where they are. Jesus came to tackle the root cause of our brokenness, sin, in order to heal and restore everyone and everything from the inside out for His glory – and YOU are now His agent on earth!
C&C
What if your profession is your holy calling from the Lord in healing and restoring nations? What if discipling nations begins at your workplace, through your vocation, in your sphere of society? How can you do it practically, personally, and biblically? What can you learn from Christian and mission history? Where can you start? – And what does this have to do with YWAM Europe “3.0”?
OATS
The Organic Agriculture Trainers Seminar seeks to use principles found in God’s Word and in creation to train individuals in the basics of agriculture. We desire to learn about ways of doing agriculture that will benefit creation on all levels, therefore taking part in the dominion and stewardship given to us by God.
"Through the Bible Core Course, I discovered my place in God’s story. I discovered how how He chose to be with us. This was real for the people in that time and it became very real for me now. It changes how I live everyday life and compels me to share this with others."

"I am thankful for this time set aside to do an advanced training course. As I went through this season, my conviction increased more and more that this method and environment for Bible study should be part of the life of every Christian. The course was very empowering for me to be able to study the Bible and apply it to my life and ministry. My understanding of God and his character and plan for redemption increased, and I feel this season will release me to walk out my calling in life and ministry."

"I did the School of Worship in Herrnhut and really loved the experience! The school leaders were super friendly and always helpful, while still regularly challenging us to step out of our comfort zone. The school had a good balance between practical and theory, with plenty of time to create, write and perform. We also learned from the varied local and international speakers. The memories I have from the time are really special and will stick with me for a long time. Highly recommend doing the School of Worship in Herrnhut"
