Student Information
ENROLLMENT: When you return to us your first lesson's work, you will be automatically enrolled as a student in the New Zealand Correspondence School of the Bible. You may withdraw at anytime or re-enroll at any time.
STUDENT NUMBER: You will be assigned a student number upon sign up. This number, along with your name and email address, should appear on all of your work and on any correspondence.
TIME LIMITS: You may take as much or as little time as you wish to complete any of your lessons. Participating in the NZCSB does not obligate you to finish all of the courses we offer. Those wishing to study through the entire programme may do so at their own pace.
BIBLE: The only Bible to be used by the students of the NZCSB in their studies will be the King James Bible (KJB), sometimes referred to as the Authorized Version of 1611 (AV 1611). All of your lessons are keyed to this Bible. The reasons behind this position should become clear throughout your studies.
All that you will need for the first level of lessons is the Online of JOHN/ROMANS. Those within New Zealand who successfully complete all of the lessons in Level One will earn, if they desire it, a free King James Bible; this will enable the student to pursue their studies in the second level of lessons and beyond.
COST: Online studies are available through the first level of the NZCSB free of charge
Postage (both to us and return) is the only financial obligation of a New Zealand mail based student of the NZCSB.
There are no course fees or tuition fees of any kind. As a faith ministry, we rely upon the donations and contributions of those who find the school to be a particular blessing in their own lives.
PROCEDURE: On this website you have some pages with the bible on them two of these, John and Romans - are all that is necessary to finish the first level. You will need to read the assigned portion of the Bible and then read it a second time following along with the points made in your lesson. Complete the quiz and click submit we will correct your quiz and send it back to you along with the next lesson if you pass. Each lesson will either cover a portion of scripture or will be a test over previously covered material.
Level One covers the books of "John" and "Romans" and is 18 lessons in length. After Level One is successfully completed, the student will be given a certificate of completion for that level, a copy of their marks for that level, If they live in new zealand and desire it, and ways to get the first lesson of Level Two.
The student who faithfully studies through the entire NZCSB programme will earn a Diploma in Biblical Studies (Dip. Bib.S.). Such an effort will take the student through every verse of the Bible. The structure of the NZCSB programme is presented below. The NZCSB can not guarantee acceptance of your course work or diploma by any other institutions.
GRADING: All work is graded according to the following scale:
| A |

| B |
93-86% |
| C |
85-74% |
| D |
73-65% |

Most lessons will involve a 20-25 question quiz covering the Bible passages and lesson material for that lesson. Most tests will involve 50-100 questions covering the entire book of the Bible involved (or several books if they are brief). The structure and level of difficulty will gradually change as you reach the higher levels of lessons.
