Self-Study Option

The Online MTS Self-Study option is for students desiring access to our resources, content, and curriculum for  personal study and spiritual growth. This option is "hands off " and does not include the help of a facilitator, assignment submissions, or a certificate. This is our most cost effective option, but it offers no certificate and no interaction with GFM staff, facilitators, and mentors. The Self-Study option allows a student to access the content of a module for a period of 180 days from the time of payment.


Cost Per Module: $30
