European Training Network

ssk is part of SIL International’s worldwide training programme. Together with course offerings in other European countries it forms the European Training Network.

The basic courses offered at ssk lay the foundation for advanced study at other training centres recognized by SIL International, such as the School of Language and Scripture (SLS) at Moorlands College in the UK. The advanced courses prepare students to work in the field of language development and can be taken as part of an MA programme. Subjects offered include community engagement, linguistic analysis, literacy and Scripture engagement.
