LIFE AT IBQ
ACCOMMODATIONS
At IBQ, we have no on-campus residences or cafeteria, therefore we cannot take responsibility for housing students. Please note that the IBQ is not responsible for lodging, meals or transportation to and from campus. For special occasions such as week-long intensive courses, the IBQ can help an external student find low-cost accommodation for the week.

FAQ
There are several advantages. First, you have the opportunity to study theology in an evangelical school while receiving university credits recognized in both the ecclesiastical and public sectors. Second, you study theology in a school that belongs to the Pentecostal tradition, even though we remain open to different points of view, of course.
Third, our programs meet the academic requirements for the various levels of accreditation to be a minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, an organization with over 1,200 churches in Canada. Fourth, IBQ offers all its programs by distance education as well as on-site. Finally, the program « Le réseau » program is quite unique in its kind for young people who are looking for an experience that is more inspirational than academics.
Our course schedule is determined in advance by the IBQ administration based on student needs.

That depends on your goals. A certificate in theology may be sufficient for certain ministries or for an individual who simply wants to deepen his or her biblical, theological or practical knowledge. However, if you are aiming for a profession such as pastor or chaplain, a Bachelor of Theology degree would be more appropriate, or even required depending on the case.
We have several formats of distance education courses. Basically, you will need a computer and an internet connection. Some of our distance courses are « asynchronous », which means that you can progress at your own pace with deadlines to meet.
