With the current school system acknowledging the need for chaplains, the association strongly encourages ordained ministers, teachers, and college students to sign up for the training program and get their chaplaincy accreditation.

The program is divided into three levels:

Level 1 training is for ordained ministers or teachers who need little training. The NSCA assists these candidates with placement and re-certification, especially for ministers who already have a license from another country or state. The applicants will get briefings about the association's core values and be introduced to a support group to help them establish their ministry.

Level 2 training is a 48-hour course that is recommended for candidates who do not have licenses or credentials but have experience teaching or working with youth groups. It is a two-month course with six hours of classes every week. The course is equivalent to one college credit or three CEU credits, accredited by Oklahoma Christian University.

Level 3 training is a one-year course for candidates without work experience. It is equivalent to one year of college and can be used toward a bachelor’s or associate’s degree. Candidates who fall into this category only need to show a high school diploma or a GED.

Regardless of training level, all applicants will undergo background checks with the police, Interpol, and the FBI. Their social media accounts will also be screened. The NSCA states they hold their chaplains to the highest moral and ethical standards to ensure that they can counsel impressionable young minds.

“Our nation’s youth need chaplaincy, and they provide the spiritual counsel students seek. School chaplain duties include but are not limited to prayer, counsel, and spiritual care for the school staff, the students, and their families. Chaplaincy expands the spiritual and mental health intersection in secular and public institutions,” a representative said.

With the NSCA chaplaincy training program, you do not need to take a gap year and delay getting your degree. You also start earning a teacher's salary soon after you get your chaplaincy credentials, even if you are still in college.
