Ministerial Training School

The Ministerial Training School is an 8½ week intense bible based educational programme for single elders and ministerial servants of Jehovah's Witnesses. The school covers many areas including detailed bible study, public speaking skills, teaching, preaching and organisational arrangements. [ "A School Whose Graduates Benefit People Worldwide". (2006-Nov-15). "The Watchtower", p. 10 ]

Students of the school are generally assigned back to their home congregations but are often offered the opportunity to serve in a more needy congregation or area, as and when the need arises. Usually this is in their home country but can sometimes be abroad. They are sometimes used in the capacity of travelling overseers, assigned to help groups of congregations. ["Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimers of God's Kingdom" p. 20 "Traveling Overseers—Fellow Workers in the Truth " © Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania 1993 | "A circuit overseer is assigned to care for a circuit with about 18 to 25 congregations. He visits each congregation in the circuit about twice a year and after two or three years is assigned to another circuit. In this way the congregations can benefit from the varying experience and abilities of different circuit overseers."]
