To become a licensed Unity teacher, there are four important steps required, and in
this sequence:

Complete the Spiritual Development Program. You must also pass a written exam and a psychological examination. Graduation from the Spiritual Development Program is required before beginning work in the Leadership Development Program.

Complete the Leadership Development Program. To apply for the Leadership Development Program, you’ll need to specify your focus area—administration, adult education, pastoral care, or youth education—and obtain the recommendation of your Unity minister. (All but the 40 hours of specialty courses will be taught on the Unity Village campus.)

Meet practicum requirements and complete the Skills Demonstration Seminar. You’ll design your own practicum—including volunteer work in a Unity ministry and teaching responsibilities—in consultation with the Licensed Unity Teacher Coordinator and your Unity minister.

Be approved by the Board of Trustees of the Association of Unity Churches as a licensed Unity teacher.
