ACIM.TSC is the Academy’s Teacher of Students Certification, identified as the 1st-degree certification addition and amendment to A Course In Miracles Intensive. Its stated purpose is training to teach students of A Course In Miracles.

The curriculum uses the Manual for Teachers as a central text while requiring quizzes, written essays, video lectures, an application form, and completion assignments. This makes it distinct from simply taking a discussion course about the Manual.

Yes. The current public description explicitly says that you must have access to the A Course In Miracles Intensive to do this program. The certification is presented as an addition to the Intensive rather than a stand-alone replacement for it.

If you do not already have access, begin with the Intensive enrollment page. The separate A Course In Miracles Experience and Manual for Teachers courses do not substitute for this stated ACIM.TSC requirement.

The 1st-degree page states that you must have access to the Intensive; it does not explicitly say on this page that all 365 lessons must already be completed before entering ACIM.TSC.

That distinction changes at the 2nd degree: the Teacher of Teachers page explicitly requires completion of the entire Intensive and successful completion of the Teacher of Students program. This page therefore does not add a completion requirement that the 1st-degree listing itself does not state.

The separate Manual for Teachers course is a 31-lesson discussion of the Manual’s introduction and twenty-nine sections. It has no stated prerequisite and is designed for understanding and spiritual application whether or not you intend to teach formally.

ACIM.TSC is the certification pathway. It requires access to the Intensive and adds assessment and demonstration through part quizzes, written essays, recorded video lectures, an application form, and completion assignments.

The current course lists 74 lessons and 5.5 hours of video content. The curriculum is organized into an Introduction, twelve numbered parts, and Completion Assignments.

The twelve parts parallel lesson ranges across the 365-lesson Intensive structure while distributing the Manual for Teachers sections and repeated assessment tasks throughout the program.

The requirements intentionally become more substantial over time. Parts 1–3 use 300-word essays and five-minute video lectures. Parts 4–6 move to 600 words and seven minutes; Parts 7–9 to 900 words and ten minutes; and Parts 10–12 to 1,200 words and fifteen minutes.

The Completion Assignments culminate in a 2,000-word essay and a twenty-minute video lecture, followed by the final listed assignments.

Yes. The course currently marks the first five introductory lessons as free previews: Introduction to Certification, A Course In Miracles Intensive (ACIMi) Course, Teacher Certification Degrees, Quiz/Written & Video Essays, and The Manual for Teachers Introduction.

The page also advertises “Preview for Free,” and the preview button on this redesign uses the existing free-trial enrollment route.

The current choices are $3,333.33 as the Full Value price, $333.33 as the Discounted Price, and $36.63 per month as a subscription offer.

All three routes point into the same 1st-degree certification course. This redesign preserves the exact checkout destinations rather than calculating or inventing an alternative payment amount.

The public course presents ACIM.TSC as an Open & Clear spiritual/religious certification for teaching students of A Course In Miracles. It does not state that the credential is a government teaching license, academic degree, state licensure, or authorization to practice a regulated profession.

It should therefore be understood within the Academy’s spiritual, religious, educational, and devotional context unless additional verified credential information is separately provided.

The Academy currently lists a 2nd-degree Teacher of Teachers program and a 3rd-degree Creator of Teachers program. These are separate courses with separate requirements.

The 2nd-degree page is application-only and explicitly requires completion of the entire Intensive, successful completion of Teacher of Students, and open, active communication with Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne. The Academy describes the 3rd degree as following Teacher of Teachers and focusing on developing a unique ACIM course in partnership with the Academy.

A Course In Miracles uses Christian terminology, but the broader Open & Clear ACIM programs frame the work as experiential rather than requiring denominational belief. The emphasis is on practice, direct spiritual experience, and personal realization.

Terms such as “God,” “Christ,” forgiveness, and Truth can therefore be approached through sincere application and the spiritual understanding meaningful to the student, while still studying the Course’s own language carefully enough to communicate it responsibly.

No. Completing assignments or receiving a spiritual certification does not guarantee awakening, ascension, healing, income, professional success, student enrollment, or any other particular outcome.

The program is offered within a spiritual, religious, educational, and devotional context. Individual experience varies, and spiritual study does not replace qualified medical, psychological, legal, financial, academic, licensing, or emergency guidance where those forms of expertise are needed.
