School - Practical Information
The following information is just a guide. Certain things may change slightly with details but the substance of this will remain unchanged.
Venue student accommodation: Limerick, south west Ireland.
Travel By Air: Shannon International Airport (called the gateway to Europe) is about 20 minute drive from Limerick City and the SOC Accommodation. Students flying in to Shannon airport can catch a bus easily into the city centre. Students flying in to Dublin or Cork airports can take a train or bus to Limerick station, We will try and collect those arriving into the city on trains or buses and deliver them into the accommodation. There are various ferry routes into Ireland; Rosslare being the most reasonable, Dublin the most prominent, and Foynes (Limerick) or Ringaskiddy (Cork) the closest.
Accommodation Students are housed 3 or 4 together in a unit (4 women or 4 men, or a married couple and two singles), which consists of three bedrooms (2 single and one twin/en-suite), 3 bathrooms, Kitchen (fully equipped), Lounge-dining area. Bed linen is supplied and a washing machine and tumble drier are available in the student facility. Students are expected to maintain their own apartments and are responsible for a final clean-up. A convenience store is within walking distance and larger shopping malls or Limerick city are within an easy bus ride.
Application Forms must be carefully completed online (on this site: pull down Next School - Application. Students will be notified of their acceptance to attend, following which the deposit* should be sent.
Three Week Course Fee The basic cost-price of this school will be €850. Course fee covers most meals (see ‘Meals and Fasting’ for detail) and accommodation. A *non-refundable deposit of £100 (GBP) or €100 is to be received by the beginning of June. The balance is to be presented upon arrival in July. All cheques payable to Shiloh Trust. This price is cost-price covering only basic costs and only covers your living and eating expenses. We suggest that at our Sunday morning service at LCC you can give whatever you desire or are able to give. If finance is a problem then please speak to us prior to booking. We will do our best to help. We have always done our utmost to make the school available for all with minimal charge.
When to arrive Students should arrive for the Sunday before the start of the course. An essential orientation meeting will take place on Sunday afternoon. The first Monday will be the most intensive and tiring - every day starts at 6.30 a.m. including the very first day.
Schedule The School is normally run in the month of JULY each year. It lasts three weeks or 20 days. Each day is very full with the with Saturday and Sunday being only slightly less so. Each day will begin with an hour of prayer at 6.30am, followed by an average of 9 lessons, with breaks for tea/meals, and each day is either interspersed with or ends with prayer. The prayer life and discipline of this school is essential. Students who are repeatedly late for prayer or lessons or who continually fall asleep will forfeit graduating.
Teaching The lessons will be taught by Pastor B.H Clendennen (in English) via DVD on a large screen, which has been very effective the world over, and by our European Director, Keith Malcomson who will be present at the school at all times, and visiting SOC preachers. There are about 150 lessons broken down into 19 Series. A Manual of the School work will be available for purchase otherwise students should bring their own writing materials to take notes during classes. Other languages are also available when sufficient numbers are present.
Meals and Fasting Breakfast and lunch is taken together but evening meal / supper in each apartment. The lunch meal is a very good meal we purchase in each day. During the school we will have one joint day of fasting and prayer each week — usually Wednesdays — but we would encourage you to fast more as led by the Spirit of God. There is a good bus service to plentiful eating houses within close proximity with most within walking distance. Leftovers are usually available for those who wish to stay in. Please note: Regrettably we are not able to cater for any special food requirements/allergies, but please inform us if this is a problem.
School Material Manuals will be available. Again, the School is available in a vast number of International languages.
Telephone/Internet Accommodation will have access to high speed broadband.
Graduation Service An open graduation service will be held on the final Friday evening of the course. Those who have completed the full 3 weeks will be asked to testify to the work of God in their lives near the end of the course and will receive a certificate of graduation. Please note this certificate does not give the student a qualification or any such educationally recognized qualification, but is simply a certificate of recognition of full and satisfactory attendance and fulfillment of the requirements of SOC. Family and friends are welcome to attend this service.
Dress Code Preferably no jeans for either men or women. But no problem at all if this is all you have. Women please note: no tight clothing or sleeveless tops please. Men please note: no shorts in class. Students are expected to dress neatly and modestly at all times. The graduation service is considered a special occasion and students would normally bring a suit/smarter clothes for that evening. Students from outside of Ireland should be made aware that summer weather in Ireland is not generally warm. Students should bring protective gear for rain as they will have to walk from the accommodation to the meeting building which is at least several minutes.
