Since the founding of the organization, our intention has been to keep the registration fees for both the Workshops on Biblical Exposition and the Online Courses as low and affordable as possible for the working pastor. And we believe, compared to similar organizations and conferences for ministry leaders, that we have been successful. Please contact us should the fee policy have a detrimental effect on your ability to participate in the Workshops on Biblical Exposition or the Online Courses. It is not our intention to exclude anyone on the basis of their ability to pay the registration or tuition fee alone. And while we cannot promise that we will have the ability to revise this policy on an individual basis or make exceptions, we would like the opportunity to try.
WORKSHOPS ON BIBLICAL EXPOSITION
The Workshops on Biblical Exposition in English held in the US or Canada have registration rates as listed. A cancellation fee of $25 will be withheld for cancellations made more than 30 days prior to the start date of the Workshop. A cancellation fee of $100 will be withheld for cancellations made within 30 days of the Workshop start date. Online Workshops on Biblical Exposition have a registration rate of $39, of which $10 is nonrefundable.
Additionally, partial participation is not permitted. Our pedagogical commitments in the small group sessions as well as the cumulative relationship between the small group and plenary sessions, full participation is required. Extenuating circumstances should be discussed with the Charles Simeon Trust and exceptions will be granted very rarely.
One of the aims of the Workshops is to train preachers/teachers from diverse churches within a region. Since space at some Workshops is limited, we reserve the right to reject registrations from churches/organizations who already have five people registered. After registration is full, we will manage the waitlist considering several factors, including order of registration, church representation, church role, and leadership needs. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
ONLINE COURSES
The registration fees for Online Course are as listed. Each student will have access to their Online Course for 12 months from the date of enrollment. Additional add-on fees such as the various “seminary credit” options are completely nonrefundable as, in each case, those fees are passed along to another organization (e.g. the seminary). No exceptions are possible.

Any changes within 30 days of the Workshop start date will be considered a cancellation, and you will be refunded the registration fee, less the $100 cancelation fee.
