Chaplaincy Levels 5 and 6 qualifications consist of competencies that an individual must achieve to enable him/her to be certified as a chaplain. The two levels shall be examined by CDACC.
A chaplain is a priest or a minister who can demonstrate competency in administering to the spiritual needs of persons from diverse faith backgrounds or no faith background, within a given institution, including but not limited to: hospitals, schools, colleges, universities, business/corporate settings, NGOs, sports organizations, airports, police departments, fire departments, military, correctional institutions, intelligence agencies, government bodies, etc.
Therefore, a chaplain is a uniquely-trained person who can carry out these responsibilities. These responsibilities comprise 30 units of competency training in Chaplaincy Diploma level.
