Education Agents

Alphacrucis is accepting agents now for the first time in its 60 year history, Established in 1948, Alphacrucis is one of Australia’s truly outstanding Christian tertiary institutions. Located in the geographical heart of Sydney, Australia, it has played a major role in the academic and spiritual development of thousands of Christian leaders who have shaped - and are shaping - the Church in Australia and throughout the world.

Traditionally we have only delivered courses in Ministry and Theology in both English and Korean mediums; however soon Alphacrucis will be offering Courses in the following streams.

  • English Studies
  • Business Studies

We are now seeking Agent applications for agents who wish to enroll students in our current courses or in the courses to come. This will be the first time in our 60 years of operation that we will be accepting agents to work with SCC and for this reason we are looking for limited Agents to work with.

Once you have read and agree with Alphacrucis policy and procedure in dealing with agents, download the Agent application form to complete and return to me with any Additional information you may want to supply.

An agent agreement will then be forwarded, subject to reference checks.
