International Training in Apologetics

Build a stronger foundation for your faith—and learn to explain it with confidence.

The International Training in Apologetics (ITIA) is a 16-week online course that introduces Christians to foundational apologetics concepts and equips them to engage questions about the truth of Christianity.

Through live sessions on Zoom and a flipped classroom model, you’ll explore the reasons for Christian belief, consider common objections, and develop the confidence to have thoughtful, gracious conversations about your faith.

Whether you’re new to apologetics or looking to strengthen your foundation, ITIA will help you think more deeply, respond more wisely, and point others toward Christ.

Learn to respond to questions and objections about the claims of scripture

Learn through a flipped classroom model

Before each live Zoom session, you’ll work through assigned materials, such as readings, lectures, and other course resources. Live class time is then dedicated to discussion, questions, interaction, and application.

This approach allows you to learn at your own pace while making space for meaningful engagement with instructors and fellow students from around the world.

Who is ITIA for?

ITIA is designed for Christians who want to:

-Understand the reasons for their faith

-Engage thoughtfully with challenging questions

-Strengthen their biblical and intellectual foundation

-Equip themselves for ministry, teaching, or evangelism

-Share their faith with greater confidence

No prior experience in apologetics is required. Only a willingness to learn and engage seriously with the foundations of Christian belief.

“My introduction to apologetics through ITIA didn’t just equip me with knowledge...it inspired me to dream about what apologetics could look like in Africa. That experience became one of the seeds that led me to start an African centered apologetics training program.”

Dr. Moses Ndagano
President Apologetics Uganda
