If you are involved with the ordination process, consider the benefits that the NBGE offers. The NBGE can expedite the language competence portion of the ordination process. With the NBGE there is no exam to prepare or grade, it is all performed automatically and there is a standard to use from year to year.
Since pastors can take the exam as often as they want (without seeing the same exam twice), the NBGE reduces some of the anxiety that can surround an orientation language exam. A nice improvement would be to require ordained pastors to regularly pass the exam to maintain their skills. Using an exam that may be retaken changes the focus of the process from merely fulfilling a requirement, to learning and advancing one's skills.
The NBGE also functions as a learning tool, by showing the answers of all missed questions. Pastors can improve their skills by taking the exam multiple times. It also has a place for the examinee to bookmark questions and to write personal comments about each question to preserve initial thoughts about difficult questions.
With the National Biblical Greek Exam you have the tools for learning and accountability to improve your Greek skills and start realizing the benefits as you labor in the Word.
All of these benefits are produced without any additional work from an instructor, administration or committee. So now the technological power of the National Biblical Greek Exam can start working for your ordination process. Please contact us with any questions or go ahead and simply start requiring the National Biblical Greek Exam.
