Formation in the Beda for all students lasts four years. The full four years are important for an integrated and complete formation.
A student cannot enter into formal preparation for the priesthood without the agreement and support of his Diocesan Bishop or Religious Superior.
Each student at the Beda is supported throughout his formation by his Diocesan Bishop and Vocations Director or by his Religious Superior.
Full support is also given throughout the four years by the College formation and teaching staff
.
The courses at the Beda are designed to give a thorough and balanced preparation for priesthood, taking into account the age and experience of each student.
