Video Seminary Courses

Browse available courses by title, or search for courses and lessons using our search the engine. Our video seminary courses can be used in a variety of ways.

• Download video, audio and/or text files of the entire lesson and play them on your computer with QuickTime Player. Downloadable files are available on each course's main page.
• Launch our custom video or audio lesson player to study the lesson in segments. The lesson players also link to related audio/video resources, and provide a lesson outline.
• Text versions of the lessons can also be viewed online in our text lesson player.
• Whichever format you choose for the lessons, make sure to use the lesson guide to enhance your understanding of the lesson. Lesson guides are available on each course's main page. The lesson guide includes time codes for each section of the lesson. This makes it easy to stop and restart, and to replay portions of the lesson. The lesson guide also includes a note-taking section, complete with a detailed lesson outline and "seed" notes on critical concepts. It also includes review questions and discussion topics (application questions) to help you make sure you've learned the lesson's content.
• The video versions of the lesson offer the fullest educational experience. The video presentations make difficult concepts easier to understand, and provide many useful visual aids to comprehension and data retention.

Courses may be viewed in any order. However, we recommend they be studied in the following order:
