# Courses ## Transform your calling: Courses designed to equip and inspire. [ Upcoming Courses ](#up-coming-courses) ## Discover Training for Your Calling **Discipleship Training School (DTS)** is the foundational program for all YWAM training. All students are required to complete DTS before pursuing any other YWAM courses. DTS is designed to deepen your relationship with Jesus through immersive discipleship, teaching, community life, and Outreach. **Beyond DTS**, many students choose to continue learning through additional courses that build on the DTS foundation and support further growth in their faith. These courses focus on areas such as leadership, biblical studies, and ministry, and are offered in a modular format for those seeking further training. At YWAM Lausanne, you can explore two **Extended DTS formats**. Some students choose a context-based DTS that emphasizes hands-on mission and cross-cultural engagement, while others choose an extended program that combines DTS with additional Bible School training for deeper grounding in Scripture and discipleship. These Extended DTS Programs include a full Discipleship Training School within a broader training experience, shaped by either location or focus. We also offer courses in French, Korean and Spanish, as well as online courses for those needing a more flexible approach to learning, and seminars for those with limited time. ## What is Discipleship Training School? ### Discover a life-changing journey of faith and purpose. ### The Journey Starts with DTS **Discipleship Training School** is the foundational program required for all students before pursuing any other YWAM courses.
