NLDI-staff
is a resource-group with members from each of the initiating territories of the NLDI-program. This resource group is lead by a chairman who will have this responsibility as a percentage of his/her appointment. The other members of the group are already involved in teaching ministries in their respective territories. For member details see the website.

Lecturers
The NLDI lecturers are people with a great experience of leadership in The Salvation Army and/or with a particular academic insight into the given subject. As soon as the lecturers are confirmed they will be introduced on the website.

Venues
NLDI will use venues in the hosting territories which will meet the requirements of the course and hopefully create a good atmosphere for learning and sharing in a social and spiritual fellowship. As soon as the venues are confirmed, they will be introduced on the website.

Assignments
After each residential course, the student will be given a written assignment. The deadline for submitting the assignment will be one month prior to the next course. The deadline for the last assignment (after the fourth course) will be one month before the end of the academic year. The assignments can be written in the native language of the student or in English and should be submitted electronically. The assignments will be evaluated and commented on by the chairman. If the chairman does not read the language of the submitted document, he/she can either have the document translated, or delegate the evaluation to a colleague with the needed language-skills.

Chat-room-sessions
Parts of the NLDI-program require access to a common web-platform. During the first residential course the students will be introduced to this tool.

Purchase of literature
Since several of the books on the list of obligatory literature are available in more than one language, the most practical solution is that the student purchases the required literature in the language of his/her choice. The expenses will be refunded by the respective THQ which again will be refunded from the NLDI-budget.

Travelling-expenses
The travelling expenses from the place of appointment to the airport of the territory hosting the residential course are the responsibility of the student’s territory and will be refunded in accordance with the internal procedures of that territory. Travels from the airports to the venues will be arranged and covered by the NLDI-budget.

Dress code
Full uniform for travelling and the opening sessions of the residential courses. The rest of the week is in casual clothing.
