Candidates for the Roman Catholic priesthood are trained in religious facilities known as 'seminaries', where they study three years of philosophy, followed by four years of traditional Roman Rite theology. Candidates for the Anglican priesthood primarily train in residential theological colleges where they undergo two or three years' training in theology, scripture, and practical aspects related to ministry. Alternatively they can sometimes train part-time remaining parish-based and complete their studies by attending theological colleges part time for residential weekends and other courses. Priests of the Eastern Rite and Orthodox Churches may, in modern times, encounter some difficulties in that they may have to travel abroad because much of their training takes place in a monastic situation.
A man trains to be a priest in a seminary. He may also take Pre-Theology courses at a Catholic university, in preparation for the seminary. Once a priest, he continues his training through various workshops, retreats, and other programs offered by the diocese.
