Courses completed through the Southern Idaho School of Ministry (SIDSOM) that are required by the Assemblies of God for credentials meet the educational requirements of the General Council for the respective level of credential. Completion of courses, however, does not guarantee that a ministry credential will be granted, or that preferential treatment will be given to those completing the required ministerial training courses through the school of ministry. The credentialing of ministers is a process separate from the completion of the educational requirements.

SIDSOM is a non-accredited Bible institute. While endorsed by the Executive Presbytery of the General Council of the Assemblies of God for ministerial training, courses completed through the school of ministry do not automatically qualify for college credit.
