What age can you start training to be a vicar?

There is no specific age requirement to start training to be a vicar, but candidates typically begin their training in their late twenties or thirties after completing their education and gaining some life experience. In the Church of England, for example, candidates usually need to have a degree and may undergo a selection process, including a discernment period. Some may begin training earlier if they feel called to ministry, but they must meet educational and personal criteria set by their denomination.
