I have begun the PFI program in long Island NY. I know the diocese of Rochester and San Francisco provide this program. Has anyone been through this program? I would appreciate some feed back.
 
Got it.

The Archdiocese of Detroit has something similar to certify Catechical Leaders
Undergraduate Theology and General Studies:

Prerequisite Courses: (Basic Diploma in Pastoral Ministry)

CLA153 Rhetoric (3)
CLA 161 Introduction to Oral Communication (3)
Introduction to Psychology (3)
or
Introduction to Sociology (3)
PHL 230 History of Philosophy I (3)

(Students are also required to participate in three Formation Days on Discernment, Theological Reflection, and Spiritual Direction.)

To be a Director of Religious Education, the Archdiocese requires a Masters of Art in Pastorial Studies (MAPS)

I am a Aspirant in Formation to the Deaconate, so I take many of the same courses.

All of these classes are taken at Sacred Heart Major Seminary
 
Sounds similiar to the “New Wine Ministry Formation Program” started in Kansas City.
