In 1987 the then Presbyterian Training Centre moved to Shaftesbury Road Burwood, was renamed as the Presbyterian Theological Centre, Burwood and expanded its scope to include training of the laity,[5] as well as elders, missionaries, deaconesses, chaplains, church planters, and youth workers.

The dean of the college in the early years in Burwood was John Davies, who served as principal and lecturer in Hebrew and Old Testament exegesis.

Some of these include Chad Van Dixhoorn, Scott Rae, Michael Horton, D.A Carson, Timothy Witmer, Bryan Chappell, and Carl Trueman.

The college building, completed in early 2014, consists of a large community area and an auditorium which can seat over 200.

There are five purpose built class rooms and a library with over 45,000 volumes (and great views of the city of Sydney).
