Providing Distance Training Courses for Celebrants - Marriage - Funeral - General
(On-site courses in Melbourne and some other venues.)
The International College of Celebrancy is the world's first and original Distance Education Courses for the Training of Celebrants, established in 1995. The courses are open to all aspiring or practising Civil and Secular Celebrants, interfaith Officiants, and clergy who wish to study the non-theological nature of ceremony.
The courses are also enriching for persons who wish to bring ceremony and ritual into their own lives, within their own family, and/or within their own profession.
The training involves the nature and practice of creating, orchestrating and celebrating client approved and chosen rites of passage and ceremonies. This includes marriage or commitment, funeral, naming and other ceremonies, for secular, non-church, non-denominational, inter-denominational, inter-faith people. Trained professional celebrants are particularly sensitive and skilled to assist clients of mixed cultures and religions.
Now in its fourteenth year!
This highly successful, effective and enriching course is completely written by celebrants for celebrants. We pride ourselves that it is a course of quality, substance, and integrity. Our dedication is to Best Practice and the Pursuit of Excellence in every ceremony.
