Are you wondering what a celebrant does, what makes a good ceremony, or how to become a celebrant? This course gives a realistic preview of the role, explores a range of ceremonies, and starts to build essential skills. It is recommended as the first course towards the Certificate in Celebrant Studies (although other entry points are possible). You will gain a firm understanding of the nature of ceremony and ritual and the role of the celebrant in Aotearoa-New Zealand, build essential writing and delivery skills, and receive a framework for the planning and design of a broad range of contemporary ceremonies.
Weekend 15 and 16 February 9.00am – 4:00pm each day and
Weekend 22 and 23 February 9:00am – 1.00pm each day ie the course runs across two weekends
Note: We are delivering this programme fully by Zoom, but be assured that we have mastered how to keep you so engaged that time will fly on Zoom. Feedback from past participants shows that you build both skills and a professional network and have fun in the process!
Early enrolment is recommended – the discounted earlybird course fee closes 6 weeks before the course starts (ie enrol by 4 January). To enable smooth processing of enrolments and adequate time for pre-course student preparation, we need enrolments at least 2 weeks before course commencement. Enrolments after this date incur a 10% surcharge.
