Marriage Celebrant Essentials

This very popular, on-line, short course provides all the essentials for starting out on the right foot as a marriage celebrant. MCE ensures a thorough knowledge of the legalities imposed by the Marriage Act and recent changes affecting celebrants. You will be well set up for applying to be appointed as an independent marriage celebrant by Internal Affairs (Births Deaths and Marriages, BDM), and dealing with the tricky legal questions that invariably arise in a public role. You will learn about designing ceremonies at the simpler end of the spectrum.

This course is ideally complemented by the Ceremony and Celebration course, also in February, which provides a thorough foundation for working as a celebrant and opens possibilities for offering a wider range of ceremonies.  The timing of these two courses dove-tails perfectly, so it is highly recommended to enrol for both if your circumstances allow.

Enrolment at least 5 weeks before each course commencement secures the earlybird rate and allows good time for pre-course student preparation. Enrolments less than one week before course commencement incur a 10% surcharge to cover the additional admin.
