Marriage Celebrant Essentials – keen to start the year with your training?
starts Wednesday 15th January 2025$310.00 incl. GST
If you are wanting to get your training underway early in the year, this very popular, on-line, short course provides all the essentials for starting out on the right foot as a marriage celebrant. It 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 or renewing your appointment with 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 and subsequent courses will develop deeper knowledge and skills. This course fills quickly so enrol as soon as you can. This course is the perfect complement to our Ceremony and Celebration course, which addresses more of the ceremonial skills that you will need.
Earlybird rate available until 11 December. Thereafter, course fee increases by $50. To enable smooth processing of enrolments and adequate time for pre-course student preparation, we require enrolments at least one week before course commencement. Enrolments after this date incur a 10% admin surcharge.
