Marriage Celebrant Essentials
starting Thursday 27 March 2025$320.00 incl. GST
Join this very popular, on-line, short course for aspiring marriage celebrants. THIS COURSE FILLS QUICKLY! It provides all the essentials and 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. For those keen to stay in the flow and move into ceremonies which are fully personalised, this particular MCE dovetails perfectly with the more advanced Marriage Celebrant Mastery starting 15 April.
Secure your enrolment in both courses early to benefit from the lowest course fees.
Note: MCE Earlybird discount (saving you $50 off the full price of $370 is available until 27 February) Enrolments received within the week before course commencement incur a 10% surcharge to cover the additional admin required.
