Marriage Celebrant Essentials
starting Tuesday 15 October$360.00 incl. GST
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 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.
This course is ideally complemented by the Ceremony and Celebration course in September, which provides a thorough foundation for working as a celebrant and opens possibilities for offering a wider range of ceremonies. This course provides a fuller planning and design process for all bespoke personalised ceremonies. The timing of these two courses dove-tails perfectly, so hurry if you want to grab a place in both.
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.

Get enriching experience and build your collegial network at the same time!
It is beneficial if you have already completed the Ceremony and Celebration paper, although practising celebrants and others with experience in the industry and/or with loss and grief may also apply.
