Courses - Celebrant Training NZ

The Celebrants Training College programme comprises three courses which are delivered in a flexible format to fit with busy lives. These are:

The courses are stand-alone, yet complementary, so can be completed in any order, or on their own as a form of upskilling in one particular area of celebrant practice.

Each course is completed in two phases:

A weekend workshop
A series of supported assignments

Each course begins with a weekend workshop which comprises 14 hours of face-to-face teaching by one of our four trainers. Workshops for each course are held three times a year in both Auckland and in Christchurch. During the weekend, you will learn essential concepts, skills and knowledge to enable you to confidently begin celebrant practice.

Workshop content is extended by a series of assignments. Delivered via our on-line learning platform, these assignments enable you to further develop your knowledge and skills. Throughout your on-line learning, your trainers give you support and feedback.

On completion of a weekend workshop, you will be given a Certificate of Attendance
On successful completion of Courses 1 and 2, you will be awarded a Certificate in Celebrancy
On successful completion of Course 3, you will be awarded a Certificate in Funeral Celebrancy.
On successful completion of all three courses, you will be awarded a Diploma in Celebrancy.

Our programme is offered flexibly and we suggest that you tailor the programme to your own needs and career aspirations. You may choose to:
