Non-Award
This is a professional development short course for celebrants utilising an online, blended learning format.
Part one: Self-paced reading and activities via GordonOnline. To be completed before class (approx 2 hours). Login instruction provided in the enrolment confirmation.
Part two: Zoom virtual Classroom (2 hours)
The course is designed to help you refresh two key aspects of your celebrancy practice - successful ceremony writing and delivery - so you can feel more confident in the ceremonies you perform.
As professional celebrants, we can design, write, and deliver our ceremonies in a range of styles to meet the requirements of our clients. While our professional registration relates specifically to solemnising marriages, many celebrants also have a funeral practice and offer other ceremonies such as renewals and commitments. We will look at the writing and design of ceremony scripts, ways we can tailor and personalise our ceremonies, and how to ensure our ceremonies are inclusive and appropriate.
