NOCN accredited qualifications
We are a registered training centre with the National Open College Network, NOCN. NOCN is one of the United Kingdom’s most respected awarding organisations, regulated by Ofqual and recognised both nationally and internationally. It has approved centres across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
To find out more about the accreditation available through NOCN, please visit our NOCN information page.
Please note, you can complete and run a celebrant business without the NOCN approval so this is not a necessary component to the AMC accreditation. As this is an external awarding body, there are additional registration and completion costs involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
No prior celebrancy experience is needed. Our training covers everything you need to know. Skills in public speaking, writing, or working with people are helpful but not required - we'll help you develop all the skills you need to succeed.
