I am proud to have trained with the AMC.
I highly recommend training with the AMC. Jennifer and her team are so helpful and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning at my own pace and found the content brilliant and really well structured. I found it exciting to be learning from someone who has so much proven experience.
SARAH, AMC GRADUATE
The course content is brilliant and covers everything you need.
My tutor supported me throughout the course with 1-2-1 video calls and unlimited Q&A when I needed it. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an up to date and complete course on celebrancy. I’ve already got my website up and running, and the bookings are coming in!
SOPHIE L, AMC GRADUATE
Training with the AMC was the best thing I have ever done.
The course was all online so you could learn at your own pace, and you have access to so many training materials that were packed with content. The Academy is very forward thinking, modern and fresh and the community you become part of is very supportive and encouraging. You are never left on your own and are assigned a mentor to guide you through the course and give you feedback which is invaluable. I could not recommend the AMC enough!
Sam Jenkins, AMC GRADUATE

NOCN Level 3 Certificate in Civil Celebrancy in the UK

The NOCN Level 3 certificate level qualification will need to be completed alongside the Wedding and Naming Training. The Level 3 Diploma can be completed with our Funeral Celebrant training course only.

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.
