\n\t\t\tLet’s give you more info!\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow does the course work?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The AMC certification in Celebrancy is a nationally and internationally recognised accreditation that takes you module by module through the training. Some of the training is self study, some working alongside our trainers (who are also established celebrants) and some group work. You are never left alone and we will be by your side taking you through the learning. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow long does the course take?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

This is all dependent on how much time you have to give to the training. There are modules to complete and between 24-48 hours in between module work to receive feedback from your mentor.\u00a0 Many complete the course anywhere between\u00a0 3-12 weeks.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan I train if I am based in Scotland?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes absolutely, we train students from Scotland. As this is online based, we can train from the comfort of your own home. This certification is recognised in Scotland, however it is separate from the legal aspects of marriage. In order to do this, your couples will need to attend the registry office to sign, or you can top up your certification to become a solemniser. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t Is it possible to train when I am based in Ireland?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We train celebrants from across Europe. Most likely your couples will complete their legal aspects to the marriage in their home country and have you officiate the ceremony where you are based. This is very common and a beautiful offering for destination couples and local alike.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tAm I too old to start a new career?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Not at all! We have students train from 25-75! There is no set age for celebrancy and clients out there to suit everyone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan I train alongside a full time job?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, absolutely. You can train at your own pace in your free time. That’s the beauty of an online course!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan I do all 3 courses at the same time?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You can absolutely enrol in all 3 at the same time (bonus there cost wise!) however we recommend you start with one course at a time. We don’t combine our courses into one as we believe all 3 aspects of celebrancy are different and there is so much detail to learn from one to the other.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWill I be able to legally officiate weddings?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In the UK, not currently. The legal signing of the licence is done with 2 witnesses in front of a registrar. This then gives couples the chance to have their ceremony wherever they choose and with any content they would like also.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tIs this a nationally recognised certification?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We offer our own AMC accreditation. There is no current regulatory body in the UK or Europe to certify celebrants so we have put together our own nationally recognised certification to cover all aspects of celebrancy and to get you out there running your dream business.<\/p>\n

We are also a registered training centre for the National Open College Network, NOCN. During your training, you will be offered the opportunity to update your certification with the AMC and complete the following:<\/p>\n
