The Celebrant Foundation & Institute Revamps Curriculum for Training and Certifying Ceremony Professionals

With more families turning to celebrants to co-create and officiate their life ceremonies the need for ceremony professionals is on the rise

The Institute provides Gold Standard of Study in Ceremony, Preparing the Newest Class of Students for Vibrant and Lucrative Careers as Certified Life-Cycle Celebrants®

The Celebrant Foundation & Institute’s (CF&I) newest class of students recently began their seven-month online ceremony coursework, the first to experience CF&I’s revamped curriculum centered at even more thoroughly preparing students for professional success in the growing field of celebrancy. With more families turning to celebrants to co-create and officiate their weddings, funerals and other significant life ceremonies, the need for ceremony professionals is on the rise. The CF&I is at the forefront of filling this void, as the nation’s preeminent, online, educational institute teaching and certifying people as modern day ceremony professionals called Life-Cycle Celebrants®.

The Institute offers rigorous, seven-month, celebrant certification programs that are conveniently taught online in real-time by experienced celebrant faculty. Through the program, students explore the art of ritual, ceremony, world and faith traditions, ceremonial writing and public speaking. They graduate as certified as Life-Cycle Celebrants® trained to perform and co-create personalized ceremonies that reflect the needs, beliefs and values of the people they are honoring.

“Since CF&I’s founding in 2001, we’ve always taken great pride in being the gold standard of study in ceremony and ritual,” said Charlotte Eulette, International Director of CF&I. “Our dedicated faculty, most of whom are experienced Celebrant themselves, continuously work to enhance our curriculum, so that it reflects changes in society and provides just the right balance of ceremonial theory and real-life business practice. Our latest realignment ensures our students leave the program with a deep understanding of the theory behind ceremony and ritual and the hands-on knowledge to be successful professional Celebrants in their communities,” she continued.
