- You will benefit from our specialist Celebrant Public Liability Insurance that covers you up to £5,000,000.
- We now run Monthly CPD sessions that are available to paying Members and those who have trained with us. We take these opportunities to bring you valuable content that will help you grow your business, stretch your creativity and help you take care of yourself as a self employed celebrant. Where appropriate these sessions are recorded and made available to watch afterwards.
- ICPC uses social media on several platforms and we encourage positive and supportive collaboration on each. Please join the social media sites so that you can liaise with other celebrants in your area, share ideas and inspire others. Make sure you are signed up to ICPC Members Page on FB as this proves incredibly useful for sharing resources or for reaching out to others for their thoughts on your current projects.
- ICPC offers professional business coaching opportunities. It is very important to us that you feel supported as you step into your new role and we are always available to offer our knowledge. You're able to contact us with your queries through our website via initial email form to start a dialogue with our team.
- We are now able to offer you one to one coaching for your Celebrancy business needs. This will focus on what you need to do as an individual to develop your business and achieve your goals. It is highly personalised and you will have a full half hour to discuss your concerns and areas you wish to improve. This is a special Members' Price of only £35 per session.
Benefits specific to our students
When you train with us the International College of Professional Celebrants supports you from the outset with the cohort WhatsApp group. Thereafter the support just keeps on coming from our dedicated team. It is all here if you need it:
- Your cohort and trainers are now organised into WhatsApp groups. Supported by your trainers, your group is a safe place in which you can share experiences, uncertainty and concerns, and receive direction and encouragement. This gives you the support you need as you transition from your training to your real life as a celebrant. It also provides you with a fantastic opportunity to create genuine connections with your peer support group.
- Once you have completed your training you have ongoing access to your trainers. Having been with you from the start of this exciting journey, they are completely invested in your success and can be emailed or called to help you with any initial teething troubles. You can ask questions or discuss decisions you have made. Your trainers are successful celebrants; they know you and how you work and learn, and they can apply these things to personalised advice.
- Your NOCN Level 3 Certificate or NOCN Platinum Double Diploma are included in your training fee and will continue to be at no additional charge for 12 months or 18 months respectively. During this time, you will be given access to the lecture videos, study notes and to your own personal tutor. Your tutor will guide and direct you to ensure that you complete your qualification within the time frame. They will be available to answer your queries and give you the encouragement you need. They will also set you achievable deadlines to keep you motivated.
