Celebrant Professional Development
One of the key principles to any profession is that you never stop learning and we are determined to help you continue learning as you build your celebrancy business.
While training is part of that journey there are also moments where you need more support and expert advice as your celebrancy business grows.
Some of these opportunities on this page are available to exclusively to ICPC members but where appropriate, any celebrant in need to support and advice can access our services.
The 6 Point Plan to Celebrant Success in 2026
If you’ve ever wondered how you can pour your heart into planning a beautiful ceremony for someone else with confidence, clarity and flow… but when it comes to your own business and the year ahead you find yourself a bit overwhelmed, directionless and reactive… then this one’s for you.
We’re inviting you to a 90-minute live CPD session designed especially for celebrants who want 2026 to be the year their celebrant business starts, re-starts or grows with clarity, confidence and intention.
Wednesday 14th January 2026
6.00 - 7.30PM
Please note the slightly earlier time than our previous CPD sessions.
Free to members
And here’s the clever bit…
We’ll be using the 6 Point Plan you already know from your ICPC celebrancy training to plan your year and business… so it’s familiar, practical, and easy to remember long after the session ends.
Just like a ceremony, how you begin, what you focus on, and how you commit to your craft and business really matters.
What we’ll cover together
In this interactive session, you’ll be guided through:
- Reflecting on the previous year, and extracting what’s important from that
- Clarifying key business elements that will contribute to your success in 2026
- Setting clear, realistic goals for your business, income and wellbeing
- Exploring business mindset, confidence and visibility (without the cringe)
- Identifying how you’ll gain new business in a way that feels aligned
- Creating a simple commitment you can carry with you throughout the year
This is not a sit-and-listen session.
You’ll be writing, reflecting, sharing in the chat, and doing the work as we go, supported by a practical workbook you can return to again and again.
This session is for you if:
- You want to feel more intentional and confident about the year ahead
- You’re newly trained and wondering “what now for 2026?”
- You’re already trading but want more clarity, focus or momentum
- You’re ready to treat your celebrant business as something worth designing properly
Bring a notebook, an open mind, and a willingness to be honest with yourself.
You already know how powerful a well-designed ceremony can be.
Now it’s time to design one for your business and your year.
