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.
Meet the Funeral Director
If you are wondering how to approach Funeral Directors and get funeral work as a celebrant, join Rebecca and our guest Kelly Owen for this informative and motivational CPD session. Kelly works with her husband Tristan in their family funeral business, Tom Owen & Son Funeral Director, which was established in 1930 and is now transforming with a more modern approach.

UPDATE: We are changing how we run this session in order to include more people. It will be a more structured webinar and Q & A session.
We cannot guarantee that everyone will have an opportunity to ask questions during the Q & A so we would encourage you to email questions to [email protected] prior to the session.
This session is open to all our paying members and those in their free year of Membership. Once you book your place, you will receive a confirmation email with the session link straight away, and again nearer the time.

NOCN Coursework Study groups for ICPC Members.
We know that when it comes to doing written coursework, it can sometimes be daunting especially if you haven't been in a learning environment for some time.
While your tutor can answer any really pressing questions you have, if you would like more information about what is expected and how to go about tackling your coursework - our study groups are perfect for you.
If you would like to join a group of ICPC members and ask questions about the units you are working on, then we are very happy to answer those questions and guide you in the right direction.
Choose one of the following dates and have your questions ready.
To be eligible to book for a study group you have to have:
a) Enrolled with [email protected] and informed them that you want to start your Level 3 Certificate in Civil Celebrancy and you will be sent a submission link.
Places will be limited to twenty per session and so you will need to book your place in advance.
