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.
Networking is a very effective way to promote your celebrancy business, but it can be pretty intimidating, especially if you're unprepared. You don't know what to expect, whom to talk to, or how to start a conversation. This lack of preparation can lead to some serious social anxiety, and it's one of the main reasons why people avoid networking events altogether.
Don’t panic. We are here to help you and in our next C.P.D session, we will be exploring the benefits of networking, the secrets to effective networking, how to make sure you are prepared , what to say, and how to write an impactful elevator pitch.
Join our Effective Networking session and get yourself out there!

An Introduction to Death Doula
Tuesday 28th May 2024
As our attitudes around dying become more open, interest in the role of the ‘death doula , a companion to support people through the dying process, is growing. We answer some common questions about the work of death doulas, or soul midwives as they're sometimes called, and how they support people at the end of life. This fascinating insight provided by ICPC Celebrant Sheena Wyllie, will give you a greater understanding of the death and grieving process, and how that touches us all. She will give you insight into her role as a Soul Midwife, and how this has enhanced her role as a Celebrant.
