In addition to providing an understanding of cultural variation and sensitivities in public statements of lifecycle events, this course prepares celebrants to plan and conduct public ceremonies of grief, such as funerals and divorce, and ceremonies of recognition, such as weddings, namings and majority. The course is designed to provide the training required to practise as a civil celebrant in Australia.
The course is available to applicants with a bachelors degree or equivalent education and experience, or those who have completed the Faculty Certificate in Civil Ceremonies with grades of credit average (such applicants normally gain 50% credit towards the graduate diploma).
Students complete 48 points comprised of the following units:
As each unit in the Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies has an assessment component in performance and presentation skills, all off-campus learning students must attend either one weekend seminar at Monash University or present a video tape of the activity to be assessed, or participate in a video conference for each unit. Off-campus learning is normally only available for part-time enrolment.
