Course description

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the training required to practise as a civil celebrant in Australia. It provides a point of entry to the Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies for people who are motivated and have advanced their education through a route other than university study. The course focuses on cultural variation and sensitivities in the conduct of public ceremonies associated with lifecycle events.

Course structure

Students complete 24 points including one core unit, and one elective chosen from the list below:

Core unit

CVL4010 Rites of passage: culture and celebrating life cycle events (semester one only)

Electives

CVL4020 Life cycle events: literature, music and life stories
CVL4030 Celebrant and client: legal, ethical and personal issues

As each unit in the Faculty Certificate 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.
