Student Review
As an established and experienced funeral celebrant who has led thousands of ceremonies over the last 15 years, I wanted to extend my training to offer alternative funeral ceremonies.
The training I received was detailed and relevant and I highly recommend this course if you want to become an alternative or a spiritual funeral celebrant.

Student Review
Thank you so much to Ellie of Choice Celebrant Training for an informative, interesting and productive Celebrant Refresh Training Course. I was thoroughly engaged throughout the training sessions and in awe of Ellie’s knowledge of all areas of celebrancy and her impeccable skills. After working as a celebrant for a number of years, it was the perfect time for the Refresh, and I now have lots of new ideas as a result of Ellie’s input, coaching and professionalism.

Student Review
I did my original celebrant training over 4 years ago but due to the pandemic never launched the business so the idea got parked and I persuaded myself I couldn’t do it. I came across Choice Celebrant Training by accident and saw they did a Celebrant Refresher course – I took the plunge and signed up! Ellie has been brilliant!! She has reminded me why I wanted to be a Celebrant in the first place, gone through a couple of gaps in my original training, shown me some alternative options for the types of ceremonies I can do and, most importantly given me back the confidence to get out there and be a Celebrant! I would highly recommend Choice Celebrant Training to anyone looking to become a celebrant or wanting to refresh their current skills.
