The CHC41015 Certificate IV in Celebrancy is the nationally recognised qualification for people who want to work as celebrants in Australia. The course focuses mainly on weddings and covers the skills needed to work with couples, plan and deliver ceremonies, meet legal requirements, and complete marriage documentation correctly. It also includes broader skills relevant to other celebrancy services.

The CHC41015 Certificate IV in Celebrancy prepares you to plan and deliver ceremonies, with a strong focus on marriage ceremonies. You will learn how to consult with clients, design and write personalised ceremonies, present to audiences, understand legal requirements, and complete required marriage and other documentation.

Many students complete the CHC41015 Certificate IV in Celebrancy in 6 months, although completion time varies depending on experience, ability, routine and practical assessment arrangements.

Students may complete closer to the standard 6-month course schedule where they have relevant life, work, volunteering, public speaking, customer service, administration, event, business or prior study experience.

The course is self-paced and includes a flexible enrolment period. Extensions are available for a published monthly fee.

Yes. Some students aim to complete in 6 months. This is most realistic for students who study consistently, complete assessments steadily and already have relevant experience in communication, writing, public speaking, administration, client service, events, business, volunteering or similar areas.

Completion in 6 months is not guaranteed. Students must complete all required learning, assessment tasks, practical ceremony tasks, documentation and evidence requirements to the required standard.

Students complete theory and practical assessment tasks. Theory assessment includes activities such as short-answer questions, case studies, projects, research tasks, document preparation and planning tasks.

Students also research, plan and deliver 9 simulated ceremonies, including 5 weddings based on specified client requirements. These practical tasks help students develop the skills needed to consult with clients, prepare ceremony materials, deliver ceremonies professionally and complete required celebrancy documentation.

Yes. Practical assessment is a core part of the CHC41015 Certificate IV in Celebrancy. Students are required to complete a range of practical tasks based on real celebrancy work, such as conducting client meetings, designing ceremonies, preparing scripts and materials, presenting ceremonies, and completing marriage-related documentation and records. Many of these are recorded and submitted as part of the assessment process.

Yes. Marriage celebrancy is a major focus of the course.

This course meets the qualification requirement set by the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department for people seeking to apply to become a Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant. Other requirements must also be met. Students should review the current Attorney-General’s Department requirements and make their own enquiries as to their eligibility before enrolling.

This is a wonderful community that inspires and carries such a wonderful energy which is inviting. Genuinely, they provide the best support system that not only guides and instructs you, but communicates to you in the most kindest, respectful manner. Ive had many inconveniences which have caused miner issues but not only was I offered information on how to navigate the situations, I was provided with support from the whole community! Not only do I highly recommend to join them because of what I?ve stated but they are also empathetic, lovely people who support uplifting and compassionate practices in their day to day lives, individuals ideas and who you are as a person alone.

Just finished my Teacher Aide Combo course and got my certificate! 🎓 It took a little longer than expected since I was 60 when I started, and I almost gave up. But the amazing ITAC staff encouraged me to finish and found a solution for me. They were incredibly helpful and always willing to lend a hand! 🙏

I am currently studying through the Institute of Teacher Aide Courses (ITAC) while completing my childcare placement. My experience with ITAC has been very positive from the beginning. The course materials are easy to follow, and the staff are always helpful and supportive whenever I need assistance.

I recently had my workplace assessment with my trainer, Amy Ferguson, and it was a wonderful experience. I was quite nervous beforehand, but Amy's friendly smile and warm personality immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She was easy to talk to, professional, and provided valuable guidance regarding my studies and future career goals.

Amy was thorough in her assessment while also being supportive and encouraging. After the visit, my nominated supervisor and other staff members at my placement centre also commented on how lovely and professional she was.

I highly recommend ITAC to anyone considering a career in education or early childhood education. The course is well organised, easy to navigate, and the support from trainers like Amy makes the learning experience enjoyable and rewarding.

Thank you, ITAC and Team for your support and encouragement throughout my studies!
