The Academy of Modern Celebrancy Arvostelua 

Four years into my journey as a celebrant in NW Montana, I can truly credit The Academy of Modern Celebrancy with setting me onto a right path with both confidence in ceremony creation and in the marketing/business aspect of offering this service to my community. I now have a bustling seasonal practice in a spot known for marvelous destination elopements and weddings and have enjoyed the growth of this business with ease and joy.

Training with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. The course was beautifully structured, practical, and deeply inspiring. What makes AMC stand out is the humanity behind it... real mentors who care, honest feedback, and a community that celebrates your individuality. My mentor Tara was an incredible guide, helping me turn my multilingual, cross-cultural background into a real strength. AMC didn’t just teach me how to be a celebrant, it helped me find my voice and my niche.

This course was very useful for me, specifically the mentor phase. It was more thorough and in depth than I thought it would be and it gave me the flexibility to work around my full-time job and other social commitments. Be prepared for strong critiques and feedback, and don't step into this as lightly as I did!

Every step of the way someone is there watching over you and guiding you forward, willing you to succeed. Feedback is always constructive and aimed at helping you be the best.

Completing the Funeral Celebrant Course with the Academy of Modern Celebrancy has been an incredibly positive and empowering journey. The online course was well structured, engaging, and easy to follow — full of practical guidance and real examples that helped build my confidence step by step.

I was especially grateful for the mentorship from Sonal Dave, whose support made all the difference. She was patient, encouraging, and gave constructive feedback that helped me grow and refine my skills. Her warmth and professionalism turned what could have been a daunting process into an enjoyable and deeply meaningful experience.

I highly recommend AMC to anyone considering becoming a celebrant. The combination of excellent online materials and genuine one-to-one mentorship makes this course truly outstanding.

I have really enjoyed the course, I have had excellent support throughout from both mentors and other students.
I did struggle with the technical side but had lots of support and have learned so much through this experience.

I have just completed my training with AMC as a Funeral Celebrant.
I found that the course was really well structured, taking you through step-by-step the key areas of becoming a funeral celebrant, working with families, understanding why a funeral is needed, the types of ceremonies you may decide to conduct in the future, how to write scripts - insight into what goes on behind-the-scenes and in-front-of-an-audience.
I would recommend to anyone with drive and passion for something different and worthwhile.

I've recently completed my the Naming Celebrant course. This was the third course I have completed with AMC and means that I have now achieved my Master Celebrant Certification.

The training, support and community that i have built by choosing the AMC as my training provider, are a a major factor in my success.

From the content and materials to the mentoring, support and guidance, the training I have received was such high quality, that I feel I am totally set up for success.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend (and I already have!) the AMC to anyone looking to train as a celebrant!

I enrolled in the Wedding celebrancy course back in February and passed my final assessment a few days ago.
I have had a wonderful learning experience and really enjoyed the whole process.
It was easy to understand, to use the tech involved and the thourough information that was given.
The support for the course in the Facebook groups, the zoom calls and the mentorship is non stop, in a good way!
Not at any point did I feel like I couldn't ask something, communication is quick and detailed and it's one of the very few courses that I felt completely supported in my learning journey and beyond.
I am now excited to put my skills to the test and make memories with future couples and their special day.
Highly recommend the AMC to anyone thinking about a new career.

AMC are the reason that I get to finally do my dream job!

Their course is accessible, informative and absolutely drives you to want to learn more about celebrancy and the culture behind it.

The mentors are skilled, reliable and really good at getting to know you, your needs, and helping you work to your strengths whilst supporting your weaknesses.

I honestly couldn't recommend them enough.

I have had a great experience with AMC. I highly recommend and I am so grateful I was recommended AMC also.
The company does a lot of things right including amazing support, great documentation and interesting and thought provoking coursework.
The online platform / hub is the only thing I feel could do more work. But it’s fine once you get the hang of it. Having a mentor for the last module is such a brilliant added bonus to this course. Thanks for having me AMC

I’m incredibly happy with my experience at the Academy of Modern Celebrancy. The course materials are exceptionally professional - clearly structured, easy to follow and packed with valuable information. The videos are not only engaging but also highly practical, helping bring the learning to life in a really accessible way.

What truly sets AMC apart, though, is the support from the mentors. They are knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely invested in your success. Whether it’s feedback, guidance or simply encouragement, their support has made a huge difference in my confidence and development as a celebrant.

I wholeheartedly recommend AMC to anyone considering a career in celebrancy. It’s a comprehensive, supportive and inspiring place to learn.

I’ve just completed my Naming Ceremony course and received my certificate—I'm absolutely buzzing! A huge thank you to the incredible team at AMC. Now I’m diving into the Wedding Celebrant course, and I have to say—AMC is amazing! The support, the helpful Facebook communities, and the clarity of the modules make it all such a great learning experience. You can study at your own pace, and there's so much valuable content to soak in.
The course is easy to follow, and the mentors are fantastic—always there to guide you through your self-study journey.
If you're thinking about a career change and love the idea of helping people celebrate life’s special moments, I highly recommend becoming a Celebrant with AMC.

I am so pleased that I chose the AMC to train as a Celebrant. I have completed all three courses - Weddings, Namings and Funerals. The training itself if really varied, it is brilliant that you can do it in your own time and the content is a mix of videos, personal research, answering questions and tasks and writing and performing ceremonies. The final assessment gets you to perform a live and recorded ceremony with fake guests and this means you truly feel like you've done a ceremony when you come to stepping out into the real world.

I have now had bookings of my own from real clients for weddings, namings and funerals and I felt so equipped and confident in my ability.

The course also really helps you to harness why you are doing this, who you are and what kind of Celebrant you want to be. They give you real stepping stones for setting up your business and getting out there.

I would definitely recommend the course!

I had a super time training with the AMC!
the modules were interesting and fun to do and could all be done online at at your own convenience. I learnt so much about the the role of a celebrant and the unique way that they can change a couple's wedding day. I relished the chance to perform a wedding as part of the course - from listening to the the couple - to writing the script - to delivering the ceremony. It was so much fun and I was given excellent guidance along the way from an amazing mentor!
The AMC is truly supportive and still are now I have graduated! I'm so excited to start this new adventure. THANK YOU AMC!

From the start AMC support and guide you through the course. It is a journey of discovery about the world of celebrants and who you are. There are regular Q&A online sessions which enables you to ask questions of an experienced celebrant about the course, your concerns, your ideas - there are also other students on these sessions who can also offer their support. I did slot of research before choosing AMC to train me and it has certainly paid off as I feel confident in taking the next steps to launch my business as an independent modern celebrant.

Fantastic supportive organisation. Enjoyable course, really enjoyed the whole experience.

Sadly, my experience of AMC was not a positive one. I did not receive support from my mentor. Although I enrolled a good while ago and reached out for support MANY MANY TIMES, I never got the support advertised or promised. I actually waited 4 months for one reply and no reply at all from her for another. I was also locked out of their web site portal. It was renewed and revamped whilst I was learning but I wasn’t allowed access to the new platform as I was enrolled on the old one. I requested a refund and was refused as they could see I had at one point, been able to log it!! I personally wouldn’t recommend them….EVER.

I have recently completed the weddings element of the training and I can honestly say that after 37 years working in local government it has been one of the most inspirational and empowering experiences of my life. I love the fact that you can complete the course in you own time, although don’t underestimate the time needed for self study and script writing. That said, the support offered by the Academy is second to none with an assigned mentor, weekly Q and A sessions, themed webinars, student Facebook page as well as training videos and handbooks and not forgetting the really useful template documents. My mentor Miranda was absolutely brilliant with lots of tips and suggestions to perfect my writing and presentation style. I really feel that the Academy has helped me find my calling. I have used their sister company to develop my branding and website. If you are serious about celebrancy and are able to put the time into study I can highly recommend the Academy of Modern Celebrancy.

When I started my research to see the best company for me to do my Celebrant training with, I felt overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
I came across the Academy of Modern Celebrancy and immediately got an impression of energy and professionalism just from their website.
At their free online introduction, I felt that they were a supportive, passionate and modern company. I knew they were the right fit for me.
I signed up for the Celebrant Master Class, which covers Funeral, Wedding and Naming training.
The AMC Student Facebook community has been outstanding; no question is ever seen as daft, and the support from both the mentors and other trainees is fantastic.
I have recently successfully completed my Funeral Course. I thoroughly enjoyed the self-directed learning, which surprised me as I have always found studying over the years a bit of a chore. However, this was completely different as I learnt something new every day that has benefited me in my practice. Having a mentor's feedback, support and expertise is priceless and really helped my confidence. I felt fully prepared and equipped when I had the honour of delivering Funeral Ceremonies.
The guidance and support they also give you on starting your own business and marketing is outstanding.
Choosing the Academy of Modern Celebrancy was the best decision I made in giving me the strong foundations I needed to start my new career as a celebrant.
I highly recommend the Academy of Modern Celebrancy.
