Initial Draft CHC42608 ** in Celebrancy.
This is NOT the FIRST Draft for Public Consultation:
An overview of that FIRST Draft can be found here:
Rather this is the initial document produced by the removing all the duplication from the current Certificate IV in Celebrants as part of the steamlining requirements of this Review.
Please note this initial draft, if left unchanged, would have removed 4 of the existing 7 Celebrancy Specific Units!
The Industry Reference Group worked to ensure that the knowledge and skills identified by the detailed job description would taught and assessed by the Celebrancy Course. This resulted in the First Draft having the 4 celebrancy specific units, reworked with more detailed and specific emphasis to ensure the First draft for consultation would ensure that the trainee would be able to perform as a competent professional celebrant.
Note: Previously the Skills Council had not worked from a job description which is why this qualification has been revised in a major way. Marriage Celebrants are the final decision makers under law to decide to proceed with marrying a couple. Thus they are not a para-professional working for a 'licensed professional' but a professional in their own right.
