QUALIFICATION LEVEL - CERTIFICATE IV or DIPLOMA?

• Download CONSULTATION PAPER PREPARED by the Skills Council on Celebrancy Qualification_April_2015.pdf

Basically this Consultation paper states there has not been a consensus between the stakeholders as to the level for new celebrants training.

Your feedback to the Skills Council is important.

The crux of this Second Public Consultation is: At what level should the qualification be for new and aspiring celebrants?

Your view is requested:

• Is this qualification to be a Diploma of Celebrancy as recommended by CoCA (Coalition of Celebrant Associations) and FCAA (Funeral Celebrants Australia Association) representatives?

AND/OR

• Would you support the Attorney-General's Department choosing part of this Diploma (units which would be the equivalent of a Certificate IV) for appointment of new Commonwealth Marriage Celebrants?

OR

• Do you support this qualification remaining as a Certificate IV in Celebrancy as recommended by the AGD (Attorney-General's Department) and AFCC (Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants) representatives?
