* New qualification and applying for registration as a Marriage Celebrant on and after 3 February 2010

As noted above, on and after 3 February 2010 a person who applies to be registered as a marriage celebrant will need to hold the Certificate IV in Celebrancy or an equivalent university qualification to meet the qualification requirements for registration.

Please note: A Certificate IV in Marriage Celebrancy is not the same qualification. It is not equivalent in any way to the Certificate IV in Celebrancy and will not meet the new requirements for registration.

About the Certificate IV in Celebrancy and what you will need to be complete in order to meet statutory requirements for registration

The new Certificate IV in Celebrancy is a broader qualification than its predecessors. It comprises 13 units of training: five compulsory units and eight electives. The list of electives includes four units that are compulsory units, especially written for marriage celebrancy.

The following five compulsory units in Celebrancy must all be undertaken:

• CHCADMIN305D-Work with the administration protocols of the organisation
• CHCCEL401A-Work effectively in a celebrancy role
• CHCCEL406A-Identify and address client needs in a celebrancy role
• CHCCOM403A-Use targeted communication skills to build relationships
• CHCCS400A-Work within a relevant legal and ethical framework

In order to meet the statutory requirements for registration as a marriage celebrant you will also need to complete additional compulsory units from the list of elective units which are mandatory for being registered as a marriage celebrant. Those units are as follows :

• CHCCEL402A-Establish and maintain knowledge of legal responsibilities of a marriage celebrant
• CHCCEL403A-Develop an effective relationship with a marrying couple
• CHCCEL404A-Plan a marriage ceremony in line with legal requirements
• CHCCEL405A-Conduct and review a marriage ceremony in line with legal requirements

These four units are referred to as the four additional mandatory marriage celebrancy units.

Your training provider will advise you about any other requirements you will need to meet in order to be awarded the Certificate IV in Celebrancy or equivalent university qualification.
