Still Outstanding!!!

Civil Ceremonies Ltd is delighted to announce that following an Ofsted inspection in August 2024, we have retained our ‘Outstanding’ grading as an Independent Training Provider.

Managing Director Anne Barber said ‘An incredible amount of hard work has gone into the celebrancy courses we offer, over the last 22 years since the company was founded. We were so excited when our first inspection result in 2018 was ‘Outstanding’ and to have retained it on our second inspection is just brilliant. A massive thank you to all our fantastic staff, tutors and assessors who make our training courses so incredibly thorough. Thanks also to all our wonderful learners who work so hard to achieve their qualifications and become amazing celebrants’.
