The NOCN Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Practice Funeral Celebrancy

We are delighted to launch a brand new National Qualification for Funeral Celebrants:

The NOCN Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Practice Funeral Celebrancy

Funding is available with Advanced Learner Loans

Our aim has always been and remains, to make funerals better. They are indeed better as the funeral celebrants that we have trained in the last 21 years have raised the standard of funeral ceremonies so very much, earning the respect of the funeral industry across the UK.

So why a new, higher-level diploma? Because there was no progression for funeral celebrants and because funeral directors are being approached by many more celebrants offering their services.

It is increasingly essential for celebrants to develop their skills and knowledge further and learn new techniques, demonstrating a passion for creating and delivering the very best possible funerals. As regulation of the industry increases, there will be closer scrutiny of celebrants and this Level 4 qualification offers the opportunity to demonstrate continued professional development at a higher level. Funeral celebrancy is a growing profession that needs progressive celebrants!

The new qualification is the equivalent of the first year of a batchelor’s degree and is the very highest qualification possible for funeral celebrants with 58 credits and 19 units. The content reflects the higher education standard and is organised into 9 sections, which are mostly completed by distance learning with Zoom sessions and audio files. The course includes sections on inclusivity at funerals and there are advanced practice sections on writing, delivery skills, challenging interview situations, child and baby funerals, deeper understanding of music and technology at funerals and advanced ashes and memorial ceremonies. An hour of expert voice coaching on Zoom is included and accommodation for an assessment day, which is held at The Management Development Centre at Cranfield University in Bedfordshire.

The course can take up to a year to complete and there is an application form available on request.
