We are aware that there are now many new organisations out there offering celebrant training courses and we know that looking at the options online probably seems like a bit of a minefield!
Our founder and principal course leader Terri Negus has international acclaim and has been pioneering Independent Celebrant Training in the U.K. since 2007. Not only has her training received many accolades over the years, but those she has trained have received top awards as well, just look at our blogs to read about some of the success stories of our graduates.
Terri herself has received multiple awards over the years, most recently; Funeral Industry Leadership Award (Business Awards UK 2024), Celebrant of the Year (E2 Media, Award of Excellence 2024) and Independent Celebrant of the Year (Influential Women in Business Awards 2025).
So whilst other training organisations may claim to be the best, we have the history and the evidence to prove that the training provided by the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants IS THE BEST.
