Academic & Vocational Training (A.V.T.) Pty Ltd is a wholly Australian owned company, employing very successful celebrants as trainers, tutors and advisors.

We proudly offer to all our students, the personal and individual attention usually found in a small family business, together with innovative ideas and access to training tools usually found in the huge corporations.

We have access to all the training aids and information offered by all the Educational bodies associated with Nationally Recognised training courses.

We receive updated information from the Marriage Celebrant’s Section of the Federal Attorney-Generals’ Department, from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, from VETAB (Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board) and all other bodies associated with the Nationally Accredited Training Package.

All updated information is immediately included in our training course.

Our trainers and tutors will take all steps necessary to guide the student to a successful outcome.


Our trainers and tutors are not employees of Academic & Vocational Training Pty Ltd.

Our trainers and tutors are stakeholders with a social and intellectual interest in the student’s success, which reflects positively on their role as a quality trainer/tutor.

We acknowledge the importance of ceremonies to the clients and to the community, and it is in the interests of the celebrant and the wider community that the celebrant be trained to a level where excellence can be achieved.

It is our wish that celebrants graduating from training from Academic & Vocational Training Pty Ltd, be sought-after as the preferred celebrant in their community.

If you are studying by correspondence (distance), we understand that you may choose, or need to complete some of your course at night-time or at weekends. Your tutor will be available to assist you, if the need arises. We are not a 9 to 5 organisation.

The marriage celebrant training course offered has been written by celebrants who have conducted a combined total of over 5000 ceremonies, and who are committed to display a high level of professionalism to all those who enrol in the course.

The aim of all our trainers and tutors is to lead each student on a career path that will be both socially and financially rewarding for them.
