The first professional Celebrant training organization in North America, the Celebrant Foundation & Institute has spent over 20 years developing and delivering comprehensive non-affiliated professional officiant and celebrant educational experiences. With graduates on 5 continents, and classes in multiple certification specialties, we have the deepest and farthest reach. CF&I sets the standard for Celebrant Training.

Our courses, programs and processes are universally applicable to all perspectives. We have graduates who are secular and non-secular, spiritual, Humanist, Agnostic and Atheist and more. Our courses are focused on learning the craft of exceptional ceremony creation, which is relevant and relatable and can be applied to any philosophy or spirituality. We offer a place where anyone can learn meaningful skills without having to embrace any particular affiliation.

Whether you are brand new to this profession, pursuing external continuing educational credits, a member of the clergy or spiritual leader, or coming from an active officiant practice, we believe both our students and their clients are best served by an officiant who has taken time to fully understand all aspects of their profession. More than a "crash course", CF&I provides thoughtful, comprehensive Celebrant education and and provides ongoing professional development, a lifelong supportive community and practical guidance to ensure the highest level of success for our students and alumni.
