Please note that, after remaining at £200 for several years, we have taken the decision to double the fee of our Namings course in order to meet the substantial costs of delivering this training, and to more accurately reflect the fee that Namings celebrants can now charge. Celebrants should expect to be able to recoup this training fee within two or three Naming ceremonies.
