When you decide to begin your Path to Ministry with FuturFaith, you’ll be guided through a clear set of steps — from enrolment all the way to becoming a fully registered solemniser.
Here’s what the journey looks like in practice.
1
Complete your enrolment and secure your place on the Path to Ministry course. If you pay in full, you’ll gain instant access to all modules. If you choose instalments, your access will pause at set points until the next payment is made.
2
Move through the online modules at your own pace. Each stage includes lessons, quizzes, assignments, and resources designed to prepare you for real ceremonies. You’ll receive feedback from tutors along the way.
2-5 months
What you'll learn3
Before your graduation, you’ll complete a mock call with your tutors via Zoom. This is an opportunity to refine your wedding and funeral ceremonies, get guidance, and build confidence ahead of your final in-person assessments.

After passing your mocks, you’ll be able to book your final in-person assessments at our HQ in the heart of Dundalk. Here, you’ll conduct a full legal wedding and a full funeral ceremony, using the scripts you’ve already created.
3-4 hours

Once you successfully graduate, you’ll be invited to sign your Futur+ membership agreement. Our IT team will create your officiant profile on the FuturFaith website, and our nominator will submit your documents to the HSE and/or NI Direct for registration.
