LGBT+ Weddings Certificate Course
LGBT+ Weddings Certificate Course
Earn the trust and the business of the loyal LGBTQ wedding market by learning from the experts at the Equality Institute. Together, we are creating a more equal world.
We've trained thousands of wedding and travel pros from 25+ countries to be sensitive, trained and ready to passionately serve same-sex couples!
Take it from one of our graduates, Greg from the Hotel Monaco:
“Just wanted to let you know that I REALLY not only enjoyed this class, but the way it was presented. Learned a ton of information. And I really liked the underlying tone – just be yourself, ask questions if you don’t know, and genuinely care about your couple – gay, straight or whatever. Very well done! And very well received.”

Yes! We will assign practical, useful homework assignments and each participant is required to submit homework in order to complete the program. The homework will help prepare your business for LGBTQ weddings.

Yes, there is a 10 question course completion quiz that you are expected to complete with at least a 70% score.

Can I rewatch the sessions?

How much does it cost?
The cost is $399. The payment is non-refundable but is transferable if you cannot attend but want to send someone else instead.

No, but if you watch the videos, participate in discussion, do your homework, and pass the quiz with at least a 70%, then there's no reason you shouldn't successfully complete the program.
Can my entire staff participate?
Absolutely, but we require each individual to register and participate separately. The certificate is per individual, not per company. This is to avoid a situation where an employee moves onto another company but the original company maintains the certificate, even though no other staff have been trained.
Can you provide the course to my entire hotel/staff and provide a company-wide certificate?
Yes, of course! Please email info {at} theequalityinstitute {dot} com to discuss.
