It will depend on where you are, I've heard some things like bribing in some places. In my case here, i think we don't have to attend the seminar, all we need our personal appearance in the Social welfare Office for the Certificate, reasons are we are both of legal age (i'm 34 and he's 53), and I've known the people who are working on the certificates to. I think, the personal appearance, is all for formality reasons. :-) maybe if your wife knew some persons in the local government office maybe she could talk to them and ask for exception.
