These classes take what you have learned as a birth doula and postpartum lactation specialist and tie it into one package, adding in how to teach groups and one-on-one classes in an engaging and informative manner as a childbirth educator!

 

Learning how to teach is a separate and essential skill beyond simply having knowledge. If you’ve already registered for both programs, you’re already on your way to certification. You have a strong foundation in place! This training will equip you to confidently present evidence-based information from both medical and natural health perspectives in a classroom setting, building on the biblical foundation you already carry, for families preparing for hospital, birth center, or home birth.

​

The program is structured with tiered pricing, so if you’ve already completed the first two courses, your cost is reduced. If you’re just starting, you can enroll in the full bundle to complete both your CBE and doula certifications together. Individual doula certification will still be offered as usual—we’ve simply added more flexible options to meet different educational goals. You do not need to become a doula if your goal is only to be a CBE. The doula training is included as part of the educational modules to deepen your understanding of birth and to help you teach partners how to support women during labor.

 

You will be one of the most thoroughly equipped CBEs in your community with the educational foundation you receive in this program to equip you to understand the support role to teach parents to prepare for pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, lactation and newborn care--all from a biblical foundation. You will be experienced in knowing how to support a mother and teach the father how to be her support person during the process, which is why the doula program is foundational to your role as a childbirth educator. You will learn professional teaching skills and techniques to prepare engaging and interactive classes that students will love!

​

If you have already been trained as a birth doula, postpartum doula, and in lactation, you may send in your training certifications for review to qualify as the prerequisites for this program in lieu of taking our birth and postpartum courses first. 

​

All certifications are subject to compliance with AWWS' educational and ethical standards and requirements. Tuition is non-refundable.
