Childbirth Educator Program (CBE)
Do you have a passion to teach? Do you want to establish yourself as a trusted educator in your community and learn how to organize and start up a class? This self-paced video training is for you!
These classes build on your training as a birth doula and postpartum lactation specialist, bringing it all together into one complete package. You’ll learn how to confidently teach both group and one-on-one classes in a way that’s engaging and informative as a childbirth educator. We also include ready-to-use teaching outlines and interactive activities to help you get started right away!
Teaching is its own skill—it goes beyond simply having the knowledge. If you’ve already registered for both programs, you’re already on your way to certification and have a strong foundation in place. This training equips 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 designed with tiered pricing, so if you’ve already completed the first two courses, you only pay for the CBE modules. If you’re just starting, you can enroll in the full bundle to complete both your CBE and doula certifications together. Individual doula certification is still available as usual—we’ve simply added more flexible options to fit different goals. You don’t need to become a doula if your focus is solely on becoming a CBE; the doula training is included within the modules to deepen your understanding of birth and to help you teach partners how to effectively support women during labor.
This program gives you a strong, well-rounded foundation to serve as a childbirth educator in your community. You’ll be equipped to teach families how to prepare for pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, lactation, and newborn care—all from a biblical foundation.
You’ll understand the support role firsthand, including how to guide fathers in becoming confident, effective support partners during labor, which is why the doula training is such a key part of this program. You’ll also develop professional teaching skills and techniques so you can lead engaging, interactive classes that students genuinely enjoy and learn from.
This course equips you to become a confident, effective childbirth educator by taking the knowledge you already have and pairing it with practical teaching skills. You’ll learn how to organize and present information in a clear, structured way that parents can easily understand and apply.
You’ll be trained to interpret and teach evidence-based information, explain options in a balanced way, and help parents think critically as they approach decisions during birth. For those teaching within a Christian context, you’ll also learn how to guide parents to seek wisdom through the Holy Spirit.
The course walks you through creating engaging classes using interaction, activities, and discussion so your students stay involved and retain what they learn. You’ll receive ready-to-use handouts with class outlines, specific activities, and teaching strategies.
You’ll also learn how to navigate real classroom dynamics—handling questions, guiding conversations, and responding to sensitive or emotional situations with confidence. In addition, you’ll be equipped to teach from a Christian perspective, approach cultural differences with awareness, and communicate in a way that connects with a wide range of families.
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.
You may also sign up for this CBE course on its own. You just won't receive credentialing without proof of birth and postpartum classes also completed.
All certifications are subject to compliance with AWWS' educational and ethical standards and requirements. Tuition is non-refundable.
