Birth Doula - Course Duration
Because we understand that you have
families, jobs, and other commitments - in short, a busy life - we
ensure the course is as flexible as it can possibly be. Study at your
own pace. If you need a break, go right ahead. If you want to work more
quickly, that great as well. |

Flexibility
PLUS!
The beauty of certifying as a
Birth Doula
with
Childbirth International
is that you have the flexibility to fit it in with
your lifestyle. You can complete the course in as little as 2-3
months, or take as long as 3 years.
If your family commitments change, you can take a break from
studying for a while. If you have holidays coming up and some
extra free time, you can pick up a faster pace.
As an estimate, if you study
for 10 hours each week, the course will take you
4-6 months to complete and certify.
This would include the time it takes
for you to complete the study workbooks, and assumes that you
attend your two certification births and one antenatal class in
that time. This is similar to other programs once you
take into account attending their workshops, supporting at
your certifying births and completing their certification
requirements. However, as a Childbirth International certified
Birth Doula
you will have completed the most comprehensive training
that is available anywhere in the world!
