Can I pay by instalments?

Yes! You can choose to pay for your course in one easy payment or alternatively to pay in three or six instalments. You will receive all your student manuals once your final payment has been processed but in the meantime will have access to all course materials online. Three monthly instalments costs US$150 per month (total of US$450). Six monthly instalments cost US$78 per month (total of US$468).

 

Do you have a refund policy?

Yes we do! You can access all student materials through the student website once you have registered for a course. If, after looking at the materials, you decide that this is not quite what you are looking for, we offer a 3 day money back guarantee. Just contact us within 3 days of registering, and your payment will be refunded less a $25 admin fee.

Are there discounts for combined courses or existing students?

Yes there are! Registering for more than one course means significant discounts on your training costs. If you register for one course now, you can always add courses later and receive a student discount.

Do you offer scholarships?

Scholarships are not offered by Childbirth International. If finances are tight, making training difficult, there are several options available to you. You could choose the instalment plan, spreading the cost of your training over several months. If you would like to do the Birth Doula and Antenatal Teacher courses, you could start with the Birth Doula course and then receive the discounted fee for existing students and upgrade to the Antenatal Teacher program later (or any other full certification course offered by Childbirth International). You could approach local government and small business organisations for assistance as they often have business start-up programs, or approach community groups like your local church. Another alternative is that you could use the income from your first 1-2 births to pay for your training.

"I loved the whole journey. The whole experience has been one of tremendous growth. The flexibility was wonderful for me... I could take my time and absorb the material. I love how I have new, definitive ideas about birth and my culture. I really enjoyed the messageboard and will continue to do so. " - Amy, New York
