We are often asked whether Childbirth International is accredited or recognised by an independent body.

There is no national or international body that recognises a standard of training for Birth Doulas, Postnatal Doulas, Antenatal Teachers or Breastfeeding Counsellors at this point in time. The only accreditation or recognition bodies that exist have all been established by training organisations and therefore cannot be seen as truly overseeing birth professions in an independent way. This is something that we would hope to see in the future. However, we believe that our training program is of the highest standard and the most comprehensive available. If you would like to know what it is like training with Childbirth International, you can read what our students have to say about us in the pages on Meet Students.
