Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recognise previous experience?

Your previous experience can be enormously beneficial in your training as a birth professional.


Perhaps you have completed other doula training programs, or been working as a Birth Doula for some time. Perhaps you have experience as a nurse or a physiotherapist. Whatever your experience or previous training, it can help to understand some of the concepts covered in your birth professional training.

Because Childbirth International training is unique in its focus on reflective practice, communication skills and understanding of evidence-based care, we do not offer credits for prior experience or training. We do however value the contribution that every student brings to Childbirth International in terms of their knowledge and previous experiences and how these benefit all students in being able to share different points of view.
