Can I pay by installments? |
Yes! You can choose to pay for your course in one
easy payment or alternatively pay in three or six installments.
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 installments costs
US$243 per month (total of US$729). Six monthly installments
cost US$123 per month (total of US$741).
|
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 2 day money back guarantee. Just contact us within
2 days (48 hours) of
registering, and your payment will be refunded less a $50 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 installment plan, spreading the cost
of your training over several months. If you would like to do the Birth
Doula and Childbirth Educator courses, you could start with the Birth Doula
course and then receive the discounted fee for existing students and upgrade
to the Childbirth Educator program later (or any other full training
course leading to certification offered by Childbirth International). You could approach local
government and small business organizations 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 classes to pay for your training.
