The beauty of training with Childbirth International is
that you have the flexibility to fit it in with your lifestyle. You can
complete the Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula courses in as little as
2-3 months, or take as long as 3 years. The Childbirth Educator and
Breastfeeding Counselor courses can be completed in as little as 8
months or again, you can choose to take up to three 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
Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula courses will take you 4-6 months to
complete. This would include the time it takes for you to complete the
study workbooks, and assumes that you complete the course requirements
for supporting women 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.
As an estimate, if you study for 10 hours each week, the
Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Counselor courses will take you
10-14 months to complete. This would include the time it takes for you
to complete the study workbooks, and assumes that you meet the support
and class requirements for these courses in that time.
