Frequently Asked Questions
Will my training be recognized?
We are often asked whether the training that
you complete will be recognized by hospitals.
Birth professionals are often told by others that they have to be
certified by a particular organization in order to be allowed to work in
a hospital. If you are self employed, and have been hired directly by
parents as an independent practitioner, this does not appear to be a
problem anywhere in the world. If you come across a hospital who
requires a specific training, we can provide you with written details of
the training you have undergone with Childbirth International,
indicating the depth and quality of training. To date, no Childbirth
International student or graduate has been denied the opportunity to
work in a hospital because their training did not meet hospital
requirements.
"Having such experienced doulas to discuss all sorts
of birth topics was great! I now feel confident & prepared
to perform my tasks as a labor doula because of this course.
Thanks to you all!" Jeanne, Alabama
