Frequently Asked Questions

What support do you provide?

Childbirth International feels that supporting students and graduates is an important part of our role. Once you have registered as a student you will not be forgotten!

A trainer will be assigned to you once you start your training and she will contact you to introduce herself. Your trainer is always there to guide and support you through your training and beyond. Childbirth International provides a number of ways for you to connect with other birth professionals and build a strong support network. All students are part of an email based discussion list, enabling you to ask questions of others who have been there. Childbirth International also hosts the worlds largest email list for the public. The list - Doula on the Yahoo groups website - has more than 1,500 members from all over the world. We also host a list specifically for childbirth educators. Encouraging exploration of new ideas, respectful debate and supporting new birth professionals with suggestions, the list continues to be one of the most popular forums for birth professionals.

Once you have completed your training, Childbirth International will still be there to support you. If you experience a tough birth, need help and guidance on some aspect of your business, or are experiencing personal difficulties, you can contact your trainer or the Customer Support team anytime.

What do Childbirth International students say about the support?

"The support from my trainer was exemplary. Making oneself understood through email can be elusive at times, but the patience she showed made me feel at ease and encouraged me to keep trying, until I had full understanding of the matter in question."

"She responded very quickly to comments that I made on evaluation forms, and to questions that I had. She offered me ways of looking at my final communications assignment that helped me achieve a paper that I was truly proud of."

"I've experienced total support on all issues that came up for me during my training, whether they were practical or emotional in nature. I felt like I had a good doula while giving birth to my new doula-self."

"Frankly, knowledge and experience just oozes from you ladies. Oh, and did I mention inspiration?"

"She was very calm and reassuring. She has a wonderful intuitive knack for asking me the right probing questions that helped me discover an insecurity I had been holding onto. She has put me at ease. I also appreciated the info on requests I had made on 'How to use a computer'. I have since become much more computer literate."

"Thank you so much for all your hard work! CBI really is a wonderful organization, and I am proud to be a part of it!"

"I simply want to thank you ladies for a job well done and for allowing me to experience a wonderful training program. You definitely give the well known organizations tough competition!"

"I've been telling everyone who seems even the least bit interested that CBI is the best course around!"
