Postpartum Doula - Course Duration

The beauty of training as a Postpartum Doula with Childbirth International is that you have the flexibility to fit it in with your lifestyle. You can complete the course in as little as 2-3 months, or take as long as 3 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 course 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 support two women in the postpartum period. This is similar to other programs once you take into account attending their workshops, supporting women postpartum and completing their certification requirements. However, as a Childbirth International certified Postpartum Doula you will have completed the most comprehensive training that is available anywhere in the world! Flexibility Plus!
