Our online program is evidence-based, self-paced, and available 24/7. Each section contains an audiovisual PowerPoint and a quiz led by a lead instructor. At the end of the course, you will take a 150 T/F and multiple choice exam to earn your certificate of completion. Students must complete coursework AND examination to receive their certificate of completion.
The cost of the program is $400. The course includes online access to course material, a 185 pdf manual, our interactive online student-only Facebook group membership, and a certificate of completion upon passing the final exam. If you want to purchase a printed manual, you can do so separately. Printed manuals are $40 for US shipping. This course is one of the first steps to obtaining your certification if you pursue further credentials in this field. However, becoming certified is not required to work as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula.
Students can now apply for certification through The Newborn Care Training Academy and our partnership with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). Students are not required to apply for certification. However, a certificate of completion is necessary to begin the certification process.
