"The mix of discussions, breakout rooms and activities was perfect to keep us all engaged throughout the course. I appreciate how accepting you were of other people's opinions and experiences, setting an example of nonjudgmental and inclusive leadership." — Sumrana, Childbirth Educator Graduate

At Doula School International, we've built two flexible pathways to Lamaze certification that meet you where you are:

Lamaze Teaching Skills Workshop
A focused 3-day live virtual workshop where you'll learn exactly how to teach childbirth education with skill and confidence. This workshop fulfills the seminar prerequisite requirement to sit the LCCE exam.

Full Childbirth Educator Certification
Your all-in-one route to exam day. You'll receive the Lamaze Comprehensive Learning Guide (100+ hours of self-paced content), five live group module review calls, including an exam prep session. With up to 24 months to complete, this program fits into your life to help you become a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator.

What You'll Learn
From the history of birth to the art of teaching adults, this program covers the full scope of what today's childbirth educator needs to know:
- Evidence-based pregnancy and labor care
