Certification Basics

Certify your skill after your workshop

Birth Professional International offers certification for all of our labor doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator and breastfeeding counseling courses.

What is required for certification?

Certification requires that you complete the entirety of the course you want certification in, and passing a test that is done online with an 80% or higher score. If you do not pass the test the first time you can retake the test for a small fee.

We do not require births, other classes, book reading, or essays for the certification process. While we encourage learning in the best way that you want to learn about subject matters of your interest, we do not require it.

How do I renew my certification?

At this time, there is no recertification fee or requirement. There will be no need to renew your certification unless it becomes required by law.

Already certified or previously certified elsewhere?

Cross certification is available. We offer certification at 50% off with proof of your prior training/certification. Please contact us for details specific to your program.
