So pleased to see the group that has supported me for over 25 yrs on the list - ICEA! ICEA kept me going and then made a way to use that knowledge as a trainer. Love what I do and still doing it after all these years!

Thanks for sharing! I'm in the process of exploring my options for CBE training and this is a great resource.

An update: The Simkin Center Childbirth Ed Training can be used towards certification with 3 different organizations, but they don't offer certification directly. The program is blended with 40-hours of online training and a 3-day onsite workshop. 19/10/2018 13:43:53
