Childbirth Educator Certification

Our Certified Childbirth Educator program is a five-week non-credit course for those who wish to teach childbirth classes to expecting parents. This course trains instructors to teach evidenced-based natural birth and has a special emphasis on working with diverse populations. This program prepares students to teach childbirth classes in a variety of settings: hospitals, home birth and birth centers.

Coursework is 100% online with a community-based practicum component, written with the same standards of excellence with which all of Aviva Institute's programs are designed. Courses are done in a cohort group with other students with a high degree of instructor involvement. This program is not just reading books and writing papers like other distance childbirth education training programs; it is highly interactive, challenging, engaging, and fun.
