We are the only doula certification program to utilize experts in complementary fields throughout the curriculum so that you are getting the most experienced training available. Pediatricians and neonatologists who work with newborns every day, OBGYNs, RNs, and midwives who work with expecting and postpartum women every day. Social workers and psychotherapists who work with expecting and postpartum moms every day. By gaining the input of these professionals, we really get a whole family, multidisciplinary approach to becoming a doula.

Experience the power of tailored learning with our courses!

However, most online courses simply don’t align with our cognitive processes—they offer long, unfocused videos, lack a clear direction, present unrelated content, and fail to maintain consistent learner engagement. Even worse, they often seem like square pegs forced into round holes—traditional classroom strategies awkwardly adapted for the digital world.

Does this sound familiar? Is it any wonder why learners are tempted to swap these tedious experiences for a Netflix marathon or a Candy Crush session?

However, with our Doula courses, you’ll discover a different, more intuitive way of learning. We recognize that to truly captivate a learner, the content must not only fit the online format but also add considerable value to the student’s journey.

We’ve simplified the learning process, making it effortless for you to absorb all you want about birth, babies, and providing families with unparalleled Doula support. Our content is meticulously crafted, engaging, and directly applicable, taking you from curiosity to comprehension seamlessly.

It’s time to replace the uninspiring slog of conventional online learning with a fulfilling, meaningful educational experience. Choose our Doula courses and transform your interest in birth and babies into tangible skills to support families effectively. Learning has never been this simple, engaging, or rewarding!

Authentic Assessment

The International Doula Institute (IDI) designed our curriculum based on the progressive model of Authentic Assessment. Programs that rely on traditional methods of examination alone promote memorization of facts rather than retained applicable skill. The program has been created by a team of curriculum developers from many different complementary fields of expertise including education, OBGYN, Pediatrics, Psychology, Social Work, RN’s and most importantly doulas in the field, to provide the highest level of education for the future of the doula, YOU.

Our program boasts multiple learning methods so that all types of learners will be successful in this training program. We focus on giving students tools which will enable you to jump into your new journey serving families. You’ll be fully prepared in all aspects of the role. Both by expanding your knowledge base and by learning the practical application of hands-on skills.
