Discounts
Many of our students choose to study more than one course to offer a greater range of services to their clients and to take advantage of discounts that we offer on combining courses. For example, you may work as a Birth Doula and a Postpartum Doula to extend the time you work with each family. Offering childbirth classes and being a doula enables you to provide a more comprehensive service or take time off from Birth Doula work when you have young children or a full-time job. Adding Lactation Counselor to your skills allows you to work with parents during the first year and support them and their baby with lactation.
Combining courses offers substantial savings for you, and they are also available over the five-month installment plan to make them more affordable. Purchasing a combination of courses at the beginning can save you up to 25% of the training costs. If you decide to start with one course and then add a new course later, you can upgrade later and receive the student discount price (15% discount).
If you choose to do more than one course with Childbirth International, you will not have to redo any common assignments to both courses. For example, once you have done the physiology exams for the Birth Doula course, you will not have to redo them for the Childbirth Educator course. The communication assignment is in all our courses, but you only have to complete it once.
Two courses together: 15% discount
Three courses together : 20% discount
Four courses together: 25% discount
Existing students: 15% discount
Payment Plans
If you choose to pay for your training over five months on our payment plans, there is an admin fee of $10 per month included in the price.
