Become a Lamaze Trained Childbirth Educator

February 25, 2010 at 10:34 am by elwood

As many know, in the upcoming year I have a lot of personal goals that I am working towards accomplishing. One of those goals is to become a childbirth educator to be able to offer reasonable childbirth classes for women in the area, and be able to schedule classes around my childcare availability. Which seems to be the most difficult these days.

But this summer, I decided to take the step to host a Passion for Birth Lamaze childbirth educator training here in Connecticut. Which is completely exciting, but what is most exciting about it all is the instructor I have booked! The rather popular Robin Elise Weiss.

The Passion for Birth workshop is a 3 day course, July 30- August 1st going from 8am till 5pm each day.
In the end you will be a Lamaze Trained/educated childbirth educated.
To become certified you will still need to take the Lamaze certification exam, but this is the first step in the right direction if it is something you are interested in.

Space is limited, there are 14 slots open.

The workshop itself is $395, there are payment plan options, as well as scholarships.
This is about 6 months away, so it gives everyone more than enough time to save up or make arrangements.

And $180 For your study Packet including,Lamaze Study Guide,Lamaze membership, Access to Learning Task Journal, Official Lamaze book, PfB goodie bag and more.

If you are interested, you can e-mail me directly at CTBirthAdvocate@aol.com

I am not sure of the lamaze exam cost because that is not included with the workshop, but I am sure you can find it on the lamaze website which is http://lamaze.org.
