CLASS DETAILS
**We apologize, but we are currently not offering “in person” classes. Available options: 7 Week Series taught via ZOOM or Preparing for Birth Online Learning.
For the inquisitive couple who can’t commit to evening/weekly classes but still wants all the information. This convenient class is taught at a faster pace and requires more commitment to e-Learning and additional assignments at home.
14 hours of in-class instruction (2 x 7 hour full days)
11.5 hours of e-Learning/Homework assignments
TOTAL: Over 26 hours of curriculum & additional resources
*We recommend choosing a class that ends before you are 37 weeks gestation to ensure you make it to all the classes before baby arrives (Ideally 3-6 weeks). This will also ensure you are in a class with other couples with similar due dates.
What’s also included
- Childbirth Companion Workbook
- Online quizzes
- Unlimited phone & email support before, during and after birth
- Small class sizes. Limited to 7-9 couples.
