Certification Requirements
To become certified through Birth It Forward, participants must complete all course modules, assignments, and workshops, as well as meet specific practical requirements such as attending births and submitting evaluations. Additional certifications, such as CPR and First Aid, are also required to ensure competency in emergency situations.
There are a few items that will take you time to put together, such as the resource list and writing your book reviews. You are welcome to jump to other areas of the training to work on these items that will take longer to complete.Â
