BACE+ ACCELERATED Childbirth Educator Training Workshop
By popular request, we are now offering The BACE+ Accelerated Childbirth Educator Training Workshop! BACE+ is designed for those with a solid understanding and background in pregnancy and childbirth. The course consists of 24 hours of in-class time (our traditional program is 40 hours over 10 weeks), group discussion, adult learning concepts, and presentation practice. This unique program provides mentorship in curriculum development and facilitation skills for teaching impactful, evidence-based childbirth classes and workshops.
To be certified, you will need to submit your childbirth education curriculum for approval. Once you've taught a certification series, and enriched your knowledge with continuing education credits, you will be recommended for certification through BACE (BCCE = BACE-Certified Childbirth Educator).
