Program Overview

The Baby Friendly Education program has three online course components.

  • Breastfeeding essentials (this is core course of 20 hours)
  • Essentials for Doctors
  • Continuing Education Courses

As a client, this is how it works:

  • You nominate the number of staff to be enrolled (participant places can be pre-purchased or on a “pay-as-you-go” basis).
  • You log into our website to enrol participants as and when you want and also choose their course.
  • Your staff automatically receive password emails and complete their study at anytime during their 12 month access period.
  • Our Lactation Consultant  Educator constantly monitors the program’s Q&A online Forum
  • Each participant completes an online assessment and will receive their accreditation Certificate immediately.
  • You can view or download training records at anytime.
  • Your organization requires no technology setup (other than Internet access for the participants).
