Lamaze Educator Learning Guide

The Lamaze Educator Learning Guide is a flexible, self-paced resource that helps you develop the knowledge and competencies of a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. Work through it on your own schedule as you prepare to teach the Essential Content for Lamaze classes and build an evidence-based resource for your career.

The interactive modules include:

Module I: Professional Role of the Childbirth Educator
Module II: Promoting Safe and Healthy Pregnancy
Module III: Promoting Safe and Healthy Birth
Module IV: Healthy Baby, Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding, Postpartum, and Early Parenting
Module V: Teaching
Module VI: Changing the World of Birth

Each module includes review questions, practical handouts, and essential readings from The Journal of Perinatal Education. Many learners complete the Guide gradually over several months, fitting the readings and online resources into their schedules.

The Learning Guide builds a strong foundation for certification but is not a dedicated exam-preparation tool. Upon approval of your exam application, you will receive access to the updated Lamaze Certification Exam Prep Toolkit, designed to help you prepare with confidence.
