Doulas who certify through New Beginnings Doula Training are required to renew their certification every two years. This ensures that doulas stay up-to-date with their skills and current trends in birth.
To complete the certification renewal process, doulas log in to their student account and click on the “Renewal” link under “Programs” in the main menu. We provide a list of accepted continuing education credit opportunities and you may choose your own as well. Registration for renewal includes a $50 renewal fee.
The renewal program includes the following requirements:
- Complete 20 continuing education units (CEU) provided from a list, or other pre-approved websites. (Contact us regarding questions about what counts). Submit documentation demonstrating completion of educational units.
- Complete one client care packet for one birth you attended in the two years previous. We will provide the packet PDF for your use.
Upon completion of all four steps, we will issue you a new certificate. You will receive a digital copy via email and your certificate will also be published or updated in the online alumni directory.
