The Structure of Our Program
Our Maternity and Child Sleep Program is an online program combining self-directed modules and live classes.
HOW OUR PROGRAMS WORK
ONLINE INSTRUCTION
All of our courses are taught online. All you need is Internet access to login and be part of each class.
LIVE VS. SELF-DIRECTED VS. COMBO?
We offer two types of courses. Depending on the course we offer one, or both options.
Live: a date is selected among participants a few weeks before the start of classes. During this live interactive call you can ask questions as needed. Each class is recorded though so even if you miss it, you’ll still be able to listen to it at your convenience!
Self-Directed: all sessions are pre-recorded and you are given access to the new modules as you complete each one. You will email your instructor, or attend a weekly/monthly conference-call with the instructor, to ask any questions you may have.
Combo: Many of our course include a combination of self-directed and live programs.
There are two main components required to obtain certification:
Component One is a combination self-directed online and online weekly support live course introducing you to your role as a coach and all aspects of sleep in your sleep consulting work.
Component Two is a live online four month program (offered three times a year January, May and September) where participants have an opportunity to take all they have learned from Component One and apply it in case study work that is covered each week for 16 weeks. We will explore many specialized and standard cases utilizing the knowledge and skills gained in Component One.
There are online course modules that may be completed at your convenience, and live weekly support and discussion calls.
Participants have one year to complete our program.
Upon completion of Components One and Two, students receive a Certification to become Certified Maternity & Child Sleep Consultants and are considered graduates of the full IPHI Maternity & Child Sleep Consultant Program.
Students may obtain their full certification upon completion of Components One and Two.
Online Weekly Live Support Calls are available for 10 months each year and are available to you for support. Ask us any questions If you cannot attend live online weekly calls, you have the option of emailing us your questions. You will receive the class recording each week class is held.
Additionally, our Facebook group is also available for support from our graduates and current students.
You can begin this course to become a certified Maternity & Child Sleep Consultant at any time by enrolling in Component One.
