Are there pre-requisites to taking the doula training?

Picture
     I do not require that you complete pre-requisites before attending my doula training, other trainers may. It will, however, benefit you to begin the required reading or read more - there is always something to learn. You can also begin observing the required childbirth education classes.  
     When you become a member of DONA International you will receive the journal, and you can join DONA Connect a member only communication forum.  You can also purchase the certification packet from DONA, but keep in mind births that you attend before the training will not count as qualifying births. Also, the certification packet expires two years from the date of purchase, which means you could wait to purchase it until you have a birth lined up.
