Women's Health & Childbirth Education
Parents’ Coach Network offers CAPPA Childbirth Educator Training (CCCE) for individuals who are called to support families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting through education.
Delivered in partnership with the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA), this training provides the professional foundation, credibility, and confidence needed to begin teaching childbirth education in a meaningful and ethical way.
Whether you are starting a new career or expanding your professional role, this training prepares you to educate families with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based knowledge.
CAPPA is an internationally respected organization dedicated to evidence-informed education and professional development for birth and postpartum professionals.
The CAPPA Childbirth Educator Training prepares participants to teach comprehensive, family-centred childbirth education that supports both physical and emotional well-being. This training equips you with the knowledge and teaching tools required to guide expectant parents through pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postpartum transition.
Childbirth educators play a vital role in shaping families’ birth experiences and early parenting journeys.
As a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator, you help families to:
Reduce fear and anxiety around childbirth
Understand their options and make informed decisions
Prepare physically, emotionally, and mentally for birth
Build a strong foundation for early bonding and attachment
High-quality prenatal education has long-lasting benefits — not only for families, but for entire communities.
“healthy development in the early years (particularly birth to three) provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation.”
The birth experience itself is powerful and transformative. When families are supported, informed, and emotionally prepared, childbirth becomes an opportunity to foster early bonding and secure attachment.
CAPPA Childbirth Educator Training prepares you to support families during this critical life transition with empathy, skill, and confidence.
If you feel called to support growing families and improve maternal and infant well-being, this program provides the tools to deliver non-biased, evidence-based childbirth education that empowers parents with knowledge and choice.
Childbirth education offers flexibility and autonomy. Many educators teach independently, part-time or full-time, online or in person, or in collaboration with other birth professionals.
This training supports those looking to build a meaningful and adaptable career.
Nurses, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and mental health professionals often find childbirth education a natural extension of their work.
CAPPA’s Accelerated Stream allows eligible professionals to complete certification up to one year sooner.
Internationally educated nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, and acupuncturists often find childbirth education a fulfilling pathway into professional practice in Canada.
This program values your experience while supporting you in teaching diverse and multicultural communities.
Organizations serving families, immigrants, or refugees can strengthen internal capacity by training staff as CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educators — enhancing program quality, staff satisfaction, and community impact.
This training fulfills a required educational component toward becoming a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator (CCCE) — a respected credential recognized across Canada and the United States.
Nurses can receive 18 hours of Continuing Education Units for attending this training.
There are many ways to support birthing communities — but few are as impactful as childbirth education.
The Canadian Pediatric Society reminds us:
“Secure attachment is the foundation that allows a child to explore the world and return to safety… It is essential to long-term emotional health and the ability to form healthy relationships.”
By becoming a childbirth educator, you contribute to stronger families and a healthier next generation.
Amy was an amazing instructor! Her passion and genuine interest in teaching her tips and tricks to streamline and support future childbirth educators really showed throughout the entire training. She made the material so engaging with hands-on techniques, videos, props, and interactive games—all of which I can’t wait to use in my own classes!
Amy is a natural teacher. She makes it so easy for you to learn, even with my background in nursing when it comes to studying and learning as an adult. My mind tends to draw a blank and sometimes wonders when in a classroom setting. Amy was non-judgemental, patient and welcomed any concerns or questions that I had….including probably repeated ones!
