Group Training CCLS: What makes it unique?
Fulfills the 2023 IBCLC Detailed Course Outline
We use the latest in educational technology (the innovative online platform Thinkific) for easy access to multimedia course materials for your self-paced pre-work —short videos, articles, links, handouts, studies, reflection questions, and assignments—rather than hours and hours passively watching pre-recorded lectures.
Provides a dynamic learning environment
By having our live Zoom check-ins before the live Zoom days you can ask questions, clarify concepts, and go deeper into the materials that interest you. You can also always ask questions using our discussion option on Thinkific. Finally, our live Zoom days allow you to practice the skills you have been learning.
Group Training Provides 6 Live Zoom Days for Deeper Understanding
The self-paced pre-work sets you up to fully participate in our live Zoom meeting days. These days are introducing new concepts and cementing in the clinical and communication skills needed by working with actual nursing families. Group discussions and breakout rooms are a dynamic part of these days.
The Best of Both Worlds
Online self study learning is so convenient but can also be isolating. Having the sessions of live Zoom meeting days combines this convenience with the community many crave. Why not have both?
The Group Training gives you just this, the flexibility of self study work and then the community of a group. Perfection!

Refund Policy / Terms & Conditions
Cancellation Policy: A full refund minus a $75 cancellation fee will be provided upon request up to 45 days before the In-Person portion of Part 1 of the training begins OR until the time a participant submits at least one assignment for the pre-work section of Part 1 to be graded. To be clear, once a participant has turned in at least one assignment for the Pre-Work section, no matter how many days before the In-Person portion of Part 1 this is, no refunds will be issued. After either of these terms, no refunds will not be issued.
Transfer/Make-Up Policy: Should you need to transfer your registration to another training in the future when it is available, you may do so without penalty up until four weeks before a training begins. Once we are within four weeks of a training, we cannot guarantee you a spot in a future training but will accommodate you IF there is a training scheduled and the training is under-enrolled and we have a spot available for a $75 fee. In this case, you may receive very short notice of a make-up opportunity and should plan accordingly. Illness, family emergencies, last-minute babysitting or transportation challenges, and so on, are not our responsibility but we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your situation.
Attendance Policy. In order to provide you with proof of having completed the CCLS certificate requirements, you will need to attend the course and complete all assignments in their entirety. Should you become ill or otherwise unable to complete a training you have started, the Transfer/Make-Up Policy (above) will apply.
