Self-Study CCLS: Introducing a New Option
Follows the 2023 IBCLC Detailed Course Outline
We use the latest in educational technology (the innovative online platform Thinkific) for easy access to its multimedia course materials—short videos, articles, links, handouts, studies, reflection questions, and two assignments—rather than hours and hours passively watching pre-recorded lectures.
Having regular optional monthly Zoom sessions helps offer the community and accountability many need.
Provides a dynamic learning environment
This one-of-a-kind course structure allows the flexibility to work at your own pace and for you to easily focus on specific areas of that need improvement or special interest.
Course fee includes a free PDF edition of Breastfeeding Answers, 2nd Edition
Retail: $59.95 USD. Nancy’s 2020 text is required or recommended by most professional lactation courses. In our self study course, you have the opportunity to learn directly from the book’s author, plus after the course, you’ll have the perfect resource for your lactation practice. In addition, students shipping to US addresses also receive a 40% discount on its hardcover edition at Nancy’s website.
Regular online access to Nancy and Barbara
We make it easy to get your questions answered and receive the support you need as you make the transition from passion to practice with monthly optional meetings and our discussion feature on Thinkific.
A Balance of Both Worlds
Research clearly shows that sitting quietly and listening to lectures (in person or online) is not likely to bring about the kind of positive behavioral changes you need to become an effective clinician. Unlike other courses that provide mostly pre-recorded PowerPoint lectures, our course uses a wide variety of resources, and gives you regular access to world-class experts and a wide variety of engaging ways to learn.
Having access to the author of one of the premier text books in our field is one of the amazing benefits of this course. Nancy and Barbara will be hosting monthly meetings for Q and A, discussions of the materials, and bonus information.
Take the time you need! We encourge you to finish our course is 4-6 months but we give you a full year+ to finish with our support.
