This course is eligible for CERPs through the International Board of Lactation Consultants Examiners!

  • Students must have completed at least 45 hours of lactation-specific education prior to registering for the 50-Hour Advanced Certified Blactation Educator/Accomplice Training.

    Lactation-specific education can be obtained through a variety of valid programs, conferences, or professional training opportunities focused on lactation and human milk feeding.

    Proof of prior education may be required before acceptance into this training course. Participants who do not meet the prerequisite will be asked to complete the required hours before attending.

    If you have not yet completed 45 hours of lactation-specific education, we encourage you to begin with our 45-Hour Certified Blactation Educator/Accomplice Training. This foundational course fulfills the prerequisite and provides the knowledge base needed for success in the 50-Hour Advanced Training.
