ICEA CERTIFICATION PROGRAM - CERTIFIED EDUCATORS

ICEA now offers a special certification program for childbirth educators who are or have been certified by another organization and wish to become ICEA certified.

There is no fee to enroll in the program; however, educator must be an ICEA member or include the ICEA membership fee when they enroll. In addition, proof of current or prior certification with another organization must be included with the enrollment form. Educators enrolling in this program may purchase the ICEA study modules for $30 (US) at the time of enrollment. The study modules will help educators prepare for the certification examination.

Once an educator has enrolled in the program she will be sent information on taking the ICEA certification examination. Educators have one year from the date of enrollment to take the examination. The examination fee is $200, unless taken at ICEA's annual convention; as a convention registrant the fee is $99. Recertification is required every four years.
