Picture
Congratulations on your decision to pursue a course on lactation education. The 24 didactic hour Certified Lactation Educator (CLE®) course fulfills the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative staff training (BFHI), US Core Competencies, doula breastfeeding education requirements, and awards 21.25 L-Cerps from IBLCE. It also include a one year Membership to CAPPA ($75 value). Membership allows you to receive several FREE CEUs annually. You also receive a FREE membership profile page.
​
The CLE training is the prerequisite to enroll in CAPPA Academy, the online certification course designed to instruct and guide students through the process of becoming a Certified Lactation Educator™. 
​Additional coursework and investment required for certification. 
CAPPA CLE®s secure employment teaching breastfeeding classes in hospitals, clinics, community programs and private settings. Many find employment as WIC peer counselors. They can also facilitate breastfeeding  and support groups or work as breast pump rental technicians and in breastfeeding supply stores. The opportunities are endless! Many professionals use this certification to round out their NCS or labor and postpartum doula services to ensure they are providing the highest quality services for breastfeeding support. Several CLE®s use this credential as a stepping stone to achieve the IBCLC Certification.

Please complete all 3 steps. Students must (1) Register, (2) Submit Payment and (3) Download the homework. You will receive a notification that your information has been received and within a week of the training, you will receive the welcome email with specific details and log on information for the training. Fees are collected on the next page.

STEP 1- Registration

You MUST complete the registration form below before you submit payment for your training. ​

    You are registering for the Certified Lactation Educator (​CLE) Training
    ​July 19-21, 2023

    ​Carefully read the following statements and signify that you agree to the terms listed by marking the box prior to paying for your training.
    • I understand that I will need to complete a few homework assignments prior to the workshop.
    • I understand that I should not make non-refundable travel reservations until Birthing, Bonding & Breastfeeding has confirmed the workshop 30 days prior to the course.
    • I understand that I may not record the training workshop (audio or video). I may take photographs only with the express permission of the trainer and the participants.
    • I understand that this course is NOT an IBCLC exam prep course nor does attendance at this course, or certification as a CLE® qualify a professional to perform lactation evaluation, assessment, or diagnosis of lactation related conditions.
    • I understand that the three day training alone fulfills BFHI, Peer Counseling Training and the Core Competencies, but in order to become a Certified Lactation Educator I must join CAPPA and enroll in the online CAPPA Academy course and satisfactorily complete all assignments.
    • As a participant of this training, I agree to allow Birthing, Bonding & Breastfeeding/CAPPA to do the following: ·
      • Collect my name, address, phone number, and email address for the trainee class list and referral list. ·
      • Take photographs of the training which may include me, as well as allow the trainer and CAPPA to use these photographs for promotional purposes online and in print. ·
      • Use quotes from my training evaluations (which I may fill out anonymously) for promotional purposes online and in print..
    • ​I understand CAPPA, or CAPPA Faculty does not assume liability for adverse reactions to foods consumed, or items one may come into contact with while eating at any CAPPA Event, Training or Activity you may attend--whether inside or outside of CAPPA planned events and activities.

    ​Details of Refund Policy:

    I understand that there are no refunds for classes but I can transfer to another course with Birthing, Bonding & Breastfeeding within 12 months of the original course date with approval from Birthing, Bonding & Breastfeeding. There is a $50 transfer fee applied. Non-refundable travel reservations should not be made until Christy Jo has confirmed the class (usually at least three weeks prior to the class start date). If the class is cancelled by Christy Jo, attendees have the option of receiving a full refund or transferring to another Lactation Educator Training with Christy Jo. Certificate of training completion is given only if the entire training is attended, the Pre-Workshop Study Guide is completed, and training fees are paid in full. I have read the above statement and agree to the terms listed
