Hi Michelle,
Im up for my first recertification in
2009. I could just resit the exam or get enough CERPS. Both arent cheap. Finding
time to keep up with both midwifery and lactation conferences is hard and
expensive. I can probably only justify one every two years to be fair on my
family! I think with a lot of people though,that unless they are working within
a position where LC qualifications are essential then they see little value in
the recertification. They have the knowledge, they are utilising it as midwives
without having to have an expensive recertification. There are few positions
that require IBCLC qualifications. Usually only hospital LC or private practice.
I intend the latter, so will be working on getting the CERPS. I did a
fantastic course through our area health service, facilitated by our area CMC
lactation, and partially funded by our department. We have squillions of IBCLCs
on the coast due to this course (over 100 in past 5 yrs).
