So Andrea, if the cert 4 isn't being offered through B.I do you know of,
or
can you recommend a teaching course (ie. how to teach the teacher)
suitable
for midwives to undertake? I have seen a few around but look to me to be
more doula focused/orientated. Or maybe there is a university that you
are
aware of that has a basic nurse educator course...? I am looking for
something that will give me adequate skills to go ahead with active birth
classes and other classes :)
Blessings,
Rachael
