Become A Doula In Just Nine Weeks
CCAC’s new Doula program is the first of its kind in the region—a formal curriculum developed in partnership with the Pittsburgh-based organization Masters of Maternity (MOM).
The program was created by professional doulas and midwives who recognized the urgent need to provide better care for pregnant people and their families. Its comprehensive training qualifies students to support the entire reproductive journey, from fertility through pregnancy, labor, childbirth, postpartum, breastfeeding and bereavement.
Doulas are currently in high demand. After completing the program, graduates will have the skills necessary to work for hospitals or doula agencies. They may also choose to set up their own practice, serving up to three or four families per month.
CCAC's Certificate Program
In just nine weeks of classes, held Tuesday and Thursday evenings, students gain 27 hours of instruction from practicing doulas and midwives.
Classes combine hands-on learning with virtual teaching and online interaction for maximum accessibility.
In addition to perinatal training, the Doula program prepares students to start their own successful business, including marketing strategies, managing clients and beginning the application process for Medicaid reimbursement.
Upon completion of the Doula program, students will receive a Comprehensive Perinatal Doula certificate, which attests to the graduates’ ability to support the full spectrum of reproductive services offered across the various disciplines of perinatal doula types.
Doula certification is granted by Masters of Maternity in partnership with CCAC.
