Antenatal Educator Training to Sure Start

YOU KNOW BIRTH, BUT ARE YOUR PARENTS REALLY READY?

Professional Antenatal Teacher Training –

If you’re searching for antenatal teacher training, chances are you already feel drawn to this work.

Maybe a personal experience sparked your interest in birth. Perhaps you’ve supported friends through birth, or you’re looking for a career change and want to do something meaningful.

And now you want to teach antenatal classes. That makes complete sense.

But then you start working with parents — and you discover that despite knowing birth inside out, there is still a gap.

Parents come into your classes nervous and leave feeling confident and prepared. Then birth happens, and they’re reeling. Afterwards, many parents report feeling unprepared, unheard, or unable to advocate for themselves.

You covered the scenarios. You went through their options. So what happened? The problem is maternity system is in crisis. Rates of induction, intervention, and caesarean birth are escalating fast, whilst mental health and birth trauma impact around 50% of parents.

Information alone doesn't prepare parents for pressure from the maternity system

The Level 3 City & Guilds Diploma in Antenatal Education was designed with this reality in mind.

It includes everything you would expect from professional antenatal teacher training: evidence-based birth education, informed choice and advocacy.

But it goes further.

This training uniquely integrates psychology, neuroscience, advanced teaching skills, coaching techniques and nervous system regulation. So the parents you support are not simply better informed about birth. They are better prepared to navigate it.

BECOMING A TRUSTED GUIDE

A Different Approach to  Antenatal Teaching Training 

With media attention highlighting the maternity crisis services, the demand for independent antenatal education is increasing — but parents are also becoming far more selective about who they trust to guide them through this time. Families are actively seeking educators who can offer enhanced preparation, and many are willing to travel considerable distances to attend classes they believe will genuinely support them.

This diploma is designed to prepare you for that level of responsibility. No previous experience needed!

Inside the training, you’ll explore some advanced, but fascinating areas of birth education — and learn how to apply them confidently in your own classes with our in-person workshops and online practice sessions!

Plus, extensive lifetime support with your marketing.

Skills You Will learn…

* Apply trauma-informed practice so antenatal classes remain psychologically safe while still addressing complex or emotionally sensitive topics around birth and parenting.

* Use coaching and reflective questioning techniques to help parents think through their choices and align their beliefs with a more positive mindset.

* Teach using advanced adult-learning strategies so information is retained, understood, and applied — even under pressure.

* Integrate neuroscience and psychology to understand how stress, safety, and emotional state influence learning, confidence, and decision-making in pregnancy.

* Deliver education using the 3D rEvolution™ framework, supporting parents across three critical areas: Continuity and community, Mindfulness and mental health and autonomy and authenticity.

* Guide parents through complex birth choices using advanced decision-support tools, including ATI’s MINI-BARR and Decision Tree, helping families explore options clearly and confidently.

* Facilitate open discussions about birth, intervention, and uncertainty while maintaining balance, professionalism, and trust.

* Learn to design teaching plans and classes that support neurodiversity and inclusivity – and that enhance your ability to secure teaching contracts in places like the NHS.

Many students are surprised at how eye-opening and empowering learning ATI’s methods and techniques are, because it completely changes how they think about antenatal education.

Every concept is broken down clearly and applied step-by-step so you can confidently use it in your own classes.

We even give you a full range of teaching plans to help you build confidence!

Meet Your Mentor – Lizzie

(The one with the pelvis!) Lizzie is a best-selling author and multiple award-winning educator who started her career training as a midwife, before turning to Antenatal Education.

Fast forward, 1000’s parents, 1500 students, 16 years of research and 9 years of post-grad study later, Lizzie will be showing you how throwing away the “rule book” about perinatal education is the best thing you can do to build an impactful, powerful and life-changing service for your parents.

These are the exact methods that got parents travelling 2 hours to her classes and dream celebrity clients book her services !!

Ruth, Mia and Becky also teach on this course!

“This company was recommended to me, and because of the money-back guarantee, I decided to give it a go. Loving it! Especially the live tutorials and the variety of learning materials. I feel mentally stretched and energised. Found my village! Thank you Lizzie.””

Pay in Full Bonuses

When you enrol and pay in full, you’ll also receive the following professional support bonuses designed to help you move from training into teaching with ease and confidence.

Private Launch and Grow
Strategy Session

Receive a 1:1 private strategy session with Lizzie to design your first antenatal offering and map the journey parents will take through your services.

Getting this right is a key step to quickly and easily filling your classes.

We’ll also look ahead and map how future services could fit into your practice, so as your work grows everything connects together like a well-oiled cog, rather than becoming a jumble of disconnected offerings.

Done – With – You
Marketing

While you focus on your training, we’ll help you prepare the marketing foundations that attract parents.

Together we’ll map your first “funnel” – a blog outline, freebie download to gift your parents, emails and social media content so your marketing takes parents from discovering you to booking.

Because most parents book around three months ahead, you can begin taking bookings during your training and qualify with classes already filling.

Insurance 

Westminster Insurance Affiliation

Antenatal Training International has gained affiliation with Westminster Insurance. This partnership has been awarded in recognition of our exceptional quality courses and ensures that all our students can be covered for a discounted fee in any area we train in! 

Your questions answered…

None! Your qualification doesn’t “run out”, it doesn’t need renewing, you are not tied to any licencing or membership. After the Antenatal Teacher Training you are an independent practitioner.   

Anywhere you deem suitable. This maybe your home, it maybe a community centre – I’ve even taught in a yurt, wedding venues and a boat!  Inside the Antenatal Educator  training you will  discover lots of tips on how to choose venues, how to manipulate venues – even how to source venues depending on the weather and season!! Intrigued much? lol

Its certainly unusual I will grant you that, but in reality all birth workers, no matter what specialist area they work in, are by nature and need, evidenced based. I have come across accredited training which not only was a loads of twoddle, but also highly dangerous – why? because the teacher in question had no idea about research (or no interest in keeping up to date). 

As for the other more unusual modules – well again, its not just about the birthing person, its not just about the neuro typical parent, to give well rounded brilliant classes you need to be able to flex and adapt to all parents needs. 

Your training consists of  the online self paced modules, as well as a series of live tutorials on all manor of subjects. 

Each tutorial is between 1 and 2 hours enabling you to fit this round your schedule and you can pick and choose which ones, and how many you come too. 

We also don’t insist you join of these live, as they are recorded, and we recognise that 7pm UK is probably 3am for some of our students!

These tutorials are a mix of support, chances to get questions answered and to discuss your learnings and insights. 

After your Antenatal Educator training, theses tutorials can continue if you wish! Just because you’ve qualified does not mean we remove the live support.

We also have a Facebook group and CPD opportunities for mentorship lead by the team and guest experts. 

Its very understandable to be nervous – after all learning online is very different to teaching a groups of strangers in person!

ATI gives you the chance to learn and practice hot to tach in variety of different ways – from online live and recorded sessions, to our workshops that help you develop your skills in private and group classes.

We even take you though the different skill set in running retreats and community events! 

So no matter how you want to teach your classes you are covered with plenty of chances to practice.

There are three main reasons really.

The first is the way we teach you – to consciously consider and design your lessons – how you want them to be.  We don’t teach you to teach “our way”. We encourage and support you to explore the way that feels right for you and your parents’.

Of course, we have so many resources included in your Antenatal Educator training that you can, if you want, just pick these up and run with them. Whatever is right for you!

The second thing is our vision to see Antenatal Educators recognised as a valuable part of a parent’s maternity team. To see them recognised as the expert professional we train you to be. This means our training is so levelled up, you will be able to take great pride in your work, but also stand shoulder to shoulder with other professionals (as one student said, I could “hold my own”)

And lastly, but most importantly, is the 3D rEvolution and the ECLAtra methodologies. Combining holistic and evidence-based care to impact a parent’s emotional and mental well-being is THE core reason why ATI exists. 

Just take this simple comparison for an example – our Advocacy training (just this one element from the ECLATra training) is a 16 hour module, whilst others offer this through a 2 hour workshop.   

This the difference between gaining an understanding of a topic or gaining s strong skill set. 

Go beyond simply being an Antenatal Educator. 

Yes, Yes you can!

Ok so lest start with out ongoing extensive marketing training and support. Getting you up and running with your brand, your message and marketing from the moment you enrol – but importantly KEEPING it going beyond qualification!

Instagram likes dropped off a cliff, TikTok reel showing to 3 people (and ones your Gran)? Pop onto a tutorial and gets Pamela’s eyes directly on your feed and  fix the problem!

Lifetime support and lifetime updates for an ever changing, and frankly often confusing part to your business. 

If you don’t have the time to market your classes or simply don’t want to bother with it (who could blame you!) you also have the choice to teach for your UK wide agency BirthWorld CIC. Gain clients on autopilot and just turn up and teach!

Birth World

Well to be honest you don’t know until you try. We wont be for everyone admittedly, and nor do we try.

But to help you decide, we do have a taster experience so you can have a go at some of the modules, see our workbooks and generally see how the backend fits together. 

Just pop to the link below to take a look.

Free Taster Course Experience – Antenatal Training International (antenatal-training.com)

But we also offer a 14 days no questions asked money back guarantee. So if you sign up and its not for you, just let us know and we will pop your money back into your account with no deductions and absolutely no risk.

No absolutely not. There are no entry requirements.

We will support anyone to become the wonderful antenatal educator they can be.

Our training will take you from ground zero to full fledged professional Antenatal Educator

Depending on your circumstances – yes.

Because BirthWorld is a CIC we have the ability to apply for grants and funding for our students to cover their training and business support.
