Recertification by exam

You do not need to complete any required education. You simply need to register and pass the IBCLC Exam. If you do not pass the exam, your qualification expires. This means you will have to start the IBCLC Certification process the next year. For this reason, we strongly recommend taking a few courses in areas that you do not typically work in and using some of the following products to help you study. We frequently see people's scores for the CE Self-Assessment, and people do not score well on areas they aren't constantly working in.

This means that no matter your CE - Self Assessment score, and whatever your Personalised Professional Development Plan requires - this course will meet those requirements.

Recertification Ready: 5-CERP Trainings

To recertify by CERPs as an IBCLC, professionals must complete the CE Self-Assessment Exam. The results of this exam, known as the Personalised Professional Development Plan, identify knowledge gaps that require further study. For each IBCLC Detailed Content Outline (DCO) topic scored below 75%, the IBCLC must earn 5 CERPs.

These $50-5-hour Bundles fulfill your required CERPs for each of the Detailed Content Outline topics. These are perfect for when you just need to fulfill a few required topics or 35 CERPs or less! Each Topic is $50.

Our students PASS!

This bundle was amazing again. I took it first 5 years ago before I was a mother and again now as I am 19 months postpartum and it helped validate all the challenges I have had and seen. I knew how I wanted to do things but couldn't explain why. Now I feel my practice will be that much better as I will have the empathy from having experienced the challenges and reinforced knowledge. Thank you for the opportunity to take this course on my own time and revisit this important information for my work with the families in my community!
 As a postpartum nurse I don't have much experience after the first few months so this was very helpful 

 I really, really, really loved these courses. It solidified the fact that becoming an IBCLC was definitely the right career path for me. Thank you!!!!
