Yes, New Beginnings Doula Training programs are entirely self-paced. There are no start dates, no open-enrollments dates, and no time frames to complete assignments. Because we all live busy lives, we understand that it can be hard to commit to a regimented schedule. Pausing or taking extended breaks from your training is also allowed and acceptable. We often can’t predict major life events that consume large amounts of time. Though you will have no required classroom times or attendance, we do strongly encourage potential students to self-assess their current time commitments, and then, plan to dedicate a specific amount of time per week towards doula training, such as 5 to 10 hours per week.
