BBCEs also have a private Facebook page for educators only, to gain knowledge and feedback from other BBCEs. There is no additional charge for certification and no requirement for membership or recertification. Once you have completed all the requirements you will be eligible to apply for certification as a Birth Beautifully Childbirth Educator.
