We know that breastfeeding is teamwork. It’s about knowing how breastfeeding works, knowing how newborns behave and knowing where to get help.

(This course was previously known as ‘Mother Supporter’)
This course will ensure that you have a good knowledge of normal breastfeeding, and fill in any gaps you may have. As a Peer Supporter, you will offer support and encourage normal breastfeeding, not solve complicated breastfeeding problems. We anticipate that the 14 lecture sections and two breastfeeding observations will need approximately 35 hours of study.
Please note that as the Peer Supporter course is for voluntary work it cannot be associated with any business, and must be kept separate. If you wish to associate a breastfeeding support qualification with your business then the Foundation course is suitable.
Our BRAND NEW online learning platform is very near completion so we are now able to accept applications. Please bear in mind that there may be a delay of several weeks before your application is accepted and you are invited to enrol, because we’re still adding the final touches to the new course.
An application form (link below) must be completed before you proceed to order the course online. Do not purchase this course without being formally accepted or you risk losing your fee.
Eight modules by email with online and real life support. Takes approximately 2 years to complete.
Please note: The Peer Supporter module must be passed before starting Breastfeeding Counsellor training
A 16 week course that gives you a grounding in normal breastfeeding and human lactation (for professionals or those who may not have breastfed).
This course follows a syllabus very similar to that of our in-depth breastfeeding counsellor course.
