NCT Courses for parents

We’ve been running NCT courses for new and expectant parents for over 50 years and we support over 80,000 new parents each year.

We offer a wide range of courses such as Antenatal, Postnatal and Parenting classes to support you through pregnancy, birth and life as a parent. Every NCT course gives you the chance to get quality information, one-to-one support and to meet other parents who live in your area.

We offer discounts and the opportunity to pay for our courses in instalments. Please contact your local Course Organiser for more information about these.

Course types

Our courses are based on evidence, not opinion. NCT practitioners train for at least 3 years, and update their skills every year. You will find a warm welcome, emotional and practical help and meet some new friends along the way.

NCT antenatal courses help you work out how to approach labour, practice birthing positions and breathing, as well as parenting skills.

Our postnatal courses aim to help you feel more confident and suported in your new life as a parent.
