The NCT is a registered UK charity (no. 801395). We charge for our antenatal and postnatal courses in order to pay the expenses of running the course.
Charges for classes vary depending on where you are - use the course finder to check which band you come under or contact your booking administrator for further information.
Course prices include membership and attendance (for most classes prices are for up to two people but for some they are per person). Please inform your booking administrator if you are already a member, have previously been a member, or don’t want to join at the time of your booking. The courses below are also available without membership.
You can also pay for your course in installments.
"Like many mums-to-be, I was nervous about having my first child. As well as getting through the labour, I was apprehensive about life with a child and experiencing loneliness whilst on maternity leave.
"The NCT antenatal class addressed all these fears in a straightforward, non-embarrassing way (to the relief of my husband!). We learnt in detail about what to expect and I was relieved to find that all the other mums had exactly the same concerns as me. My son Joseph is now four months old and all the mums and babies meet weekly - I've got a great network of new friends."

"What I really appreciated is that most courses look at how to be a better mum through focusing on the baby, while the NCT looks at what it means to be a parent. The course provided a safe space to talk about anything that was on my mind. Nothing we said was rejected. It was also a great opportunity to get used to breastfeeding in public as everyone has their baby with them."

Reduced price options
We would like to make sure every parent can benefit from our courses. We therefore have lower prices for parents on lower incomes or in receipt of certain benefits. These concessions vary, from small discounts of 5% to a maximum reduction of 90% off the full course fee.
Please ask your booking administrator for more details. She will be delighted to help you.
