Study to work for the NCT

We are famous for the expertise of our NCT specialist workers, who run our antenatal classes, breastfeeding helpline and drop-in sessions, and postnatal courses. Our flexible education programmes are tailored to your needs and can be completed over a three year period. You only need your own parental experience to become an antenatal teacher or postnatal leader, or six months breastfeeding experience to train as a breastfeeding counsellor.

Breastfeeding Peer Support Training

Raising the breastfeeding rate involves creating a community of support and information for women so that they feel confident in their feeding choices.

Using NCT breastfeeding peer support training can help you to meet your targets to increase and sustain breastfeeding rates and to reduce obesity in children.

NCT peer support training is an effective means of creating a positive environment that enables women to continue breastfeeding by training their peers to offer practical and emotional support at a local level..
