What a fantastic course! We really looked forward to the sessions and got so much out of it. We feel much better prepared for labour and caring for our baby and have met a lovely group of people in the process. It actually worked brilliantly online too.
We have had the benefit of learning from NCT and meeting some great families in the process. We were dubious about how helpful an online version could be but were pleasantly surprised. Our course leader was fantastic and super approachable. The accompanying WhatsApp group has provided an extra opportunity to build relationships and share ideas
I really enjoyed the online course. Our instructor was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and I feel much more confident about birth and taking care of baby. I feel like we learned how to make informed and empowered decisions, and how to advocate for ourselves and our baby based on scientific evidence.

What is course suitability?
Suitability ranks how suitable an NCT Antenatal course is for your baby’s due date – from ideal through to unsuitable. We calculate this by looking at the number of days between the course finishing and your estimated due date. There needs to be enough time so you don’t miss your course, should your baby arrive earlier than planned.
Suitability rankings for our postnatal courses - Early Days courses and Introducing Solid Food workshops - are calculated by looking at your baby's birth date and counting the days until the course begins.
We recommend using suitability rankings, alongside course location, dates and times to find the right course for you. Using suitability rankings does help ensure you’ll attend a course with others whose due dates or birth dates are similar to yours. Feedback tells us parents have a better course experience when this is the case.
| Suitability | For antenatal courses | For postnatal courses |
|---|---|---|
|
|
This course is ideal for your due date. | This course is ideal for you baby's age |
|
Good |
There's enough time between when the course finishes and your baby’s due date. Other parents on this course will have similar due dates. | This course is good for your baby’s age. |
Ok |
Your due date is either close to the course finish date, or you may be taking your course a little early. Other parents on this course may have either slightly later or earlier due dates than you. | You are ok to attend this course, but your baby will be either a little old or a little young for it. |
Not ideal |
Your due date is either very close to the course end date or you're starting this course very early. You won't have a similar due date to the other parents on this course. | Not recommended as your baby will be either very old or very young for it. |
Not suitable |
This course is not suitable for your due date. You should select a different course. | This course isn't suitable for your baby's age. |
