Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators need to renew their certification every three years.  Does your certification expire this year?  You have until December 31, 2018 to renew if it does.  Part of the renewal process is providing proof of 25 continuing education hours.  Many other professional and licensed professions have similar requirements for continuing education. Lamaze International makes it easy for you to receive contact hours through a variety of methods including webinars. You can find more information on all the online learning available to you here on our Online Education Portal, where past webinars can be viewed and news of upcoming webinars can be found.  Here is a great opportunity to receive contact hours good toward recertification before the end of the year, if you are a bit short.
