How to become an Instructor

Step 1

So our full instructor training kicks off with online prerecorded training which you work through in your own time. You can do this evenings, weekends, on your lunch break or in the dead of night. It’s super flexible to fit around any lifestyle!

When working through this, you will be in a training group on Facebook where you can share your thoughts and have discussion with your fellow trainees. This is also where you will complete associated activities.

Step 2

There are activities to go alongside the modules. These are a mixture of exploring resources, creating infographics, recording a short video explaining a topic, researching and gathering statistics.

None of the activities involve essay writing. We believe that this training and this work should be accessible to those who don’t necessarily learn in the way that traditional education focuses on. We are well aware that specialist fields such as birth work often attract those who are neurodiverse and we want to ensure that no matter who you are, you can find a way to show us how well you understand the subject matter.

All activities are submitted at any time from the start of the training into the training FB group.

Step 3

The training finishes up with the face to face weekend. This is where the whole group gets together (in Northampton) and we teach a course from start to finish. By the end of the weekend, you'll be a hypnobirthing instructor, ready to teach a full-blown course like a boss the very next day if you want to.

We're not here to bore you with theory and textbook crap. Nope! We're all about getting you in the driver's seat and showing you how to facilitate a class like a goddamn pro. Expect hands-on activities that will get the interaction flowing with your clients, making your classes engaging and fun as fuck.

Step 4

At the weekend, you’ll be provided with an instructor manual and as long as your activities from the training are complete, you’ll receive access to all the resources and the main Birth worker community on FB.

So you can REALLY hit the ground running!

Thats it!

You’ve done it!

But wait, there's more! Here's what you and your clients will get after training with us:

No Monthly fees AT ALL
No yearly fees
Lots of handouts for your clients on lots of the subjects that they will come up against during their pregnancy (Induction, VBAC, caesarean and loads more!)
A client handbook
An Instructors handbook
Lesson plans
Monthly group zoom calls with all instructors to riff ideas and learn new things
Weekly drop in sessions with Jade & Alix
Reading lists to increase your knowledge.
MP3s to record in your own voice (or use ours) We will record MP3s you can use on an online course if that’s your business goals!
US! We will hold your hand and help you build a business you are proud of.
Anytime we learn something new, SO DO YOU!
In addition to all the other incredible resources and support you receive, you have the option to include The Birth Uprising Online Hypnobirthing Course for your clients, completely free of charge. Together, we're revolutionizing birth education and empowering families for a positive and transformative birth experience.

So, when you train with us, you not only gain the tools and resources to excel as a Hypnobirthing teacher, but you also receive ongoing support and access to valuable materials for both you and your clients. Let's embark on this journey together and create a lasting impact on the world of birth!

Description text goes hereYes! You get out what you put in with any small business and if you begin without much time to devote to it then expect it to start slow. The more time and work invested into it, the faster the trajectory towards a steady stream of clients. Some of our instructors do this work alongside full time jobs, families etc and others do this as their sole income. The amount you can earn varies based on what services you provide, how often you provide them, the prices that you charge and how much marketing you do to increase the chances of being seen by potential clients.
Conversion instructors get access to the training and resources immediately. Full training folk will be invited to join a FB group with their fellow trainees and access to the online modules on. the day the course start date. They will then receive their resources and access to the main group upon completion of the course.
No, we believe in making the training accessible to as many as possible which is why we offer payment plans of up to 18 months for our full training and 12 months for our conversion training. Payments must be made as agreed and missed payments caught up on ASAP alongside clear communication. Failure to keep up with payments will result in removal from the community and permission to use TBU resources denied.
Full training involves practical activities involving research, creating content and explaining aspects of hypnobirthing throughout the online modules followed by a short presentation at the training weekend. When these are completed to a high standard and any necessary feedback given, then the trainees will receive their certificate of completion.
Full training groups are given access once they have completed their training.
TBU instructors have access to:
-a 70 page workbook that can be given in printed form or sent electronically to clients. The front cover of this can be changed to suit your branding as long as The Birth Uprising logo is displayed on this. Separate handouts from this can be given instead of the full book if you prefer to use alongside your content. -The Birth Uprising scripts recorded by us and written by Ruth Olayinka are supplied for you to use as is with your clients. You also have permission to record these in your own voice. -A folder of copyright free scripts for you to record for an online course and for various special circumstances. -Resources PDFs on various special circumstances for you to send to your clients for easy recommendations of additional reading for them where relevant. -The Birth Uprising client hub for use by your clients with videos on Breastfeeding, a prerecorded baby massage course, yoga positions for birth, breathing, using slings and starting solids. -Printable teaching resources for use in your classes. -Session plans for you to use for reference, we encourage all our instructors to change and reshuffle these to suit them as well as edit and add to them to make the sessions their own.
There is no requirement to use ANY of the TBU Academy resources if you are passionate about making everything yours. Many conversion instructors come to us having already created their own resources and this is completely fine!
Not at all! If you are passionate about providing inclusive birth education to birthers and their birth teams then this is the job for you! If you are willing to put in the work it takes to start your own business, network and learn all the new skills involved in setting up and running a business (with our training and expertise to help you along the way) then you can absolutely make this work for you!
Not particularly! We are passionate about our instructors feeling free to run their business the way that they choose. We simply want a community of safe and inclusive birth workers who are respectful of others, promote informed choice and are always willing to learn and better themselves, you can read our terms and conditions here.
