Why You Should Choose our Program

Our more than 20 instructors are practicing professionals carefully chosen to teach their area of expertise.  One or two instructor programs can't possibly provide the depth of expertise that our cadre of instructors bring.  We have all heard the saying those who can't do teach.  Our instructors are the real deal working every day in their area of clinical practice.  They bring you current, up to date information and offer insights from the front lines.

We offer you the convenience of studying at home on your schedule, not ours.  We know that you are busy so we have designed the courses in manageable segments of about 2 hours each that you can complete in a reasonable period of time when your schedule permits.

Our course saves you money because you study at home.  No airfare, travel and hotel expenses, lost wages or time away from your family.

Our course is comprehensive and designed to cover all aspects of the IBLCE Exam Blueprint so that you are well and truly prepared to sit for your exam.  We have trained successful students for over 15 years so we know what we are doing.

What Our Students are Saying

"Vergie- Please accept this long overdue thank you for all that you have done and are doing for those of us who are on the cusp of writing Boards. You remain an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for being our beacon of knowledge and our fearless leader - your guidance and encouragement so appreciated.
S.S., Alexandria, VA

"I have found that each of the courses I have done so far has been very highly intellectual! The pace is very fast and the lecturers are very knowledgeable. I found the exercises in the handout very helpful."
L.M., Lawrenceville, GA
    
"It was very interesting to review the muscles of the oral anatomy and how they work in sucking and swallowing. I haven't studied them since nursing school, and certainly not with the interest that I have now. I found myself moving my mouth, jaws, and tongue to feel how those muscles are working. I was fascinated to have some "aha" moments as I think about babies that I have worked with who were having difficulties, as I realized what was happening on the physiologic level. What a great learning experience!"
S.D., Tabernacle, NJ

"WOW, This is fantastic! I can now do this during my lunch and breaks and down times."
V.J., Misawa, Japan

"Vergie, thanks for a clear and informative lecture."

"I enjoyed reading through the module.  It really showed me that it takes more than personal experience (i.e. breastfeeding my own three kids for a total of 5 years) to help others with breastfeeding."

"Induced Lactation & Relactation, really thought it was a great lecture and a wonderful gift for adoptive moms or foster moms or even moms who had change of heart for a second chance. Very interesting lecture."
K.T., Gaithersburg, MD

"I wanted to thank you. I thought the class was fabulous. It was so nice meeting you. I learned lots to take the best care of my clients. I love caring for moms and babies."
D.D., Vienna, VA

" First and foremost i want to thank you for an amazing class. I learned so much, and I was able to use it in the office already. I believe it was the moment i truly knew that this is what i wanted to do."
R.S., Fairfax, VA
