List of Doula UK Recognised coursesWondering if doulaing is right for you? There is a one day workshop that aims to answer your questions before you commit to full doula training. Take a look at the link below: "Introduction to the work of a doula" Doula UK has put together a comprehensive core curriculum for training doulas which all of the courses listed below follow. The courses are all taught in different places around the UK and beyond. Some of the courses focus on or only teach birth and/or postnatal work. The table below gives a very brief summary of what each Doula UK approved course offers, but please check each courses own web site or contact the training organisation directly for more information before deciding which course is right for you. They are listed in alphabetical order.
For trainee/newly recognised doulas there is also a one day workshop focussing on the practical aspects of working as a doula. Take a look at the link below: Completion of a Doula UK approved course (ie one of those listed above) is a requirement for all members of Doula UK. (It is of course possible to become a 'friend' of doula UK without completing one of the above courses.) Please note that there are other courses that teach doula skills, but unless a course is listed here it has not been approved by Doula UK as meeting the appropriate standards. As a result, individuals who have taken courses not listed above will not be eligible for Doula UK membership (other than as a 'friend') unless they then complete one of the above courses. To apply for membership of Doula UK, either as a doula, having completed one of the above courses, or as a friend, please download the following documents and return the application form to us with the appropriate fee.
If you have previously been a member of Doula UK but your membership has lapsed, you can download the membership renewal form here. Please note that although we are looking into developing a system for online applications we are currently only able to accept applications by post.
