For nearly 50 years, Lamaze International has been the leading provider of evidence-based education programs that prepare childbirth educators to teach with skills and confidence. The Lamaze Childbirth Educator Certification Program is the only internationally recognized childbirth educator program accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) credential is the most respected and recognized credential in childbirth education; it is the mark of a competent, highly qualified childbirth educator.

Our vision is "a world of confident women choosing normal birth." You, as a childbirth professional, have the opportunity to help women achieve normal birth, and the responsibility to stay up-to-date with the research that supports normal birth. These tools will help you work with the women you serve to advance normal birth.
