Hi!
I hope this is a good place to ask this, before I go ask IBCLE itself. I feel like I must have just missed something. I read the new exam eligibility requirements yesterday, and while the number one option is "Graduate from a lactation specific academic program," they say later in the pamphlet that "IBLCE is aware of only two programs that grant a degree or certificate in lactation and, to our knowledge, neither program meets the new requirements." So the top new path to certification isn't physically possible yet? Did I miss something there? I was looking at a IBCLE certified program that works for the lactation-specific education, but that seems to be a different thing, as it's listed under option 3 for people who are already working with bfing moms.
Here's the requirements pdf link: http://americas.iblce.org/documents/...eb06.30.08.pdf
