Sure, there are many other organizations. They all cost $$$.
Only you can decide if getting certified is right for you.

It is not necessary to be certified to work as a doula!

ALACE
CAPPA
Bradley Method- if you take the course to teach the classes you are automatically deemed a doula
Birth Arts International
ICEA
CBE
Birthing from Within
CBI
Birthworks
ACBE

I believe that you can "cross train" between some CAPPA and DONA courses as well.

I went with DONA because I wanted a hands on training, and it was the only one in my area. I chose not to certify for reasons of my own.

BUT the weekend workshop was well worth the money, although DONA would not have been my first choice.

Is it worth the money to certify? That is what you really have to decide, everyones thoughts on that will be different
