Lisa - Yeah i think a birth attendent is the same as a Doula. They do the same thing anyway. I'm going to be doing a course via correspondence. It's located in Sydney and i'm in Newcastle, so it was the only way. It goes for 20 weeks and they send out books and work for you to do and you send your 'homework' back to them. In that 20 weeks you also have to attend 3 births as a trainee birth attendent(which is free for the couple that hire you) I have to find these people myself, which shouldn't be too hard with BB available! I have to write an account of these 3 births and also of the labour and birth of one of my own children and send it to them.
I think I got a Credit from memory. I have the hard copy filed and the electronic copy should be on hubby's computer. How did you do? I HATED that essay. Thankfully there aren't too many as bad as that! Although I believe the whole degree structure is changing next year so who knows what will be in store after that? But feel free to check with me about assignments, I kept everything.
