Hi guys
I'm trying to decide between OB and CBI at the moment as well.
I'm pretty much ready to start but still unsure who to go with though I'm leaning towards CBI like you Trish.
I've seen sample modules from both courses and the CBI course looks to have much more "meat" to it. It just looks more in-depth. But I keep hearing good things about Optimum Birth as well. I guess what has put me off a bit was that I emailed them last year with some fairly in depth questions and it took them two weeks to send me a "form response" email and then another two weeks to actually get back to me with the answers. It made me feel a bit uneasy about whether the support would be there once you handed over the $$? I dunno just a feeling I had.
I was also a bit concerned about the American slant on the business modules in the CBI course - I was thinking a work around might be to just do the business module of the OB course after completing the other course.
I'm also interested in the lactation consultant course as well since I'd like to offer post-partum support.

Anyway now this thread has been bumped I'll keep checking in
