Yes, I used my Doula experience as entry to Uni.

I applied the first time and didn't get in, but then after a year with Doula training and experience behind me I got in.

I would COMPLETELY recommend training as a Doula first, through any quality Doula program, because what you learn as a Doula is fundamental and you do not get it at uni. In my opinion all aspiring midwives SHOULD train as a Doula first.
