Apprenticeship Requirement:

Step II - Facilitator-in-Training

The Facilitator-in-Training certificate* allows you to assist at other BIB events, teach Birth Into Being Method workshops (Levels 1-3); 1-on-1 sessions with your clients, and integrate the Method into a private practice.**

There are two options: either first take 6 days of the Facilitator Training (FT) course; or, first complete the Post-Apprenticeship Training requirements.

Post-Apprenticeship Training Requirements:

Assist at another Birth Into Being workshop for a minimum of 10 days total (can be done in 2-day increments, in different locations, with different facilitators, it's at the discretion of the facilitator if a daily assistant fee is charged for assisting, or not).

Practice teaching Levels 1-2 and submit 10 positive feedback forms to BIB Central.
Submit 2 recordings of yourself introducing two of the processes (of your choice) to your group. Preferably, video recordings, but if you are technically challenged, audio is OK, too. We will be looking, mainly, at 2 aspects of your presentation: a) the fullness of your explanation of what and why needs to happen, if the process set up was complete; and b) your quality of presence during facilitation.
Submit the electronic self-evaluation form.
Purchase the Apprentice Training Video.
