Yes you need to be a member of PC. I am hoping to apply for the same course. Basically,though, its really only worth doing if you can find a PC who needs a childbirth educator, as there is alot of teaching class part to pass. You do get 2 years to do it, and while you could start your won classes somewhere, I'm pretty sure that you have to teach PC ones for a set amount of time (for us its 2 years I think, here in BLenvegas.) Good on you, it looks like a great course, I can't wait!]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 13:52:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=220712&title=parents-centre#220712 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=220517&title=parents-centre#220517 Author: Rachael21

Sorry I should have been a bit more specific I want to do a course thru polytech to be a antenatal class teacher but I need to be a member of parents centre for it. I might give them a call and see what the deal is.]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 21:51:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=220517&title=parents-centre#220517 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=220513&title=parents-centre#220513 Author: jack_&_charli

Usually paying for a course buys a membership for a year, you get kiwi parentmagazine, plus you wont have 2 pay if u want to do other courses over that year. Im a pc committee member, I love it]]> Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:41:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219935&title=parents-centre#219935 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219775&title=parents-centre#219775 Author: Kellz

We dont have to be members to do a course through them here. It is an organisation run by parent volunteers who provide parenting education courses. Contact your local centre- should be in ph book, and talk to them about what they offer, before you join. You can get a subsidy with Community Services Card too. Our local one currently doesnt have many volunteers to run courses, so they are not offering all the classes they usually do. We did our ante- natal classes through them, and found the "baby and you" course that I went to with Isla when she was 3 weeks old, once a week for a month, was really useful. As was the " Moving and munching" course for older babies. ]]> Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:32:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219775&title=parents-centre#219775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219649&title=parents-centre#219649 Author: Faraway

Most of the courses run by the parents centre I am a member of have courses available to non-members (just pay more to attend). You should be able to ask where the course is to become a member. Not too sure what they do ( ) I only joined when I did my antenatal class through them.
They do have some good courses though and once every 2/3 months you get a newsletter etc. but it has a discount voucher for a shopping day at BF.]]> Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:10:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219649&title=parents-centre#219649 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11043&PID=219601&title=parents-centre#219601 Author: Rachael21

I'm looking at doing a course but you need to be a member of parents centre but I have no idea what they are really about and I remember a few people on here are members so:
What does the PC do?
How do I become a member?

Thanks ladies
