I’m struggling to put into words how disappointed I am with Antenatal Training International. It’s only after completing further training elsewhere that I’ve realised just how much I missed out on. I do take some responsibility for not doing more research beforehand, the lack of reviews should have been a red flag, but I hope this one helps future students make the right choice.If you’re looking to get into birth work, it’s likely because you are a deeply caring person. I urge you to invest your time and money with an organisation that reflects that same level of care. Sadly, ATI did not.Throughout my training I received no meaningful support. Every piece of work and even the simplest questions required multiple chases before I got a response. Goalposts have continually shifted with little to no warning. I’ve spent hours completing work, only to find out, after I’ve chased an update or asked a question, that it was no longer required due to ‘changes’. The course materials were full of spelling mistakes, outdated information and inconsistencies. Zoom sessions were repeatedly cancelled without notice or communication leaving me staring at a blank screen after arranging childcare. The “community” was non-existent, a silent Facebook group with only confusing, irrelevant posts from ATI. When I reached out directly to the owner to express my concerns, I never received a reply. For a course that places so much emphasis on feedback, reflection and continuous improvement, this felt deeply ironic.There are far better places to begin your calling in birth work. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. My subsequent training has given me the knowledge, support and genuine community I was looking for and for that I am grateful. I only wish I could reclaim the time and money I wasted with ATI.
