Review Time
I did the Advanced Diploma. Although it duplicated many of my previous trainings, I really liked the frameworks behind the teaching. It proved to be really in-depth and very different to what I'd done before. I can see what's going wrong with traditional antenatal classes now. I'm glad I did this because before I thought my classes were good (and so did my parents), but really, not so much!I like the animations and the crosswords, just a different way to learn. There is a lot of tech inside the course. A few of the links didn't work, but Jeanette, the student support advisor, got these fixed fairly quickly. What I also liked about the course was the professionalism and the way it was run. I had a welcome Zoom call with my tutor, which took me through the course and how to get the most out of it. I got stuck a few times, and Rebecca (one of the tutors) was happy to jump on a private call and help me. The tutorials were communicated to you by an online calendar - if anything changed, you'd know immediately. One of the tutor's fathers died recently, which meant a few of the tutorials changed, so although it was a difficult circumstance, it meant we were kept in the loop. Much better than emails that you could easily miss. I'm looking forward to the in-person workshops, especially the AI marketing one. The Advanced Diploma is a vast course, but I'm still not through it. I'm impressed by how they maintain such a big course and keep us up to date with things like AI, automation, and copywriting. It's really advanced stuff, and you can tell that Lizzie really is an expert. She has won awards for her company, I'm not surprised!
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.
