Applying to the Indie Birth Midwifery School
Step 1: Read this MANDATORY (and we are generally not bossy at all, but we really mean MANDATORY on this) IBMS Packet
Step 2: Submit your application and set up an interview time.
Step 3: If accepted, you will need to sign our contract and put your tuition through
There are extremely important details about our program and our policies in the packet and also that you will need to acknowledge on the checkout page so do not skip this step.
Hey! This page of our website is admittedly EXTREMELY BORING, so if you haven't already explored our Mission, watched some inspiring birth videos that demonstrate the power of this work, read about the incredible curriculum, or checked out all our inspirational teachers, you should definitely do all of that FIRST.
When you're sure you interested in enrolling in our program, come back here and read the boring details about how to do that. We try to make the process as fun and painless as possible. We love doing interviews, and we hope to see you for one super soon!!!!
We want to be totally transparent and have no hidden fine print. ALL REQUIRED DONATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE $11,111 TOTAL for the Indie Birth Midwifery School Program (which includes the Intro, 40 Week and Advanced Programs).
While we feel that our school is complete in terms of classroom learning, it does not include an apprenticeship nor do we currently have formal apprenticeship agreements with preceptors. We are happy to help connect you with opportunities and support you in finding an apprenticeship though. Our goal is that during or after you complete the program, you will be a valuable asset to any team or practice as an assistant or apprentice.
Indie Birth Private Contract Association (including Indie Birth Midwifery School) functions as a Private Contract Association (PMA) and all students and faculty must be members of IBPCA. Contract/application will be offered to you with enrollment package.
