Who can become a childbirth educator?
Other than specific requirements by organizations, almost anyone can become a childbirth educator (CBE). You do not need to be a nurse, a midwife, or a doula. You really need a more than basic level of knowledge of childbirth, most organizations offer the opportunity to get this education. Places of employment may have differing requirements, if you are intending to become affiliated with a group or a hospital/birth center.
