Our Mission

The National Doula Certification Board’s mission is to set the standard for the professional practice, training, and learning outcomes for the doula profession. This is achieved by creating a standard of professionalism, preparedness, knowledge, and skill for doulas and establishing a national certification process that can be used with confidence by any interested party as a measure of an individual’s qualification to practice as a doula.

The Certified Professional Doula Credential

The Certified Professional Doula credential is issued by the NDCB, qualifying individuals to work as professional doulas. Having sought accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the NDCB is set to become the first organization to obtain such accreditation for the doula industry. By setting the standards for qualification to practice as a professional doula, the NDCB aims to standardize requirements for individuals who apply for certification and to maintain the levels of performance of all practicing professional doulas throughout their careers.
