Newborn and Infant Certification (20 hours)

The Newborn and Infant Care Certification is a standalone program for anyone who cares for babies. It can be taken at any time, with no prior training required. 

Taught by 30+ college faculty, not by other nannies. You learn from doctorates, pediatric nurses, child psychologists, registered dietitians, attorneys, and certified teachers. Every instructor holds an advanced degree and at least 5 years of experience.

20 hours, 100% online, 24/7 on-demand. Each class is a faculty-taught video with a study guide you keep as your textbook. The study guides prepare you for the quizzes and the final exam.

The Nanny Institute is an NCFE CACHE approved centre. This program also meets the training requirement for the US Nanny Association's Newborn and Infant Care Professional (NICP) credential.

After you enroll: pay your tuition → check your email, including your spam folder → sign the enrollment agreement and upload a government-issued ID → your classes unlock in about 45 minutes.
