The IBCLC exam is a comprehensive, career-critical exam.
How can you possibly prepare — and pass?
Each year, hundreds of people fail the IBCLC® exam.
Most first-time test takers make the mistake of not taking one comprehensive 95-hour course that is designed to set them up for exam success.
You can’t afford to be one of them.
When people call our office and say they failed, the first question we ask is, “Did you take a comprehensive course?”
Over the past 12 years, in all except a few cases, the answer is, “No.”
Oops.

I took my initial 95 hours from another IBCLC and felt grossly under-prepared.
I did my research, and took additional hours from you. I feel like it made a world of difference!"
