Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take me to complete the masterclass series?
Virtual classes are self-paced. You can take as long as you need. If you pause a presentation, the virtual classroom will remember where you left off and offer the option to begin there or start over when you return to it. The digital classes are also independent of each other. They may be viewed in any order, and, while we recommend taking the entire series, you can skip classes on topics that don’t interest you.
What devices will allow me to access the virtual classes?
They can be viewed on any device capable of internet streaming.
How long will I have access?
Access never expires, and when classes are updated or new ones are added, you will automatically receive access to the updated or new presentations.
Who gives the masterclasses?
Find out more about instructors on the Faculty page.
Are the masterclasses solely intended for an American audience?
Not at all. The same issues are of concern in most other countries, and what constitutes optimal care is the same the world over. Moreover, because much of the world’s research is published in English, the research literature analyzed and synthesized in the masterclasses has been conducted in many countries, not just the U.S.
I’m in my third trimester, should I still take the masterclass series?
It’s never too late to gather information that can help you make informed decisions and obtain optimal care for you and your baby.
I live internationally, can I still access the masterclasses?
You can access the masterclasses from anywhere in the world that has internet access and at any time that is convenient to you.
Do you provide subtitles to the masterclasses?
Yes, each slide is accompanied by a “Notes” page that contains the narration script for that slide.
Can I download the masterclasses?
Unfortunately, no. CBU masterclasses are streamable only and use specialized online education software that enables you to control the pace and order of the slide presentations.
How can I find out when new classes are posted or updated?
Once you purchase a course, you will automatically receive notifications about new classes and access to updated presentations. Be sure to add henci@childbirth-u.com to your email address book so e-notices don’t end up in your spam filter.
Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?
Absolutely! If you aren’t satisfied, contact us within 30 days of your purchase date, and we’ll refund your money.
