How the sleep consultant training course works
The course consists of 17 online modules, which you complete at your own pace, plus an online assessment that you can take as many times as you may need.
And that’s it! You’ll be a fully qualified infant sleep consultant, with the freedom to choose how you work and the flexibility to be there for the moments that really matter.
What the course covers
The Sleep Consultant Certification Course covers everything you need to know to become a world-class infant sleep consultant. From understanding the all-important basics, from the science of sleep, sleep safety and the sleep environment, through to nap transitions, sleep training methods and failsafe routines for both babies and toddlers, we’re confident you won’t find a more comprehensive course.
Curated and presented personally by us, Dani and Chris, Founders of The Mummy & Daddy Sleep Consultant®, you’ll also benefit from our firsthand experience, having worked with thousands of sleep-deprived families all over the globe. For a full overview of the course content read our Module Overview below.
Make your money back in a matter of weeks
One of the questions we’re asked a lot is how long it takes to recover the cost of the course. At just £399, the answer we tend to give is ‘not very long!’. A sleep consultant will normally charge between £250 and £450 for a virtual consultation, so with some pretty simple maths, you’ll see that with just one or maybe two clients, which we’ll even help you to secure, you’ll easily recover the cost of the course (plus a little more) within a few weeks.

Sleep Consultant Certification & Business Start-Up
If you think you’d benefit from mentoring and support on starting your own sleep consultant business, including all things marketing and social media, in addition to the sleep consultant training, we also offer a Sleep Consultant Certification & Business Start-Up course where you would have your own sleep consultancy up and running by the end of the course.
Our bespoke courses have been accredited by leading training provider, Open College Network (OCN). We chose to partner with the OCN because unlike CPD, the OCN is a regulated body and is considered the gold standard regulated training provider. Sleep consulting is not a regulated industry, so by taking a course like ours that has been certified, you are receiving the highest possible qualification for our industry.
Course Modules
Below you’ll find a breakdown of all the modules we offer and what you’ll learn in each one.
Module 1: Introduction
Find out more about the course structure, what to expect and how to join our exclusive facebook community.
Module 2: The Science Of Sleep
Understanding how a baby sleeps is THE foundation of sleep consultancy. Here you’ll gain invaluable knowledge that will blow your mind, and eventually, those of your new clients.
Module 3: Safe Sleep
Knowing how to keep a baby safe during sleep is absolutely critical to working with families. Learn the golden rules when it comes to ensuring infants sleep safe and sound.
Module 4: The Sleep Environment
Discover how to create an environment that’s conducive to good quality sleep. In this module, we bust the myths and focus on what really works for babies and toddlers.
Module 5: Newborn Sleep
Learn the 4 essential key strategies that can positively impact a newborn’s sleeping patterns in just a few days.
Module 6: Night Feeding
We tackle the common misconceptions that families must stop night feeds and breastfeeding when looking to improve their child’s sleep. Instead, you’ll learn a proven method to help your clients achieve their feeding goals, whilst improving their infant’s sleep.
Module 7: Understanding A Baby's Sleep Needs
We navigate the sleep needs of different age groups as you learn how to build routines that work for babies and young children of all ages.
Module 8: Routines
Routine is the cornerstone of good sleep but if they’re too rigid they simply don’t work. Here you’ll learn our tried & tested, practical routines with room for families to flex to suit their busy lifestyles.
Module 9: Naps & Nap Transitions
Naps are a puzzle for many families and in this module, we look at what’s ‘normal’ and how to overcome the common obstacles. We also delve into some complex nap case studies, so you’re prepared for all scenarios.
Module 10: Sleep Training - The Methods
You’ll learn a variety of key sleep training methods, the pros and cons of each, and in which scenarios they are best applied. You’ll then be equipped to choose the best method(s) for your particular client or scenario.
Module 11: Co-Sleeping
One of the more complex scenarios for a sleep consultant, you’ll learn which sleep training methods we recommend for co-sleeping families, how to navigate the challenges and how to effectively manage clients on this often sensitive subject.
Module 12: Advanced Sleep Training
Using case studies, we go through the most challenging sleep training issues you may face, equipping you with the essential skills and confidence to manage any scenario that comes your way.
Module 13: Complex Scenarios
Learn how to navigate some of the most complex sleep scenarios from using pacifiers or dummies to sleep regressions. Here we’ll share the knowledge we’ve gained through years of experience, ensuring you’re equipped from the outset.
Module 14: Toddlers
Understand why Toddlers are completely different from babies. Drawing from Dani’s degree in psychology, learn what makes a toddler tick, how they should be treated differently from babies, and which sleep training methods work best for them.
Module 15: Other Night Disturbances
Delve into some rarer but still complex scenarios and night-time disturbances, including how to handle night terrors and what to do when a toddler is scared of the dark.
Module 16: Parent Coaching
Communicating effectively with tired, emotional parents is a skill in itself. Learn the best methods to support clients, the types of communication challenges that may arise and how and when to introduce the other parent to the sleep training process (if applicable).
Modules 17: Case Studies
This module is devoted to delving through case studies to see how the theory plays out in real-life scenarios. Unpicking a wide range of sleep challenges and solutions sets you up for success from your very first client.
The Online Assessment
Once you’ve completed all the modules, you’ll complete an online assessment. You can take the assessment at your own pace (there’s no time limit) and as many times as you need to.
