[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very much a grey area of the law.  A lot of Newborn Care Specialists do file as Independent Contractors, but it's not a black and white issue.  If a family is worried or want to make sure they are 100% correct, then they should pay the NCS as an employee.

As for the training.  I've taken more than one course that was "certified" by the NCSA and they were both junk.  One was a Newborn Care course and the other was a sleep training course.  Now that I know better and have learned more, I would reccomend the training through the Alexandria School.  She has a 6 week online course starting in the next week or so and it's only $300, which is cheap compared to a lot of the NCSA courses.  [/quote]

Can you be specific as to which course you took that was "approved" that you though were junk? I really want to take a NCS training course and would like to make an informed decision. I am not sold on the Alexandria School course either. It is $580 for the Basic and Advanced course. I also did one of their seminars and the speaker was talking about baby wearing and did not even know what some of the most popular baby carriers were!! Not really the kind of education I am looking for.

Has anyone taken a course from The Newborn Care Training Academy? They are newer so I am wanting feedback on their program if anyone has it. [/quote]
