My understanding is you do not need a degree but you do need to complete the
coursework listed in the 8 subjects and 6 subjects. Feel free to contact
IBLCE to clarify and prepare. If an applicant has a healthcare degree, then
he/she has probably completed much of that coursework already. From IBLCE
FAQ's: "*I’m a La Leche League Leader. May I use my volunteer work to count
toward meeting the clinical experience requirement?*
Accredited, volunteer mother-to-mother breastfeeding support counselors may
use their experience. Every year of service counts as 500 hours of
experience in providing care to breastfeeding families. A La Leche League
Leader will need at least 2 years of active service that was completed
within the 5 years immediately prior to applying for the exam."
Hope this helps and Good Luck; your time will come!
Laurie
