Greetings all,

I write about breastfeeding online at Bellaonline.com, and I've been
following this group for a while, but this is the first time I am writing.
I currently have no professional credentials, only my own personal
experience breastfeeding and lots of problems I had to solve with my first.
I'm often the "lay consutant" around here with friend and friends-of-friends
(very careful with the scope I allow this to take).

I do want to pursue something like the CAPPA CLE (certified lactation
educator) program, with the aim of possibly teaching breasfeeding classes,
support groups or maybe assisting LCs at local hospitals/feeding centers.  I
am not interested at this time in pursuing any sort of an LC (IBCLC or
other) and doing any sort of private practice or one-on-one consulting.
I've also ruled out pursuing LLLI leadership at this point.

But I wondered if anyone here had any experience with the CAPPA program, or
had something similar I should be looking into before starting this program.
Have others done it?  Have thoughts or impressions of it?  Worked with CAPPA
CLEs and have a sense of their ability level?  Any info or insight would be
appreciated.  I'm currently planning on enrolling in their distance learning
program.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and time....
