Dear Students and Colleagues,
We are fully aware of the current global COVID-19 pandemic and we understand it is impacting everyone. We want everyone to be safe. Your health and your family is of the utmost importance.
The Health e-Learning-IIHL team is here for you during this difficult time and we will remain open and working to meet our students' needs as best we can.
We have made several decisions due to the postponement of the IBLCE exam and the COVID-19 pandemic. The following changes will take effect on March 19, 2020. - The LP20 Lactation Exam Practice, which was due to close the last week of March, will remain open. However, its discussion forum is now closed until a new exam date is set by IBLCE. We will then make the decision when to reopen the discussion forums for LP20.
- We will be extending all active students with individual enrollments, by 1 month.
- We will be extending the enrollment of all active students enrolled in our full programs (Full BreastEd Lactation Studies Program, CERPs Recertification Program, Lactation care counselor training program - India) by 6 months.
All students will be receiving an email notifying them of their new expiry date.
We currently have information on our YouTube channel about COVID-19 and Breastfeeding and we will do our best to provide updates and information via our website and on our Facebook page.
This information can be viewed at the following links:
