Program details

Overview

Train for a rewarding career as a doula and support families through some of life’s most meaningful moments. Doulas play an important role in reproductive and family care, providing emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after childbirth. Fanshawe’s one-year innovative Doula Studies certificate program is the the first college-level program of its kind in Ontario and combines evidence-informed learning with a Reproductive Justice framework. Through hands-on learning, community placements and entrepreneurship training, you’ll develop the skills and confidence to support families throughout their reproductive journey while building a career with purpose.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
