 What is the difference between ClauWi certified and Babywearing Institute certified?

The Babywearing Institute uses some of the basics all babywearing schools teach but have added material relevant to the North American market along with more research and areas other schools do not find time to dive into. Because of our past teaching experience and a work book developed by the Babywearing Institute, we can move faster through our material. 

Some of the members of ClauWi school from Germany came to help teach the first class of the Babywearing Institute and because those graduates have not received the added education the Babywearing Institute offers, we differentiate in our listings. Having certified through the Babywearing Institute a babywearing educator is literally able to help in any kind of situation, wrap, soft structured carriers, ring slings, traditional carriers, spine+hip development, twin wearing, multiple wearing, children with special needs wearing, nursing and babywearing and much more. ClauWi certified educators know the basics very well and can help with a lot of the questions, however, they do not have the special training for more advanced babywearing education.
