      Sleep consultant training

As a registered nurse and new mom, I often felt torn leaving the house for my shift at the hospital. I loved working with patients and making a difference, but I didn’t love the long hours that kept me from my little one. 

Becoming a sleep and parent consultant has allowed me to nurture my passions, enjoy a fulfilling career, and care for my family.

Hundreds of my students have now had that same experience—and I want the same for you!

There are no specific time commitments or deadlines. You’re in complete control of the timeline, so you don’t have to feel pressured or rushed.

What can I expect to earn as a Sleep Consultant?

A motivated and driven consultant who follows the steps outlined in our program can expect to earn back their tuition investment in three months or less.

The Sleep Consultant Certification Program is comprised of eight modules covering both the science of sleep and the business of sleep consulting.

Each module contains:

How does the IPSP Sleep Consultant program compare to other programs ?

There has been a recent uptick in so-called “Sleep Consultant Certifications” and not all were created equal. We encourage you to do your due diligence in researching the credibility of the school you will be enrolling in, especially if the cost seems too good to be true. Many programs lack what you need to be a successful sleep consultant or are outright copy-and-paste fraudulent programs. We want you to be successful even if it’s not with us, so we created a detailed guide on how to spot fraudulent programs here. You can also view this helpful chart.

How long does this certification last?

Unlike other programs, we provide lifetime certification. You won’t pay any renewal fees, and you’ll have access to the course materials, plus any updates, forever!

How does IPSP keep its costs so low?

IPSP® is among the very lowest-cost schools of its kind. But we never skimp on quality. In fact, all of our staff is trained in education, law, or the medical profession to give you the best education you can get.

We do this by employing trained staff with experience in managing website dashboards and modules, uploading top-notch content and offering a multi-pronged personal plus online approach. We constantly update our programs so you’re getting the very latest regulatory and practical information. So you won’t see a sudden jump in price like some extremely low-cost programs that surprise you on the back end with unexpected costs.

You Receive NO Hidden Costs

Our fee has no “hidden” costs. Curious about what goes into the price tag of your education ––  and why “cheaper” isn’t always better?  Read our article about Choosing the Best Sleep Consultant Certification.

Is the IPSP Sleep Consultant Certification program "accredited"?

Yes, our program is accredited by the American Academy of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). The AADP is an independent accrediting board for alternative health educational institutions and programs.

We believe in full-transparency at the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting, using fancy words to mislead our students is dishonest and quite frankly, it’s illegal. With that being said, it is important to note that currently there are no government-recognized organizations that issue accreditation for sleep consulting certification.

Sleep consulting is a private and non-medical coaching service, therefore THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT ACCREDITATION process for ANY SCHOOL

 So yes, we have obtained accreditation from an independent accrediting board as we believe in going the extra mile. However, it is not government accreditation since that is not possible and also not necessary for sleep consulting certification programs. 

I’m interested in more than one class. Is there a discount?

Yes! IPSP offers Bundles ––  three different options for enrolling in our most in-demand classes at the same time, so you save money.

Choose your Bundle and save up to $500. Click here to view our available bundle options. 

Where can I find reviews from past students?

Reviews from our past students can be found here.

What is the IPSP marketplace?

The IPSP marketplace is a one-stop shop that provides you with access to exclusive discount pricing for products and services that you may want or need for your sleep consulting business.

Also included are our recommendations for some of the best free or inexpensive services that are highly rated by our successful graduates. Think of the marketplace as shopping around done for you.
