Hi, we're John and Paul, creators of this course


We created Father’s Ed, our parenting class for dads, for our former selves. We wanted to be involved dads, but we didn’t know where to start. Paul had never held a newborn. What do you do when they cry? What paperwork needs to be done before the baby comes?
We built this course to help new fathers prepare, so they can relax and enjoy the journey.

The FAQs of Life
Father’s Ed is built on a foundation of rock-solid research from trusted sources, organized so it’s logical and useful to new parents. Then we added unbridled enthusiasm. Tips, tools, ideas from experts, what has and what hasn’t worked for us as parents to 4 kids. There’s lots of good, free, parenting info on the internet. There’s also a lot of crap and misinformation. With Father’s Ed, we’ve curated the best from experts, added our own first-hand knowledge, and organized it to be fun and helpful to watch. Don’t take our word for it though, check out customer reviews of Father’s Ed.
Here’s Father’s Ed student Steven C:
“My wife didn’t think she was going to get into it with me, but it turns out she is hooked. John is very entertaining too.”
We wrote Father’s Ed with dads-to-be in mind, and John and I are obviously dads ourselves (though our scriptwriter is a woman).
It’s your call. One idea: buy it for your partner, watch some together, see what happens.
We’ll build a gigantic pillow fort and go in there and cry, probably. But, if you’re unhappy for any reason, just let us know, we’ll refund you. We offer a “baby + 60” no-questions asked money-back guarantee. That means anytime between now an 60 days after your baby is born, you can request a refund by emailing us — support@fathercraft.com.
We do indeed! Our course software tracks your progress as you work your way through the video course. Watch all the videos, mark them as “complete” in the platform as you do, and send us an email — support@verblio.com — we’ll deliver your certificate of completion.
We’re here for you. support@fathercraft.com. We can’t answer medical questions, but your pediatrician can, and part of the course is designed to help you find a great one.
We offer all major forms of credit card, and you can also pay by PayPal.
Great! We’ll get you digital course access within about 5 minutes. We can’t offer free shipping of the companion guide outside the U.S., but we’ve made shipping as inexpensive as possible.
It’s also worth noting that when it comes to logistics—insurance, paperwork, etc., and the gear we discuss in the course, we are U.S.-centric, so not all of it will apply. (Though our favorite car seat is Italian and our favorite all-around stroller is British.)
But, at least in our opinion, most of the parenting principles are universal.
And, new dads around the world seem to agree! We’ve had customers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, England, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
Umm it’s beyond compare. Just kidding, there are other solid parenting classes for dads online. We’re biased obviously, but in Father’s Ed we focused on a few things: 1) being comprehensive. A lot of what we’ve found out there is focused, but not comprehensive. 2) being well-researched. We put hundreds of hours of research into Father’s Ed using ironclad sources, so you know the info is rock-solid. 3) being fun. If you aren’t having fun while learning, you’re not going to learn as much (or worse you’ll quit). We guarantee Father’s Ed will entertain you, or your money back.
Plus, while we take our material seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. And we have better t-shirts. Put that all together, we think it’s the best of parenting classes for dads out there. And again, let us prove it to you—try Father’s Ed. If you don’t like it or don’t feel it was worth it within 60 days of your baby being born, we’ll give you your money back. It’s that simple.
The Father’s Ed companion guide is designed to be the perfect companion to the course.
It’s 94 pages of supplemental info, checklists, charts, and more.
You’ll get instant access to the downloadable PDF version of the workbook, and we’ll ship out the spiral-bound copy right away after you purchase Father’s Ed, usually the same day.
We do. Shoot us an email for more information. support@fathercraft.com.
Just send us an email! We respond to all emails within 24 hours, but usually we’re even faster than that.
Such a good resource! The 2 creators of this program clearly are loving and amazing dads who want to share their knowledge with other dads. I would strongly recommend this course! The layout of the course is well thought out, full of good information and delivered in a straight forward way!
Very comprehensive, very comprehensive and thats both a plus and a minor minus. Lots of insight, knowledge and learning, but can be overwhelming at times with all the details and conent. The trick is to take in what works for you and ignore what doesnt. Good to compare with other models, like the French approach which is more relaxed and overall laid back. But overall, a great resource to used as a foundation and work with other material around it.
My wife and I both agreed that Father’s Ed was a great course. We are first time parents and learned a thing or two about what to expect. The dad jokes may be stolen to be used at a later date. Thank you.
As a first time dad and totally clueless about baby stuff, the course was super helpful. Helped me feel confident in my ability to manage and take care of my wife and new baby.
This course is fantastic! As a first time dad to be, I was looking for some guidance and advice and wasn’t sure where to start. I found the Fathercraft Fathers Ed course online and the reviews were great so I went for it. It’s been an invaluable source of information and I feel so much more prepared and confident than I did before. I think it scored me some points with Mom to be too! Thanks to John & Paul for taking the time to make such an extensive guide for Dad’s!
Quick to respond to emails and answered all of my questions.
Perfect cliffs notes for what you need to know before your first baby. Delivery is short, sweet, and funny (if sometimes painfully dad joke funny). So good I bought for other dads before they had a kid.
There is so much information out there about parenthood that it can all be a little overwhelming. Father’s Ed is a terrific way to absorb what you need to know in an insightful and entertaining way. You can watch the videos while you’re on the go or find a spare moment at home. John is an entertaining and genuine presenter with a knack for putting your mind at ease. The workbook is a terrific companion that can be used to follow on, take notes or refer back to. I’ve found it invaluable so far and will no doubt keep coming back to it for reminders. Thanks Paul and John for creating such a great space for new Dads/Dads to be.
