We’re actually not going to answer this one. Our Beta Tester Steven C. is:  “In comparison to the class at the hospital, we found that the material is not as similar as we thought. The hospital provided a scientific perspective of pregnancy and what women should expect during the course of their pregnancy and the labor process. They also gave a tour of the hospital and discussed hospital protocol and policy. One of the most helpful things they taught was infant CPR … We’ve found that the Fathers Ed course has covered everything in between.”

We believe that educated parents are better parents. There are a million decisions for parents to make, and lots of them don’t have clear answers, at least without the right information. We believe in having fun and enjoying the ride—if you’re having fun, you’re going to be a better dad.

You’ll have lifetime access to the course but, the real clock on you is your baby’s due date. You can still get value from the course after your baby is born, but we strongly recommend you complete it ahead of time—firstly, there’s key info about the pre-birth time and the actual birth, secondly, you aren’t going to have a whole lot of free time afterward.

Is “don’t put your baby on the washing machine” common sense? Some would argue yes, but the AAP thinks it bears repeating. 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. You’d be surprised how elusive common sense can be when you haven’t slept in 4 days.

Absolutely. Gifting Father’s Ed is a great way to tell your husband/boyfriend/son-in-law to get his shit together before the baby comes (but in a nice way). Just sign up as yourself, email us ([email protected]) and we’ll transfer the membership to him. We’re even working on a line of e-cards that show you care about him, and that you’ll be anxiously awaiting his confirmation he’s completed the course.

You can try to learn how to feed a baby from a diagram in a book, or you can watch a video and see a dad actually do it. While nothing can replace hands-on experience, Father’s Ed can give you the tools and the confidence to help make you a great parent.

Our scriptwriter actually wrote a bunch of corporate training videos that went viral, so you’re in good hands.

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.

Much of the course will be helpful and relevant if your baby is 1-3 months old, but not all of it. Seeing as you’ve already aced the birth and delivery module, maybe skip that one.

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 30-day no-questions asked money-back guarantee. If you purchased the Gold Tier of the course, you’ll also need to return your package to get the refund.

Just the one where you actually hold the fate of a tiny human life in your hands. Aside from that, once you complete all the video content, email us [[email protected]] a picture of a final filled in page in your workbook with your address, and we’ll send you something cool.

We’re here for you. [email protected] 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. You can pay all at once or in 3 monthly installments. At this time we can only accept payment in U.S. dollars..

Great! We’ll get you digital course access within about 5 minutes, and we’re happy to ship workbooks anywhere in the world (though it may take a bit to get to you). At this time we cannot ship Gold Tier packages outside the U.S.

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.

Yes.
