Why take Father's Ed?
There are plenty of new-parent classes out there, but we wanted to create something that would serve as a practical day-to-day breakdown of what to expect outside of what’s typically offered at local hospitals. Virtual classes tend to make great complements to in-person classes, rounding out your knowledge and building your confidence.
Virtual classes (like Father's Ed)
Great for learning what to expect and deep-diving into everything from pre-birth preparation through the first few weeks of fatherhood. Also great for learning at your own pace.
Pros
- Take it anytime, anywhere
- Informative and entertaining
Hospital and other in-person courses
Often good for getting to know the hospital you’ll be giving birth at and also learning the fundamentals of child care and safety in a hands-on environment.
Pros
- Learn more about the hospital
- Meet other soon-to-be parents

Our + 60 money-back guarantee

Hi, we're John and Paul, creators of this course
We’re dads to four kids and co-founders of Fathercraft, where we make online parenting classes, do baby gear reviews, and build stuff for new fathers
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
We’re actually not going to answer this one. Our customer 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.”
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 (support@fathercraft.com) 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.
If you need any help with gifting, hit the chat button in the bottom-right or email us at support@fathercraft.com
Father’s Ed is a self-paced, on-demand video course.
You’ll have lifetime access 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.
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.
If you’re using Babylist, just use their bookmark bar tool to add Father’s Ed.
Our scriptwriter actually wrote a bunch of corporate training videos that went viral, so you’re in good hands.
Plus, videos are broken up into short, digestible chunks—the longest one is about 15 minutes. So, they’re easy to fit into your schedule. And, since you can watch from your computer, tablet, or phone, Father’s Ed is easy to take on the go.
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 “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.
I feel much more prepared after completing this course. The information is presented in an easy to understand and entertaining way. The checklists are very helpful too!
My husband and I are having a baby boy at the end of March and he found Fathercraft a few months ago. We’ve been watching the Father’s Ed episodes over the last few weeks and they are really good! He has great informations and knows how to keep his audience engaged and laughing. His included workbook is actually something my husband reads through while watching! And from a mother to be’s perspective, I truly appreciate some of the advice he gives. We’re really happy we came across this!
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.
