Is IPEN Placenta Remedies Training right for you?

take our personality test below...

                        

If the following personality traits describe you, we believe you'll make an excellent addition to our network of IPEN Certified placenta remedy specialists.  This job isn't for the faint hearted...you'll need to be flexible, reliable, organised, professional, nurturing and meticulously clean. We know that's a lot to expect of one person but we also know these types of people exist because we've already trained over 350 extraordinary women and men around the world.  Are you ready to join the team?

  • You immediately click on birth videos that pop up on your social media feeds.  
    How could you possibly skip a chance to see and feel the love of a family inviting their new baby into the world...it gives you goosebumps every time and there's a pretty good chance you'll shed a few tears too.
  • Your friends, family and even acquaintances know they can rely on you when they are in need.  
    You offer to support others regularly and it is genuine. You go out of your way to help those you love and care for, you'll even go further for strangers at times, because that's just who you are.
  • You've always thought there was something magical and special about the placenta, even though you may have never said it out loud before, you are now ready to shout about it from the rooftops to anyone who will listen.
pregnant-woman-with-friends-sheknows-com
  • You are practical and resourceful and can easily adjust to a 'change of plans'.  When the task at hand is in need of organising and 'on the spot' planning you are just the person to rely on to ensure the job gets done efficiently and on time.
  • You have the urge to take on a new project, to dedicate time and energy to something special, to follow a new path of discovery and you know this path is calling for you, all you need to do is take the first step.
  • Finding a career that offers a fantastic work life balance as well as job satisfaction is important to you. Wanting to make a positive impact is why you are choosing to work in an industry which brings rewards  greater than just paying the bills.  Stepping out of the rat race and falling asleep with a smile on your face knowing 'you did good' is priceless.

             

"I really love your passion for the placenta..."

“I really love your passion for the placenta and I hope that I can spead that passion when I am working and provide a service that reflects IPENs nurturing ethos which I love. I think that is what sets IPEN so highly in comparison with Placenta Benefits and other companies; such a personal, friendly service is what is most needed for new mums straight after birth.”

“It was a lovely day in a very friendly atmosphere. I felt both the theory and practical session were very good, the course material easy to understand and very comprehensive.”

“I just wanted to tell you how excited I am about everything that we learned yesterday. I thought the day was so informative and personal at the same time. I have been on training courses before where people were trained en masse and it just felt like a money spinner rather than meeting dedicated people who are passionate about the same goal. Thank you so much!”

"I found it very interesting and throughly enjoyed doing the training and was excited to complete all the 3rd party training too. I found the hands on training day great. And was very excited to become a placenta remedies specialist once I had my first encapsulation completed and my assignment done. I am delighted to be part of an amazing group of women who offer this service to new mom's! Xx"

Are you in the UK?

The Food Standards Agency requires all food businesses to register with their local authority 28 days BEFORE opening a new food business.  Registration is free and cannot be refused.  If you plan on preparing placenta remedies for your clients in your own home, a designated preparation space or professional kitchen, IPEN strongly advises you to read this page of the FSA website, contact your local authority and speak to an environmental health officer to discuss the registration and inspection process in detail.  

Prerequisites

Previous training and experience in pregnancy, birth or post-natal support is advantageous. We do not provide any form of birth training therefore a basic knowledge and understanding of the importance of natural birth and holistic health care is an important prerequisite for this course.  If you are not currently working in the birth industry but feel passionately that a career as a placenta remedy specialist is for you, please contact us so we can decide if you have a suitable knowledge base to begin IPEN’s training program, please get in touch by filling in the training application form below.

By following the IPEN training program and becoming additionally certified in food safety and infection control, you will be fully equipped to keep you, your clients and your family safe. We work with human placentas donated from mothers for practical training.

Food Safety - HACCP for UK

Combining efforts with 4 UK foods safety experts, 2 leading UK food safety microbiologists and Jena University Placenta Lab in Germany, IPEN has spent 2014-2016 perfecting the one and only professional Food Safety Management System (HACCP - Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) for the safe preparation of human placenta for mothers after birth.  UK food businesses must submit a functioning HACCP during  registration with the local authority.  IPEN certified placenta specialists can access and implement IPEN's HACCP into their working practice through a license after completing Part 3 of the IPEN program.   If you have any concerns about food safety, infection control or registering as a food business, please get in touch.
