One course gets you started.
Two take you further.
Families want a Newborn Care Specialist who can explain the why behind the care, not only the how. Over time, the work also gets more demanding, with preemies, higher-order multiples, babies with feeding challenges and high-profile families.
Taking a core course now and advanced study someday often means stalling in between. It also means paying more when you finally buy the second course.
This bundle gives you both at once. Elevate covers newborn care from the medical, developmental, emotional and professional angles, with an AI companion to answer your questions. Advanced then looks intensively at infant brain development, preemies, multiples and high-profile clients.

Is this course right for you?
This course is for you if

- You are an aspiring NCS who wants the full path from the start, or an experienced NCS who wants a refresh and the next level

- You want both courses for less than buying them one at a time
Choose another route if
- You want lifetime access or a lower price for your core course. Foundational and Advanced are sold as a separate bundle.

The learning.
In their words.
The flow makes it easy to absorb and apply right away, and even as a seasoned NCS, I found so many real-world takeaways I can use with my clients.
Tonya's advanced training was thought provoking, detailed and 100% applicable. In my 20 years as a career nanny, this is by far the most comprehensive and worthwhile training I have taken.
Individual experiences, not a promise of outcomes or earnings.
