Pros and cons
Pros
- A single £39 payment opens 12 months of access, which reads more clearly than a rolling subscription price.
- A refund window of 14 days matches the median money-back period in this ranking, 14 days.
- Offline download is included, so lessons travel with the learner rather than needing a connection.
- Support covers email, help centre and community, so help is not locked behind a single channel.
- The platform type is curated, so the £39 buys a chosen library rather than browsing time on an open marketplace.
Cons
- There is no free tier, so the library cannot be sampled before paying £39.
- Course material runs in English only, which narrows who can follow the pack.
- A refund window of 14 days ranks 68 of 159 brands, so it is not the longest guarantee in the field.
- Entry at £39 is higher than DRCertifications at $19.99 and Academy for Health and Fitness at £25, which matters for buyers shopping on ticket price alone.
Who it suits
- Parents and birth workers who want a curated digital pack in English rather than a broad course marketplace.
- Learners who study away from a reliable connection and need offline download.
- Buyers comfortable paying £39 once and using the library inside 12 months.
Who should look elsewhere
- Hotmart, for readers who want a broad marketplace with $0 entry pricing rather than one named pack.
- DRCertifications, for budget-first buyers who want a narrower certificate course at $19.99.
- Academy for Health and Fitness, for anyone focused on health and fitness who wants entry at £25.
Where it sits among rivals
On entry price the pack ranks 113 of 220 brands tracked on this site, so it sits in the middle of a wide field rather than at either end. Its refund window ranks 68 of 159 on the money-back measure, a little under the midpoint. Read together, the two ranks point to a mid-priced pack with a mid-length guarantee, which is exactly why it earns a line by line comparison against cheaper and dearer neighbours.
What it does well
The pack opens 12 months of access from a single payment, which suits anyone who prefers a fixed study window to rolling renewals. Offline download is included, so lessons can be taken away from a connection. A refund window of 14 days gives room to decide whether the material fits before the commitment hardens. There is no free tier to browse first, so the value has to be judged from the pack description before buying.
Free plan and trial
There is no free tier, and nothing can be browsed before paying. The only fallback is a refund window of 14 days, so an early buyer can reverse the decision and move on. Readers who prefer to test a platform first should treat that window as the deciding factor, and read the course list in full before checkout rather than after it.
Who runs it
The provider is The Positive Birth Company Ltd, based in the United Kingdom. Support runs on email, help centre and community, so written help and peer answers in a community cover the recurring questions. There is no named accreditation or licence listed for the material, which matters if you need credits that count outside the pack itself.

Frequently asked questions
How much does The Positive Birth Company cost?+
The digital pack is sold at £39 and covers 12 months of access to the curated library. It reads as a single purchase rather than a monthly or annual subscription, so there is no second payment date to plan around. What you are buying is time on the library rather than a narrow single lesson.
Is there a free tier or free trial to sample first?+
There is no free tier, so nothing can be sampled before paying £39. The nearest thing to a trial is a refund window of 14 days, which lets an early buyer reverse the decision. That is the only concession on offer, and it is a short one for anyone who wants a taster first.
How long does access last after buying?+
The pack includes 12 months of access from the day of purchase, which is the practical limit on your study window. Anything you do not work through inside that period sits outside the deal, so pace the modules rather than binge them. For readers weighing renewal, treat the access period as the real length of the product.
Which languages is the course material available in?+
Course material is listed in English, so anyone learning outside that language should check the catalogue first. There is no wider language list to choose from, which narrows the audience for households that would otherwise split study between languages. Anyone needing a second language should weigh that before buying.
Can lessons be downloaded to watch offline?+
Offline download is supported, so lessons can be taken off the connection and watched on a commute or in a room with poor wifi. That matters more here than on a platform that streams only, because the pack is a library you dip into rather than a single sitting. Download before you travel and the access period starts working harder.
Who runs the company behind the pack?+
The pack is sold by The Positive Birth Company Ltd, based in the United Kingdom. That is the entity named in the terms, which is where a complaint or refund request would go. Buyers who want a named counterparty and a clear home base can find both here; those who want a global operator may prefer something larger.
How do I get help if a lesson does not load?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community. That means a written route for queries, a help centre for recurring questions, and a community for anything the help centre has not covered. Refund and access questions tend to fit written channels well; anything urgent about your own progress is less well served, so expect a reply rather than an instant answer.
How does this price compare with other course platforms?+
On entry price the pack ranks 113 of 220 brands tracked here, which is a middling spot rather than a cheap one. DRCertifications lists entry at $19.99 and Academy for Health and Fitness at £25, so a buyer after the lowest ticket price finds both cheaper. The trade is a full pack for the higher entry point.
