Parneting classes often vary widely depending on where you attend a class. This is mostly due to the fact that that there is very little trainig available for parent educators. They often have backgrounds in child development, marriage and family therapy, social work or a related field, but no specialized training in parent education or a structured curriculum from which to teach.
Teaching parenting classes can be a highly rewarding career or a great way to augment an existing practive. You do not need to be licensed as a mental health professional to get certified to teach parenting classes. In fact, most parenting instructors teach classes based on hand outs, parenting books and other materials they can gather.
The AJ Novick Group, Inc has created a well structured parent certification program that will teach those interested in providing parent education classes and seminars either privately or at an agency. The training can be taken compleltely online and through a home study program and is a total of 40 hours. There is a structured curriculum that is used for every class session and every student uses the same book "Parenting in the Twenty-First Century, 10 Tools for Better Parenting".
