Myth vs. Truth: Course Mastery 🎯

Here's a common misconception that holds people back: Do you need to master all 95 hours before you apply for the exam?

The myth: You must master every single hour of material before you apply.

The truth: You need to complete the 95 hours to apply. But mastering the material? That should happen before you sit for the exam—not before you apply.

This distinction matters. You can apply for the exam after you've finished the course and other requirements, then use the weeks between application submission and exam day to deepen your understanding and build confidence.

The goal is to walk into that exam room knowing the material inside and out. Our 95-Hour Course is designed to get you there—with comprehensive coverage and the expertise of someone who's taken the test 5 times.

Myth vs. Truth: Course Endorsement 🎯

Here's something that confuses a lot of aspiring IBCLCs: Do you need an endorsed course to prepare for the exam?

The myth: Your 95-hour course must be officially endorsed.

The truth: No endorsement required. But here's what matters—you need an instructor who knows exactly what you'll face on exam day.

Marie has taken the IBCLC exam 5 times and built our entire course around what actually shows up on that test. We go far beyond the IBLCE's minimum requirements so you walk in confident and prepared.

The difference? It's not about a stamp of approval. It's about expertise, experience, and a course designed by someone who's been in your shoes.
