Royal Surrey Birth & Beyond vs NCT

[slpotts]

Has anyone tried Royal Surrey's Birth & Beyond Complete? It's currently at £330 (mid-wife led, mostly online but with add ons such as baby first aid, hypnobirthing, etc.) but there's also a nearby NCT course (all in-person) at $250 for 17 hrs. I was wondering which is better value and if I should go with the mid-wife led or those from NCT practitioners. Thanks.

I’d 100% go for the NCT as it’s in person. The main thing I got out of classes were the friendships. I didn’t really ‘learn’ Saying that I did do Royal Surrey’s hypobirthing and the midwife who ran it was fabulous! That was in person but just before Covid kicked off.

My NCT as advertised as being in person and due to start late July but has been moved to online, same with a friend who’s starts in August. When would your Nct start?

The NCT specific to my due date starts early November and it is still currently advertised as in-person. Leaning towards the NCT now due to it being more face to face.
