NCT or some alternative?

Just wondering whether I should book the NCT antenatal course, or if there is a good private alternative?

I’m open to zoom/online- doesn’t need to be a live session, a ‘webinar’ that we just watch together will be fine as I’m not too bothered about the social element.

I did the NCT a few years ago, and I'm so glad I did because I met 2 great friends who we see all the time and our children are best friends. So thankful I did it for this very reason, there wasn't a lot I learnt that I didn't already know/ read about but I think it helped my other half prepare for what was to come xxx

Where are you based Suprima?
I'm in London and have had very lukewarm reviews of NCT from some friends who did it. The main thing they got out of it was meeting other people who were having babies at the same time.
DH and I are going for this instead:

Whoops, posted too soon sorry!
My midwife has had good reviews back about this course. And we liked the fact it was taught by experts in each field rather than all content being taught by one trainer.

You can do it online if you prefer. And we liked that it includes baby first aid and hypnobirthing.
