Certified Sleep Sense Consultant Program

Is it Right for You? Are there Alternatives?

Certified Sleep Sense is one of the oldest programs on the internet. Is it worth it? What’s it all about? Here’s what you need to know.

We Reviewed the Program

There are a number of certification programs to become a certified sleep consultant.

One of the oldest is the Sleep Sense Consultant Program, a three-day program based in Florida and taught by its creator Dana Obleman, a mother of three and a pediatric sleep coach.

Because it’s one that my clients asked about before choosing my acclaimed IPSP Sleep Consultant Certification program, I decided to check Sleep Sense out.

The Program: Instructors and Classes

I’d love to get behind a time-saving program. But this one is only three days. And, just being honest here: that is nowhere near long enough to cover the material you need to know to become a great, and legally protected, certified sleep consultant.

A second mark against the program is that there is only one instructor. So you aren’t receiving professional input from a variety of medical and legal professionals.

Cost of Certified Sleep Sense

While quality is our first and most important consideration, and we know yours is too, we knew you’d want to know how much this program costs.

The program’s tuition is a little under $10,000 plus travel fees and a $1,000 annual certification renewal fee….WOWSER!

There’s a Better Way. IPSP is Here to Help

Hi! I’m Violet Giannone, and back when I was getting my education to become a Certified Sleep Consultant, I had to really do my homework to find a great and affordable school.

I was hard-pressed to find both in one program. That’s why I created my own program, the Institute of Pediatric Sleep.

I chose the best, highest-credentialed educators, doctors, nurses and even attorneys to teach my students. Today’s amazing group of future sleep consultants deserves it!

Here’s how you can get the best, high-rated, complete education at a budget that’s student-friendly.
