"Our mission is
to provide prospective lactation consutants and other health professionals with programs related to lactation and breastfeeding information that is practical, current, and evidence-based."

As of 2008, LEC is changing the name of the Lactation Consultant Preparation Program to the Certified Lactation Specialist Course. The course has the same content, but LEC has added an end-of-course certification exam. This is a stepping stone to becoming an IBCLC. Be aware that all references on this website to the LC Prep Program actually refer to the new Certified Lactation Specialist Course (CLSC).

The Certified Lactation Specialist Course has been approved by the Accreditation and Approval Review Committee (AARC) on education in human lactation and breastfeeding.
