Your assignments are completed at your leisure, and submitted to your tutor for grading via the online student center. As part of your practical sleep-consultant training, you'll complete different types of assignments that are designed to test your knowledge and challenge your skills.
- Quizzes are used to evaluate your core knowledge on a number of topics.
- Long-answer or “discussion” questions challenge you to think through various scenarios and provide detailed answers where you can take the time to explain your reasoning.
- Case studies and other practical assignments allow you to experience real-world sleep-consultant scenarios. As part of this course, you'll be presented with a number of case studies and will be asked to create full sleep plans to address unique circumstances.
Pro tip: Students who treat their case studies and practical assignments like they're dealing with an actual paying client are those who are the most successful upon graduation. Don't skimp on your practical assignments!

LEARN MORECourse Curriculum
The sleep consultant course is divided into four units. You'll start by learning the basics of sleep consulting, and then build on that knowledge as you work your way through the course. Once you've completed the course, you'll be fully qualified to work as a professional sleep consultant!
Unit A: Sleep Consulting
Practices
In this first unit, you'll explore the basics of sleep consulting. You'll learn the science of sleep, how children sleep, and how you can help caregivers promote healthy sleep habits. You'll learn every method of sleep consulting—from “cry it out” to “no cry” methods and everything in between—including the advantages and disadvantages of each. You'll learn to use various tools of the trade to help create an optimal sleep space and promote healthy sleep.
Unit B: Sleep Consulting Application
Now that you have a good foundation of knowledge as a sleep consultant, you'll start learning how to apply those practices to provide the best service possible to clients. You'll learn how to create, implement and adapt individualized sleep plans unique to each client, including how to deal with a variety of special situations that might impact your plan—from working in a home with multiple children, to working with children who have disabilities or other diagnosed medical issues.
Unit C: Professional Sleep Consulting & Coaching
Once you understand the fundamentals of sleep consulting and how to build a sleep plan unique to your clients' needs, you'll start to put these skills to use while learning to be an effective consultant and coach. You'll learn how to best work with different types of clients, and how to translate your knowledge as a sleep expert to caregivers who will be implementing your sleep plan on an ongoing basis. You'll go over a number of case studies of unique situations you're likely to encounter as a sleep consultant, to get a first-hand look at how you'll work professionally once you graduate.
Unit D: (Optional) Business Training Unit
If you plan on launching your own sleep consultant business, don't skip this essential final unit! You'll work through the specific elements of getting your business on its feet, including everything from choosing a business name to building your website to setting your prices and marketing your services. This unit can really catapult your career!
