The baccalaureate-level midwifery education curriculum lasts for three to four years on average. In Canada, there are now six programs for aspiring midwives. Education programs are “direct entry,” which implies that entry does not require a nursing degree or any other certificate. Exams that have been approved by the corresponding provincial regulatory agencies are given by each program.
