IFFD courses are designed to suit the different stages of child development. All courses are structured on the participant-based case study method and use cases involving real situations. Cases are first analyzed by small teams formed by few couples, and then discussed in larger groups at general sessions moderated by experts in Family Development.
The current courses and relevant ages of children discussed therein are as follows:
First Steps: A program for parents with children from birth to 3 years old, or for young couples planning to become parents.
