This online course provides unlimited 24/7 access to the learning programme and dedicated student support group. It is designed to build on your existing understanding of oral anatomy and tongue function while exploring the wider functional implications of tethered oral tissues. Drawing on current evidence and emerging international research, the course examines conservative management approaches, body therapies, sensorimotor oral activities, and surgical release options within the wider context of infant feeding, function, and clinical reasoning.

Designed for professionals supporting infants and families, this course is suitable for voluntary breastfeeding peer supporters, midwives, doulas, health visitors, infant feeding specialists, counsellors, IBCLCs and other healthcare professionals. It also serves as valuable theory-based refresher training for experienced tongue-tie practitioners wishing to revisit and update their underpinning knowledge. Whatever your professional background, the course aims to strengthen your clinical reasoning and confidence in supporting families throughout their individual feeding journeys.

There is no fixed timeframe for completion, allowing you to study at your own pace. As with all higher-level professional learning, independent reading and engagement with the wider evidence base are encouraged to deepen and extend your understanding beyond the core course content.

The programme has been developed to support blended learning by combining evidence-informed theory with reflective practice. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to critically evaluate the evidence, reflect on your own experiences, and engage in professional discussion within the dedicated student support group, helping to consolidate learning through shared knowledge and peer collaboration.
