What are the courses you need and how long does it take? The website I went to doesn’t seem to have that info.

Here is a description of one program:

“The Family Sleep Institute’s Child Sleep Consultant Certification program’s goal is to instruct and teach students on all aspects of sleep-related training from newborns to school age children. We feel it’s important for graduating Child Sleep Consultants to help the most families who are struggling with sleep issues regardless of the age of their children and parenting styles. Since all families are different we feel it’s critical that well-trained Child Sleep Consultants are able to adjust advice and support to compliment the families parenting styles and wishes. The one philosophy that our Child Sleep Consultants believe in is the one that works for that individual family. Our certification program exceeds all others in: retention rate of graduates sustaining their businesses from completion of certification, graduates with higher educational degrees such as MD’s and PhD’s, and the average hours spent completing course requirements, which is is over 250+ hours – 3 times more than other programs.”
DEBORAH PEDRICK, FOUNDER OF FAMILYSLEEP.COM®, PIONEER CHILD SLEEP CONSULTANT, PRESIDENT AND INSTRUCTOR FOR THE FAMILY SLEEP INSTITUTE’S CHILD SLEEP CONSULTANT CERTIFICATION

Looks like you don’t need any degree for this made-up certification. You just need to pay money.

“Certified” indicates there is a certificate earned, not a degree. Look on your search engine.
