than when you pass you will than go on to university where you will spend three years of training until you a qualified.

It depends on what kind of midwife you want to be. In the U.S., all 50 states license certified nurse-midwives. These midwives have master's degrees in nursing. A bachelor's in nursing usually takes 4 years, and the master's is usually another 2 years.

Some states also license certified professional midwives, sometimes called direct-entry or lay midwives. Check your states licensing regulations if you prefer non-nurse midwifery. Some of these midwives go to schools, and the program length varies, and others apprentice with an experienced midwife, which is probably the longest route to becoming a midwife.

Answer 2

To become a midwife you must undergo a 32 month vocational training program, or an 18 month nurseconversion course (on top of the 32 month nurse training course). Thus midwives potentially could have had up to 5 years of total training.

=====================================

In the UK, you can do a 3 year course to become a midwife (RM). It used to be that you had to be a registered nurse (RGN) first and then do an 18 month course to become a midwife. You no longer have to do this, although a Registered Nurse (Adult) can still do a conversion course to be dual registered as a Midwife.
