I have the same question. I took online basic FHM course (AWHONN). Does it mean that I am certified?

No, certification is a separate credential, with a test you must take to prove competency. This program you are discussing is education to get you prepared to work in any L and D or antepartum unit, reading FHM strips.

For certification you need to visit:

There, you find the online catalog to guide you in gaining certification in FHM, which is considered a "sub-specialty" certification.
