who knows about doula certification?

I know the 'biggest' certification program is probably DONA International - what are some other reputable doula certification programs? How important do you think it is to have certification from a well-known program? (If I wanted to be a 'private-practice' doula)

    I chose to do the DONA route because I liked having the strength of the organization behind me.  I know there are other programs but they aren't as well known.

    I ditto DONA, and I'll be getting certified through them once I'm done my degree.

    I'm taking certification classes through DONA in two weeks (and I can't wait!).  I think it's pretty important to have the certification.  All other things equal, I think any to-be-moms would choose someone certified over someone not certified.

    CAPPA is just as reputable as DONA.  i'm a dona doula, but a cappa educator.  both offer certs in multiple fields.
