Awesome videos that are well-researched and very informative. But is the accompanying workbook that is my favorite part. It’s packed with checklists and important facts, perfect for referencing while you watch the videos and after your baby arrives. Worth every penny!

I’ve recommended it to all of my fellow expectant dads. It’s been the resource & community I hoped to find but didn’t expect to. Everything is well-researched and organized. I’ve relied heavily on the workbook in conjunction with the videos, particularly the checklists. My wife has starting using it, too.

My wife was rattled that I didn’t take the prenatal classes that were Via Zoom and I stumbled across your website and found it was significantly way more interesting to follow and digest the information. Had it playing on our TV and my wife loved the delivery of info.

100% recommend to any new family who is expecting. Easy and entertaining videos that can be watched after work… We signed up for three different online parenting classes. This was easily the most comprehensive and the only one we stuck to watching.

Father's Ed Stories
We absolutely love it.
John is very entertaining too. In comparison to the class at the hospital, we found that the material is not as similar as we thought. The hospital provided a scientific perspective of pregnancy and what women should expect,
Father’s Ed has covered everything in between.
The module discussing wills and insurance was fantastic and not nearly as painful as John said it would be, and the gear module was very informative. I really appreciate the messages about safe sleep too.

Father's Ed Stories
I am so happy I purchased the course.
Father’s Ed has exactly the type of information I was hoping to get. A lot of the admin prep I never would have thought of until our baby was born, and the module on healthcare and doctors visits is just so damn good. John’s delivery is spot on too.
The videos are informative and entertaining,
I’ve been using all the checklists in the Father’s Ed workbook and have been using it regularly to look up information. Now that the baby is here, it’s been very handy as a quick reference or for a deeper dive into a topic when necessary. Fathercraft to the rescue again!

Father's Ed Stories
These modules are great.
I even watched some videos twice, there’s so much useful information. It’s even better how real you guys keep it. I went from a nervous wreck to not being afraid of what was coming next, and I have to thank you guys for that.
I feel more and more confident.
The website along with the workbook has made things so smooth for me, my wife even jokingly asked if I had children before or if I read some baby books. I treated Fathercraft almost like a frat, lol.

Hi, we're John and Paul
We’re dads to 4 kids & co-founders of Fathercraft.
We created Father’s Ed for our former selves. We wanted to be involved dads, but we were scared and didn’t know where to start.
Now we have the skills and knowledge to co-parent in style. We built a course to help other parents prepare, so they can relax and enjoy the journey.
Father's Ed Stories
Kristin and I got a great deal of confidence
from your course, which really did help us feel more prepared as we freaked out that the baby decided to arrive so early. We had our go bags practically packed, we knew how to navigate inside the hospital, we exhausted our OB/GYN with questions thanks to you, and we already had most of the essential gear ready to go at home!
The thing that helped me most immediately
believe it or not, is when John talked about the six main reasons babies cry. Completely true and laying that out ahead of time reduces the “uh ohh” factor in trying to discern what a newborn’s cry might signify. I’m a proud and slightly more confident new Dad.

Great videos! Very entertaining and helpful. Each module is not too long and easy to follow with the workbook. Learning a lot as a first time dad.
I feel much more prepared after taking this course. My wife and I had no idea how to do basic baby skills, so this course saved us the awkwardness of learning on the fly.
Very useful. We have taken several classes and read several books and this still had useful information we did not know. Appreciated that paperwork was one of the topics.
Wanted to say that Father’s Ed is is awesome. Sadly I have a 3 month old daughter and am going thru a divorce, but because of this course I am allowed more time alone with her because I have the basic tools to soothe, change and care for her. Thank you so much!!
Has been very helpful giving me more confidence and a plan as an soon to be dad.
Great course for new/expecting dads. The course lines up well with other courses I’m taking and asks some pretty good questions for your spouse as well as doctors. I would highly recommend this course!
Great resource for first-time dad’s to get comfortable with the basics. It’s presented in an entertaining way and in short snippets to make it easy to bounce in and out at your own pace.
Amazing! Clear, consice, fun, learn at your own pace!
Finding out my wife was pregnant brought on all the feelings you would expect a lot of joy and a lot of fear. I’ve always known that I wanted kids, I’ve been picking up on things my friends and family who have had children before us for years. Immediately after finding out my wife was pregnant, I knew I needed a trusted all-in-one place for the real details of what to expect, and I am so grateful that I found Fathercraft. I love the structure of the content, the digestible segments. The videos are lighthearted while being educational and informative. I still have 3 months (hopefully) before our baby arrives, but I feel a lot more confident in my understanding of what to expect and how to be a supportive partner now and in the future. I know we can’t plan for everything, but knowing what to expect and anticipate has helped me through this process immensely. The price tag is a drop in the bucket to feel the comfort I do. Huge thanks to John and Paul for all the work that goes into these courses. I can’t express my appreciation enough.
This course has been great! The fact that I was going to become a Dad hit me pretty hard early on and I was really anxious about not being prepared. This course has been awesome in demystifying parenting and making me feel ready for everything to come. Thanks Paul and John!!!
About 80% through the course so far and really enjoying it! The humor backed by AAP facts (they convinced me to buy the book) is a solid foundation for fatherhood. The only downside is that my wife wants to watch with me, so I can’t binge without her. Definitely recommend to all fathers (or mothers/partners/etc) to be!
The course was extremely helpful. My wife has a lot of experience with babies, being the youngest, so she has helped raise her brother’s kids from infancy. I, on the other hand, have no experience and don’t even like to hold babies, so it’s fair to say I needed to learn a thing or two. Father’s Ed was packed full of great knowledge and built an excellent foundation for me on what’s to come. My well-read and researched wife also learned some new things, so it’s worth taking for anyone, regardless of beliefs or how you plan on parenting. I would recommend it to any father-to-be who has no experience with babies and is looking for an easy, effective, and low-key way to take in critical information on what’s to come.
Really enjoyed this program put together for dads. Found it really helpful, especially with a lot of the basics. Definitely recommend!
After consuming countless books, podcasts, blogs, and texts from friends, I can definitely say this course delivers. It summarizes the points an expecting father needs in order to feel confident and empowered. To understanding the relative risk level of daily tasks is really helpful at alleviating stress.
Working in IT, i am used to spending HOURS in front of web training and they can be terribly boring, but these FatherCaft classes are not that. They really do help you figure out the “how” of being a responsible father of a newborn vs the “what” of being a father… think the difference between how to hammer a nail and how to build a treehouse. Also, the folks running this program are responsive around questions or issues you have with anything at all, and have made my experience very positive!
The folks at Fathercraft have done an amazing job putting this information together! Its easy to digest, a bit entertaining, and doesnt take up too much of your time. Don’t think you need this course? Guess again! I have tried to learn everything there is to know from Google searches- and I’ve learned a lot. But somehow John keeps sneaking in things I’ve never heard of. The course often cites the AAP book so you know the information is legit. Not only that, John and Paul are experienced fathers themselves and have put in the time to tell you what baby products, methods, etc. work and don’t work. Let me tell ya, I’m not very excited about sucking boogers out of my son’s nose (just watch the videos) but John and Paul stand by it.
All in all, I feel much more confident in my ability to not mess this up. Sincere thanks to John and Paul from Michigan!
Father’s Ed is a great beginning step for dads-to-be. The course is broken down into easily digestible modules and the whole course is only 5 hours so you can’t say you don’t have the time (and if you really think you don’t, then you definitely won’t after baby time so you might as well suck it up and do it now). The course is full of the awful sort of dad jokes that show the creators have been parents for a while. It won’t do the work for you but it’ll give you the groundwork to know most of the big ticket things you need to go do or learn and it’ll give you a clue as to what to talk to your partner about. Overall it’s easy to tell that Paul, John, and the rest of the team care about this information and want to set you on you’re way to being a great dad. Thanks for the course!
FATHERCRAFT is truly an invaluable learning experience (and support resource) to expecting fathers. The way lessons are presented in a “take it at your pace” format with attention to each learning style makes this a true win. My favorite part of the course is the additional links presented in the workbook or video descriptions (not always in both!) that let me easily research the specific information mentioned in each segment if I so choose. Incredibly encouraging; science backed; and the material is clearly made by fathers with a love for their families. I feel more confident in my ability to be a first time father since starting these courses.
Thank you John!
Excellent course with an easy to understand and fun presentation. All the important information given and also hints and tips. And Dad jokes! My husband and I are watching through this in preparation for our adoption and we’re both enjoying it. The confidence given is a lifesaver. We also love the fact that it’s broken down into bite-sized videos in the modules. 6-7 mins or 10 mins max. So doable with our busy schedule. Thank you!!
First time dad here. I loved the course because it presented the information in an easy to understand way and in real world examples. The short videos and workbook made it perfect to be able to work on it as you had time in 10-15 minute chunks. I had multiple nurses at the hospital and family say how shocked they were I looked so comfortable with our newborn and I owe it to Father’s Ed!
I’m a first time expectant father and couldn’t be happier with the Father’s Ed course.
The course content and delivery are really great. When I found out that we were expecting a child, I felt a strange combination of extreme joy and uncertainty. The joy was for obvious reasons; the uncertainty was due to the whole universe of baby-related stuff about which I knew next to nothing. To put it mildly, I don’t like unknown unknowns. Father’s Ed did a great job of introducing me to what’s ahead in a manner that didn’t stress me out, even when discussing inherently stressful topics like what to do in health-related emergencies. The content of the Father’s Ed videos was excellent and covered nearly everything I needed to know right now to help me to enjoy the excitement of bringing a person into this world without feeling the need to excessively dwell on all of the things that I don’t know yet. And, as great as the content is, the thoughtful and light-hearted delivery is where the course really shines.
Also, the written course materials are awesome and saved me a ton of time that I would’ve otherwise spent making lists and checklists. That alone was worth the price of the course for me.
Good guide
Father’s Ed was a huge help for me ramping up to the birth of my son-
They presented the essentials for parenting in a way that was effective and entertaining.
Other resources like parenting books were daunting because they were lengthy books that were an information overload.
These guys did a fantastic job walking me thru the need to knows and providing resources for additional research.
We delivered our son last week and I feel confident and empowered to be a great dad in large part due to Father’s Ed
Keep up the good work guys!
This class redefines edutainment – entertaining throughout and definitely loaded with high quality education! I recommend starting here for all dads, especially first time-dads (like me)! I went through the class quickly to get a good idea of what’s covered and what I need to know and am going through it again now while following the workbook. Do yourself a favor and sign-up!
Worth every penny. As a person that’s never even been around a newborn, I had no idea what to do. I feel much more confident and alot less nervous due to the tutorials and product reviews. We have literally ordered every product they recommended. Thanks again!
Fathercraft has been an awesome resource for my wife and I through her first pregnancy. They do a good job of keeping the videos entertaining and, at times, hilarious!
As a first time dad, this was a phenomenal resource. The videos were entertaining, presented in easily digestible segments, and provided a wealth of practical information. The course really helped me feel like I had a solid foundation going in to this whole new adventure!
Informative and entertaining, taking this course has given me confidence that I will be able to face the challenges of becoming a father! Thanks guys!
I took the Father’s Ed course after doing some research on the best ways to prepare for fatherhood, and I can say now that the course has been a huge help as my wife and I prepared for and welcomed our son into this world. The videos are clear in terms of the educational material they provide, and concise enough to get a ton of relevant information across without dragging on. On top of that, they are funny and relatable. The workbook that comes with the course is a great resource for checklists, and the bulletized format makes it easy to digest and review. I would strongly recommend this course to any father or father-to-be.
As first time parents, this is exactly the kind of practical parenting advice my wife and I were looking for. Yes this is called “Father”Craft, but my wife has enjoyed it just as much as me. Irreverent with dad jokes aplenty, this is also genuinely informative and helpful. Covers all the necessary topics and helped us feel so much more prepared. Well worth the money!
This course has a distinct focus for fathers. — These guys are the big-brothers I don’t have. I’m a soon-to-be dad, and although a lot of information on the internet, most of it is geared towards mothers. Yet as mentioned above, Fathercraft has a father-centric program. This course is worth about 100 times what is being charged. More importantly, imagine money is no object: the information is constantly a lot of “WOW I didn’t realize that”. If you are on the fence about buying this, just click buy and then hit play. The information is really that good.
Awesome videos that are well-researched and very informative. But is the accompanying workbook that is my favorite part. It’s packed with checklists and important facts, perfect for referencing while you watch the videos and after your baby arrives. Worth every penny!
A great deal of help and gave me confidence helping and supporting my wife through labor and afterwards.
Wonderful! Very educational and entertaining!
Father’s Ed is awesome, and I’ve recommended it to all of my fellow expectant dads. It’s been the resource & community I hoped to find but didn’t expect to. Everything is well-researched and organized. I’ve relied heavily on the workbook in conjunction with the videos, particularly the checklists. My wife has starting using it, too, and is a huge fan.
Fathers Ed was amazing! An easily digestible introduction to SO many topics. As someone who didn’t really know where to start, these classes provided me with a ton of great info. It was also really entertaining. At first my wife rolled her eyes at all the dad jokes, but by the end she was watching each video with me.
My wife was rattled that I didn’t take the prenatal classes that were Via Zoom and I stumbled across your website and found it was significantly way more interesting to follow and digest the information. Had it playing on our TV and my wife loved the delivery of info.
100% recommend to any new family who is expecting. Easy and entertaining videos that can be watched after work. Covered a bunch of topics that other classes miss (like life insurance, car seat instillation, sleep schedules). Lots of prompts for conversations between partners to help mitigate future concerns and expectations. We signed up for three different online parenting/baby classes. This was easily the most comprehensive and the only one we stuck to watching.
This course was the perfect content presentation for a first time parent. It is insightful, whitty, not overly dense, and based on reputable resources. Before purchasing the course, I was nervous and unsure of how I could become more confident in my fatherly skills. If you are considering purchasing this course to figure out how be the best father possible, don’t hesitant and join the club. You won’t be disappointed!
FatherCraft helped me to get my priorities straight. As a new father I had a million ideas and concerns circulating my head constantly and with the help of a guided approach to becoming a new dad I felt as though I could handle the coming responsibility comfortably. I appreciate the work and time they have put into the program because I feel it helped equip me to be a new father. Never was I looking for perfection, just progression and thats what I felt after having invested my time into the wealth of wisdom found in this program. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for guidance into this crazy new world of being a parent !
If you are unsure if this course is for you, this is your sign to pull the trigger. My wife and I blew through this course because the content was easily engaging and kept us laughing throughout (who doesn’t love a good dad joke?!) We felt that it was a great step in our preparation as first time parents and loved that they even covered the gear needed and the things that aren’t necessary. The amount of items and information online now can be overwhelming but we really felt Father’s Ed weeded out the excess and kept things in perspective. We can’t recommend it enough! Sit back, grab your workbook, and get ready to laugh at Paul and John’s cheesy jokes!
Great course that gave me all the pertinent information I was looking for. I completed the course feeling a lot more confident about what it takes to be a dad than I did prior to. The workbook you receive is also really helpful.
I was initially nervous about spending money for a course when I already had read several books and attended childbirth classes. I am so glad I did! Having the videos with the workbook and checklists side by side really made me feel prepared, and prompted me (and my wife) to add some extra things to our todo list. As someone who has been making Dad jokes long before fatherhood, I appreciated John’s sense of humor. Great job, all! I will definitely recommend this to other Dads-to-be.
My wife and I watched the entire video course together and on top of providing a wealth of helpful information, it led to us having some great conversations about parenting. The companion workbook is also a great resource that I fully expect to reference in the months to come. I’ve gone from feeling apprehensive for fatherhood to excited and prepared!
I really appreciate the insight these folks have given all of us new fathers. It is refreshing to have a course directed at fathers created by fathers. Between the course and the reviews, I have felt confident in preparing for our new edition and taken a hands on approach in doing so. Thank you Fathercraft for all your help!
I just finished the course and I must admit, I am excited and feel a lot more prepared to become a father. The video course was detailed and humorous, with articles and sources for more in-depth research.Thanks Paul and John for a great resource!
Enjoyed the course, excellent insight for first time fatherhood. Down to earth, easy to digest advice that matters! Would definitely recommend to others, far better than sifting through all the parenthood books
I chose to use father’s Ed because most of my friends don’t have kids to give me advice, my parents are pretty crazy, I want to have a bigger role in my baby’s life than my father had in mine, I’m isolating due to covid, and I’m not surrounded by children in my day to day life.
I felt father’s ed helped give me advice and information that will be useful for the first year of my child’s life and I feel less clueless now as a father in 2022.
Father’s Ed brings both levity and focus to the practice of fatherhood, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Paul and company for creating easy-to-digest, highly informative content that helps make this important process much easier. Our world needs men who want to be active, involved fathers and partners, and the team at Fathercraft is really picking up the slack for the rest of us.
Getting the news that I will be a father was the most exciting and terrifying thing that could have happened to me. Fathers Ed was incredible, it teaches practical skills that give you confidence going into fatherhood, and advice about how you can support your partner through pregnancy and birth. The sleep module has been great as well. My kid is now 5 weeks old and the tips learned have helped her sleep well. I would definitely recommend.
As a soon-to-be father, this course was amazing. The information is very well presented and the added humor is a nice touch. I started watching them myself, but shortly after my wife became interested and we watch the videos together. Overall, I would recommend to any new fathers.
As an ecstatic father-to-be trying to get my hands on anything to help prepare me for the big day, I’m so grateful to have found Fathercraft. The materials and content were high quality and the perfect father-focused compliment to the various classes I was taking with my wife. I’d recommend Fathercraft to any new dad looking to be ready right out of the gate!
The Fathercraft course was great! I found the course and videos very helpful and easy to follow/watch in the small chunks. You both definitely helped prepare me for my journey into Fatherhood and I can’t thank you both enough.
You can tell that there was a lot of serious thought that went into crafting these videos. Big thanks to the team for working on this!
I am delighted to find Fathercraft. There are many sources of fatherhood information out there, but I argue that this one is the most helpful of all. I recommended to my friends, who are young fathers with infants. I am so happy that Father’s roles and responsibilities are so well described in Fathercraft lectures.
As a first time dad I wasn’t sure what to expect and nervous about breaking my soon to come little human. I was also jealous of all the content and advise geared towards expectant mothers (rightly so!) so I was super excited to have come across this course, made by dads for dads!
Definitely worth the money and time. The content is structured and organized in an easy to digest manner. The videos are short and sweet but packed with valuable information.
Looking back I find the course was specifically great at easing my mind about what to expect and what is considered normal when the little human arrives.
Added bonus was that the videos were as hilarious as they were educational and made my wife jealous when she heard me laugh out loud! 🙂
Definitely recommend it for any first time dads out there overwhelmed with content and emotions!
New dads need this course. Practical, funny and distilled down to the essential elements – this course will arm you with the stuff you think you’ll need and more things you haven’t even thought of (e.g. life insurance and wills). I took this a few months back to prepare and am going through the video library again with my workbook on the run up to my baby’s arrival. Be the rock solid partner and dad extraordinaire your wife needs and arm yourself with Fathercraft. I’m ready. Are you?
My wife and I are expecting our first child in December. I really don’t have any parenting or newborn skills but obviously want to be a great Dad for my daughter. This course really does an awesome job building a solid foundation. Can’t thank you guys enough!
The course is great. You can tell that the Fathercraft team has done a lot of research and put together a great resource. As a first time dad I’m always wondering if this is normal… this class has helped answer some of those questions. It doesn’t hurt that even my wife enjoyed watching the content. You can’t go wrong with this buying this course and maybe some merch. These guys are the Chick-Fil-A of Father related material.
As a first-time father, I thought this was a great introduction to the ins and outs of taking care of a baby. I highly recommend.
I thoroughly enjoyed going through these videos as I prepped for fatherhood! I loved the sense of humor and terribly awesome dad jokes. All while still providing important information along the way. It calmed my nerves and really made me feel prepared for what was to come.
Getting prepared to be a first time dad was a daunting task. I didn’t even know where to begin. I’m not much of a reader but I read a book. That was ok… but not necessarily my style or how I learn best. I learn by seeing and doing. The visual/audio aspects of these videos really helped me absorb the information better. On top of that, the videos were broken up really nicely into common themes and short, specific videos. If I needed to revisit something, I could easily go back and find it. After taking the course
I emailed them to provide feedback on the course and we have been in back and forth communication. Something I was not expecting when I first reached out! I can tell that they care a ton about this stuff and want to work to make it help as many dads to be as possible! Companies usually say “if you have questions about anything, please reach out” and that really turned out to be true with Fathercraft.
I don’t normally give feedback or reviews… but when I feel like a product has been a “game-changer” or extremely helpful (like this course was for me) I like to do so! I suggest taking a look at their free videos online to get a feel for if these dads are a good fit for you. If so, the course felt like it was worth the money to me! My first experience with them was reviews of baby monitors which was extremely helpful!
The Fathercraft course was a great learning experience (as a first time father). There is lots of good info (especially the sleep module) including knowledge that most baby info sources leave out (or haven’t caught up to the research on). It was money well-spent and an easy watch.
If only it came with a personalized video greeting from The Beard Master…
Father’s Ed is an invaluable resource that ALL new dads should utilize! John is entertaining and the information he delivers is science-based and incredibly important. I appreciate that the course is separated into short, manageable modules that can be watched and absorbed at my own pace. I feel so much more confident and prepared now than I did before working through this course. Thank you Paul and John for Father’s Ed!
