I am thrilled to see options becoming available for long-distance training.  In-person instruction and consultation is almost always preferable, but when circumstances aren’t ideal we do the best we can with what we have.  And what we have these days is better than ever before! We have been running a “How to get started with NFP” series over at Living the Sacrament. For the past six weeks we have enjoyed being able to welcome a new provider and hear them share all about their method.  I’ve been thrilled to see the use of technology on the rise among modern methods of NFP! Even though I love to read a good hardcover or journal with my favorite pen, I also love the convenience that technology can bring to something like NFP education and charting.  Though my paper chart could have any number of horrible outcomes at the hands of my little darlings, my online chart is much harder for them to destroy! ## ***Billings Ovulation Method*** ### *Online Charting* [www.nfpcharting.com](http://www.nfpcharting.com), approved by WOOMB International. There are a few other charting apps and websites that claim to be compatible with the BOM, but so far only nfpcharting.com is officially approved.   This site also has a list of affiliated BOM Instructors. ### *Apps* [iPhone app – nfpcharting](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfp-charting/id300767738?mt=8) [![](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Billings-Ovualtion-method-App.jpg?width=160&height=239&name=Billings-Ovualtion-method-App.jpg "Billings Ovualtion method App")](http://catholicmom.com/2012/10/03/natural-family-planning-technology-update/billings-ovualtion-method-app/) ### *Online Instruction* available at [www.learnnfponline.com](http://www.learnnfponline.com) ### *Websites* BOMA-USA: [www.boma-usa.org](http://www.boma-usa.org) Woomb Canada: [www.woomb.ca](http://www.woomb.ca) *Many BOM Instructors are also willing to provide training online, via Skype or email.* ## ***Creighton Model*** ### *Online Charting* We have been assured that a charting app or online charting option is currently in development! ### *Online Instruction* A number of CrM Practioners are willing and able to do distance instruction through skype, phone, and e-mail communications.
