Where do I get training for Certification as a Sexuality Educator?
There are two basic approaches you can take to become certified as a sexuality educator. First, you can earn an undergraduate or graduate degree in a related field and go on to obtain further education in human sexuality and work experience in sexuality education. For example, an individual who earns a bachelors degree in psychology goes on to work as a sexuality educator in a community-based organization for 4 years. As part of this work, the person receives further professional training in sexuality education from the place of employment, enrolls in several graduate human sexuality-related courses at a local college, joins AASECT and attends a Summer Institute, annual conferences (including a SAR), and locally approved workshops to obtain continuing education, and works with an AASECT certified educator in his or her area to meet the consultation requirement. In this piecemeal approach, the individual is able to acquire the education and experience necessary to meet the certification
