Meet AASECT Educational Requirements for Certification

Take a moment to read about certain AASECT requirements so you'll understand our programs:

For both sex therapists and sexuality counselors, you must take 150 hours of education, which includes Core Knowledge Areas and Sex Therapy or Sexuality Counselor Training:
Core Knowledge Areas: 90 hours in human sexuality
Sex Therapy Area: 60 hours OR
Sexuality Counselor Area: 60 hours

There are additional requirements for AASECT certification. Please refer to the video below where Dr. Stephanie Buehler, Director of The Buehler Institute and LearnSexTherapy.com, breaks it down for you or visit www.AASECT.org.

Sexual problems are very common. Sex therapy and sexuality counseling are growing fields and there is a great need for skilled therapists and wellness professionals. Plus, sexology is a exciting, evolving field of study!

The Blended Learning Program (All Inclusive)

If you are looking for a program that fulfills all of the educational requirements for AASECT certification, this is the CE program you want. It combines 105 hours of self-paced online continuing education with two live weekends (now on Zoom for 2021 and beyond). The Blended Learning Program is a complete program for licensed mental health professionals and wellness providers seeking AASECT sex therapy or sexuality counselor certification.

The Core Knowledge Program

AASECT divides the educational requirements into two parts, with one part being 90 hours in the Core Knowledge Areas, 75 of which can be completed online. The Core Knowledge Program provides a self-paced 75 CE program of courses that can be completed in the comfort of your home or office. This option is good for anyone who wants to make a smaller commitment, or who already has a great number of hours in Sex Therapy or Sexuality Counselor Training.

The Blended Learning Extension Program

This continuing education program includes two live weekends (on Zoom through 2021) plus additional self-paced online learning to round out AASECT requirements. It is primarily for someone who opted to take the Core Knowledge Program first (see above) or who has a great deal of hours in the Core Knowledge Areas and wants to continue fulfilling educational requirements. You can also think of the Core Knowledge Program as Part One and the Blended Extension Program as Part Two of the complete 150-hour Blended Learning Program.

I am also a Fellow for the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health and I have worked as a sex therapist in a variety of healthcare settings including Hoag Hospital.

My work as a master teacher for L.A.Unified School District and a writer for an educational publishing company are the background for my passion for educating others whether through coursework or supervision.

The Blended Learning Program was so convenient. I travel a lot and I could do a lot of the program just while waiting at the airport or flying. And I loved the live weekends in Newport Beach! Julie C.

I can't believe how much I learned. I thought I knew a lot about sex, but this program really made me think about so much about human sexuality I never even considered. Michael L.

Thank you for creating this program. Instead of going around from conference to conference I was able to fulfill all of my AASECT requirements in one program. Wendy G.
