Certification Alignment Pathway (CAP)

Already certified with another professional body? The Certification Alignment Pathway (CAP) offers you a direct route to become certified through the International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST).

This pathway is designed to ensure that practitioners from diverse backgrounds are aligned with IAPST’s rigorous standards, ethical framework, and professional conduct. By completing the CAP, you not only strengthen your foundation in psychosexual therapy, but also gain access to the benefits of IAPST certification—global recognition, professional networking, and continued opportunities for growth.

What the CAP Includes

The CAP certificate, offered through the School of Sex Therapy, consists of five specialized courses. Each course provides 5 Continuing Education (CE) credits and combines 3 hours of live instruction with 2 hours of supplemental study material.

You’ll explore critical topics that bridge theory and practice, ensuring you are fully equipped to meet IAPST standards:

Ethical Theory for Psychosexual Therapy
Applied Clinical Ethics in Sex Therapy Practice
Contraception and STI Prevention in Clinical Sex Therapy
The Role of the Pelvic Floor in Sexual Health
Pharmacology and Psychosexual Therapy

Complete all coursework and receive your CAP certificate.
Submit your certification application to IAPST along with proof of prior certification and your CAP certificate.
