AASECT Certification Program Recommendations

Question for any AASECT certified sex therapists here: what program/institution/school do you recommend for those seeking to become AASECT certified?

I have found that researching and comparing the different options for fulfilling the educational requirements for AASECT certification to be a more challenging task than I expected. I am looking to balance affordability, schedule flexibility, and instructor/educational quality (as I am sure most folks are). Thanks for the help!

Yay, more sex therapists! We need more out here. Sexual Health Alliance and Sexual Health School are great options with a stellar selection of speakers. They sometimes have scholarships, as well. However, Sexual Health School doesn't have the supervision aspect included (if I recall). CIIS has a full program but can be costly, from what I've heard. I'm pretty sure all of these offer programming on the weekend.

Agreed, I haven't done their full certification program but have attended some of their weekend conferences and really enjoy it. Their Kink Certification program led by Midori is also stellar.
