Once you have purchased a subscription, you can claim up to 30 CME at no additional cost. Specifically, if you are a physician, you can earn up to 30 ACCME credits without needing to take an exam.  Having watched the relevant video lectures and read the relevant papers, is enough. These credits are also recognized by the relative European body, which is the UEMS-EACCME®. If you are a psychologist, you can earn up to 30 APA credits, but first, you are required to pass an online MCQ exam based on the respective video lectures and papers. If you are not a subscriber, you have the possibility to purchase on-demand access to the relevant material and the possibility to claim credits. You are strongly advised to carefully read the Learner Notification and always consider the expiry date of each bundle. After the expiration date, you will not be able to claim credits.

You can claim up to 18 AASECT credits, which meet the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) and are approved for CE credits. Specifically, two courses are available, each of which comes with 9 AASECT credits. Completing the courses requires successfully passing the post-test with a grade of 80% or higher. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of your certification. If you have an annual subscription plan, you can claim your AASECT credits at no additional cost. AASECT credits are not available with the monthly subscription plan. If you’re not a subscriber, you can purchase the courses for 200€ each and claim your AASECT credits after completing the activity.

Within the field of Clinical Sexology, it is a commonplace that all health care providers, whether experienced or just starting out, will benefit from professional supervision. Sexology is a very broad field, and although we may feel confident in some domains, it is quite likely that we may feel less experienced in other domains. New clinical issues arise every day in our practice, and we have all been in that place where we felt overwhelmed and unprepared to manage our ‘difficult’ patients effectively. With Clinical Supervision, you will be looking forward to those ‘difficult’ cases with confidence!

Our Hop-ON Hop-OFF supervision is designed to provide you with the flexibility to join one or more small group online sessions, allowing you to select themes and supervisors based on your unique preferences. For those seeking one-on-one supervision, please feel free to reach out to us. Additionally, if you represent an institution interested in organizing supervision for your team, we would love to hear from you!

Clinical cases are central to supervision. However, supervisors can support the process when the supervisees do not have their own cases.

Yes, we offer the International Diploma in Clinical Sexology to those who successfully complete the training requirements. For further information, please visit https://sexologysupervisors.org/international-diploma-in-clinical-sexology/

A subscription to the IOSS platform grants you access to all sexology courses, allowing you to learn at your own pace whenever you choose. It provides flexible, on-demand learning without providing certification.

In contrast, registration for the Diploma on Clinical Sexology involves online training that includes passing an exam and completing online supervision. This pathway is designed for individuals seeking certification in sexology through structured training and assessment within one year.
