Training is paramount. By implementing standards, s*xology education institutions can demonstrate their commitment to diversity, equity, quality and continuous improvement, as well as their willingness to be held accountable.

The world of s*xology is expanding exponentially and we believe these standards will not only protect our work, but also and more importantly protect the community at large.
