IAPST Accreditation

The International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST) offers accreditation to schools, universities, and training institutions that provide specialized programs in psychosexual therapy. By earning IAPST accreditation, institutions demonstrate that their educational programs meet the rigorous standards set by the leading professional body in psychosexual therapy.

Graduates of IAPST-accredited programs are eligible to become Certified Psychosexual Therapists, ensuring that they have received comprehensive and high-quality training that aligns with the ethical, clinical, and academic standards of the field. This accreditation allows graduates to join a global network of certified professionals who are committed to excellence in psychosexual therapy.
