Transgender Training | Transgender Care Certification

Therapists and Professionals may take the 56-hour training program over two weekends for $2,900. Four hours of follow-up case consultation will be required and is included in the cost of the program.

This program is intended to add to your existing practice - therapist, nurse, educator, physician, coach, minister, or other healthcare professional. You do need to be a licensed therapist to become a Board Certified Transgender Care Therapist. If not, you will be certified as a Transgender Care Professional and practice within the ethical and legal parameters of your profession.

Students must attend all classes, participate in 4 hours of case consultation, and submit a satisfactory sample letter of referral for hormone therapy or surgery.

If a student is unable to attend all classes, the video recording may be watched and a summary submitted for credit. This program is not intended to be a Home Study, so this option is limited.
