Sexplained has recently received its National Centre Number and will soon be offering accredited training units, validated by The Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA). The AQA Unit Award Scheme provides the opportunity to give students formal recognition of their success in short units of work. The Scheme promotes effective teaching and learning by ensuring that those writing and delivering units give careful consideration to learning outcomes, evidence and assessment and by setting down clear targets for students.
Why is Sexplained Training necessary?
This is a rapidly changing field of medicine. More and varied people are expected to divulge information about contraception, sexual and reproductive health during the course of their work in a wide variety of settings. Many people feel unprepared to give this information to their charges and unless up to date, qualified information is given, passing on outdated information can cause confusion and sometimes harm.
Sexplained Training is for people involved with and influencing others in the area of contraception, sexual and reproductive health matters, in a wide variety of settings. Put more succinctly, if you are interested in this subject, then it is suitable for you.
Who
are our trainers?
Our trainers are highly qualified British trained Nurse
Specialists who work independently of doctors in
clinical settings or who are university and business
lecturers, each having a minimum of 15 yrs field
experience with hard to reach populations.

Sexplained Training is being re-designed and we will soon be offering accredited units of differening length.
As units are accredited, they will be added to this section of the page.
At present, we are in the process of developing two units for professionals:
Unit One - Point of Care Testing - counselling a patient and using the INSTI one minute test for HIV (finger prick test) with related competency framework to be completed after training
Unit Two - Hormonal Contraception for Practitioners - including anatomy, physiology and how to make a safe contraceptive history assessment, in line latest medical eligibility criteria, practice scenarios with related competency framework to be completed after training
- We will be offering units accredited by the British 'AQA' exam board under their Unit Award Scheme
- A Sexplained® Modular Certificate of Attendance will be given on completion of each unit
- Both of these can be used as evidence towards APL (accreditation of prior learning) if applying for academic courses
- We also keep a register of attendees, against which employers can check content and dates of training should they wish to do so.
