The Justisse Method Instructor program is a 15-month distance learning program that includes a 6 month supervised internship. The program starts each September. The application deadline is August 10th.

Some program modules are open to everyone. If you complete the Sexual and Reproductive Health modules as standalone courses and later join the full program, your previously completed modules will count toward your certification. This would reduce your workload per month while still being able to complete all the modules required for your FAE certification. While your certification will take longer to complete this way, it may be a better fit for some. For more information about the standalone courses please reach out to admissions@justisse.ca.

You can expect to devote 10-15 hours of focused time per week to your studies. The Justisse Method Instructor student is given support and follow-up from multiple Justisse College faculty and adjunct faculty and will be required to attend a number of synchronous group sessions and chart review workshops hosted on Zoom throughout their training. The student will engage with the coursework online and accomplish a number of assignments and practices per module that will be graded by faculty. In the Internship portion of the training, you will also be working with clients under supervision. It is possible to add extension months to the program (at an extra cost) if needed. It is recommended that you only commit to one program at a time.

There are regular group learning opportunities through live, synchronous continuing education events hosted on Zoom. Additionally, all Justisse Method Instructor students are invited to a private platform for clinical and community discussions.

Learning takes place using the following modalities:

1) Interacting one-on-one and in group lessons delivered by faculty via Zoom.

2) Reading texts and listening to audio and video recordings—books, articles, and on-line resources.

3) Written assignments, quizzes, exams, and presentations assessed by faculty.

Justisse College is proud to have earned accreditation from the Association for Fertility Awareness Professionals (AFAP) for our two-year HRHP program (now retired).

We are currently in the process of securing accreditation for our Justisse FAE program and will update this section as soon as it is confirmed. This process is well underway.

AFAP is the international accrediting body for secular fertility awareness educator (FAE) training programs, and we are fully committed to meeting all requirements for accreditation.

• A minimum of a two-year undergraduate degree, diploma, OR certification in any field. Other educational and work experiences that demonstrate the ability to engage with structured study will be considered as an alternative to a degree. You will be asked to upload any license or certificate (even if expired) to fulfill this prerequisite.

• Successful completion of an Anatomy & Physiology course is required, which can be in the form of a college transcript or online program.

  The following is a list of examples of online Anatomy and Physiology Courses that can be completed to fulfill the course prerequisite for application to the Justisse Fertility Awareness Educator Program. You may upload a certificate of completion or a screenshot of your final unit exam with grade to your application; course credit isn’t necessary. All reproductive health anatomy and physiology required for practicing as an FAE will be taught in the Justisse FAE program.

• 6 hours minimum instruction with a Justisse Method Instructor or Intern. This requirement may be completed concurrently with the FAE program, and the prerequisite is to contact an instructor and arrange your sessions in advance of starting the program. You may find an intern or graduate taking clients in our online directory and search by location, language, etc:  https://www.justisse.ca/directory-1

English language proficiency is required. Advanced fluency and perfect English is not required, but to successfully complete the program, you need to be able to understand instructions, discussions, and learning materials in English as well as express yourself understandably, both in writing and in speech.

With each new cohort, times zones will be taken into account to provide the most opportunity for students to attend live group sessions. Our faculty live in a wide range of time zones to accommodate the needs of students around the world.

Yes, you will want to let your contacts know when you will be starting your internship and market yourself.  Occasionally, the college fields requests for those looking to work with an intern and will provide a list of current interns to the potential client.  This is not something to be depended upon though and all interns are ultimately responsible for building their client base. Each student must work with a minimum of 6 clients during their internship with at least 6 hours of instruction/consultation per client.

Paying in full for the 15 month program costs $10,125 CAD, a 10% discount (save $1125) off of the total monthly payment plan. This includes 9 program modules and a 6-month internship.

We also offer a monthly subscription for $750/month for the duration of the 15-month program. When paying monthly, you may cancel at any time and you won’t be charged for future modules.

GST/HST applies for students in Canada and VAT applies for students in the EU. Depending on your location, U.S. state sales tax may apply and will be calculated at checkout.

Remember that you will also be charging for your services during the last six months of the program as an intern, which will help offset the cost of your training. Interns typically charge around $300–$400 CAD or USD per client for a 6-hour package, though rates vary based on location, prior credentials, and existing audience. As a guideline, many interns price their services at 40–60% of their intended post-graduation rates. Interns will be required to work with 6 clients during the six month internship.

As a distance-learning program, we must be compliant with the latest tax laws in each country of our students accessing the course. For Europeans, this means VAT, for some US states this means the relevant sales taxes. Some countries, states, and provinces do not require us to collect and remit taxes. You can look at the purchasing options on our learning management system platform to see if a sales tax is required for your region.

Tuition may be paid in full or billed monthly as a subscription.

The Association for Fertility Awareness Professionals offers a scholarship to qualifying students.  You can find more information and application details here: https://www.fertilityawarenessprofessionals.org/scholarship/

Many of our graduates have successfully found some financial support to help defer the cost of training. Students have received scholarships from 3rd parties that support women' s health and education. It is also possible to receive employer educational contributions to help cover the cost of your training.

Subscription Model: Enrolment is treated as a 15-month commitment. Students may cancel their subscription at any time to stop future payments, but payments for purchased modules are non-refundable.
