OPT Online Training Program

Level Two volunteers are enrolled in a paced 8-week online program that covers 6 modules on sexual health fundamentals. These include:

  1. Gender & Sexuality
  2. Human Sexuality
  3. Communication
  4. Anatomy & Physiology
  5. Contraception
  6. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

In addition, the online course reviews the laws of disclosure and briefly covers topics around healthy sexual activity.

The OPT online training program is both comprehensive and flexible: volunteers are asked to devote approximately four hours a week to the program, at times that are convenient for them. Learning is self-directed, but actively supported by the training facilitators.

Here at OPT we work hard to promote a dynamic and interactive group learning atmosphere. Each intake group consists of 20 volunteers and 1 or 2 facilitators. The training includes open and interactive forums, multi-media learning tools, case studies, personal journals, case studies, and ongoing feedback on assignments.
