Core Curriculum
Review Courses
Students watch 14 hours of pre-recorded videos recorded by our instructors, each semester. Each course is followed by a short quiz which students must pass before moving on to the next course. Courses cover a variety of relevant topics, including queer & trans history, relationships, WPATH Standards of Care, legal and estate planning for LGBTQ+ persons and families, dating, non-monogamy, parenting, and more.
28 hours total

Anti-Racism Classes
Becoming a competent care provider for the queer community requires an understanding of intersectionality. The interconnectedness of homophobia, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, anti-Semitism, ageism, etc., shapes our experiences. QTAP providers work to dismantle all forms of oppression. Toward that goal, students participate in two 3-hour Anti-Racism classes during the Fall Semester and one 3-hour class in the Spring Semester. Some additional reading required.
9 hours total
03
Individual & Group Consultation
QTAP students schedule four 60-minute individual sessions with their assigned faculty consultant each semester (8 sessions for the year), plus four 90-minute group sessions with the QTAP Director of Curriculum. NOTE: Individual consultation involves confidential case discussions by those in the mental health field. Therefore, those working toward QTAP-Affiliate designation instead of certification attend group but are not required to participate in individual consultation.
8 hours individual + 6 hours group = 14 hours total
(QTAP-Affiliates = 6 hours group only)
04
CRC Attendance & Graduation
QTAP students finish the program by attending the Contemporary Relationships Conference in the Spring (Monmouth University, dates to be announced soon) and earning at least 8 credit hours. This in-person event is an energetic and fun way to collaborate with your cohort and includes a graduation ceremony to publicly recognize students for achieving QTAP certification.
