Accredited Fertility Awareness Educators you and your patients can rely on

Ensure your patients receive evidence-based fertility awareness education by partnering with an AFAP-accredited educator.

Why providers trust AFAP accreditation

Science-based, inclusive, full-spectrum reproductive care.

Science-backed expertise

AFAP educators are trained in Fertility Awareness methods grounded in science. Our accredited programs ensure educators deliver accurate and unbiased information on cycle tracking as well as reproductive and sexual health.

Inclusive & full-spectrum

From family planning to contraception and cycle health, each client receives inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free care. Our educators respect all identities, relationship types, and reproductive intentions.

Rigorous education

AFAP accreditation represents rigorous education, mentorship, and a clinical internship. Educators maintain certification through ongoing continuing education, ensuring professional competence and up-to-date evidence-based practices.

Partnering with educators you can trust

With the increase in misinformation on fertility and reproductive health, referring patients to an accredited Fertility Awareness Educator ensures they receive the most accurate, evidence-based information and counseling.

How do I know if an educator is qualified?

Look for the AFAP Accredited Educator icon on their website or materials. This credential ensures the educator has completed one of our accredited programs, passed competency evaluations, successfully worked with a variety of clients under supervision, and participates in ongoing continuing education and professional development.

When should I refer a patient to a qualified educator?

There are a wide variety of patients who may benefit from working with an accredited Fertility Awareness Educator.

Patients who express interest in hormone-free birth control or indicate they are using an app for contraception
Patients who are hoping to conceive in the next year or are actively trying and need additional support, as well as those who are struggling to become pregnant.
Patients with irregular menstrual cycles due to PCOS, breastfeeding, postpartum, or perimenopause.
Patients who want to learn more about their hormonal health or menstrual cycles.

Our accredited Fertility Awareness Educators provide thorough, unbiased, client-centered support.

Do Fertility Awareness educators accept insurance?

Most educators operate independently and do not bill insurance directly. However, some may be able to provide superbills that can be submitted for reimbursement. In the US, patients can use funds from their flexible spending or health savings accounts.

How can healthcare providers collaborate with educators?

AFAP educators welcome collaboration with clinicians to improve patient outcomes. Collaboration can include:

Patient education on menstrual cycle health, reproductive physiology, and Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FABMs).
Support with patient menstrual cycle chart interpretation.
Supporting patients with integrating lifestyle recommendations given by a healthcare provider.
Ongoing Fertility Awareness Method instruction for all intentions.
