Strengths of the program
Founded in 1987, Justisse College International (JCI) was the first secular, Fertility Awareness Educator (FAE) training program. Our curriculum draws from decades of experience.
JCI completed a multi-year, exhaustive review of the literature and methodological update in 2025, publishing new guidebooks and teaching materials to meet the needs of an ever changing landscape of reproductive health.
The FAE program at JCI is a comprehensive, evidence informed, and intellectually robust FAE training.
At Justisse, we are aware of the deep significance this work has for the individual client, and the sensitive nature of the information that can arise when charting. In addition to mastering the Justisse Method, our instructors study the history of women’s health, including political, medical, ethical, emotional and socioeconomic influences. This nuanced education is what we believe makes Justisse Method Instructors some of the best in the field of fertility awareness educators.
Your Questions, Answered
-
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.

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.
