Our Model

IPEC offers three tracks: Intimacy Coordination, Intimacy Direction, and Intimacy Education.

 

Any section or topic marked with a green asterisk '*' is required by SAG-AFTRA.

 

All sections consist of Lectures, Labs, and Accountability conversations.

 

All lectures are prerecorded.

​

Already have training in a specific area? Have an intake conversation and just take the lab.

 

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO EVERY SECTION

Schedule a "Welcome Mentor Hour" to decide where to step in.

​

Labs MUST be completed in order to receive credit for viewing lectures.

Not sure where to begin?
Start with an intake conversation!

Mentor and intake conversations are an opportunity to speak with our educator about the lectures, answer any questions, and to think critically how to apply what you re learning with a mentor right by your side.
