The Business of Pleasure Certification

These courses are most helpful for anyone seeking to create or expand a career in the adult novelty industry as well as those in the field of sexuality such as: sex education, home party, counseling and coaching. What makes these courses so unique is that they focus on what it takes to run a successful business that offers sexual products and services.

While some are already established and are looking to utilize the NAASAS certification as a marketing tool; we feel that reviewing this information will provide helpful information for even seasoned professionals with reminders of information that can sometimes be overlooked as the work of daily fulfillment for orders grows. Refresher training can serve as an excellent means of helping professionals remain up-to-date and fully informed which can be used to optimize a company's existing solutions for enhanced services.
