​
What exactly awaits you? Here’s an overview of all modules:
​
1. Psychological Foundations:
You’ll dive deep into the psychology of power and submission. Learn how power dynamics work in BDSM relationships, what it means to take responsibility, and how to develop emotional intelligence. Building trust, dealing with vulnerability, and de-escalating conflicts are key topics. You’ll gain tools to communicate clearly and respectfully, even in challenging situations.
​
2. Physical Foundations:
You’ll train your body—endurance, flexibility, and pain tolerance are on the agenda. You’ll learn various BDSM practices like rope bondage, positioning, and movement control, and practice safe handling of equipment such as whips and ropes. There’s also theory and practice around pain management and recovery. Specialized first aid training for BDSM emergencies and injury prevention are, of course, included.
​
3. Communication & Consent:
This is all about clear communication—both verbal and non-verbal. You’ll learn how to express your desires and boundaries, create a personal limits profile, and conduct consent discussions before, during, and after sessions. Safewords and other safety mechanisms are intensively trained so you can always protect yourself and others.
​
4. Health & Hygiene:
You’ll get the know-how on hygiene standards, cleaning and disinfecting equipment, and self-care before and after sessions. Identifying risk zones on the body, infection prevention, skin care, and nutrition for physical and mental strength are all part of the plan, as is stress and fatigue management.
​
5. Theoretical Foundations:
You’ll explore the history and development of BDSM, delve into cultural differences and influences, and learn how art, literature, and film shape the scene. Legal basics are also covered: you’ll get an overview of the legal situation in different countries and know your rights and responsibilities as a participant.
​
6. Ethics & Values:
Voluntariness, respect, and responsibility are the foundation of every session. You’ll learn how to recognize and respect personal and mutual boundaries, how to handle power and trust responsibly, and how to be sensitive to different experiences and traumas.
​
7. Practice & Simulation:
Now it’s hands-on! In realistic scenarios and role plays, you’ll practice what you’ve learned under the guidance of experienced trainers. You’ll develop your own characters and scenarios, receive honest feedback, and document your progress. This way, you’ll grow step by step into your role.
​
8. Final Exam & Certification:
At the end comes the big test: you’ll show what you’ve got—both theoretically and practically. After successfully completing the program, you’ll receive a recognized certificate that opens the door to the professional BDSM community.
