- E-learning contraception
- Contraception training (theory and skill)
- In vivo training
The e-learning Tailored contraceptive advice (AVM) and the Contraception Skills Training of Titus Health Care have been approved by the KNOV as steps in preparation for the in vivo training in placing spirals.
