Who This Is For
Is This Training Right for You?
This training is designed for adults preparing to serve as a chaperone for someone participating in an Adult Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP). Whether you are here on a referral from a treatment provider or you sought this training on your own, you are in the right place.
You are a family member, spouse, partner, or designated adult preparing to serve in a formal chaperone role.
You have been referred to complete chaperone training by a treatment provider or supervising officer.
You want to understand your responsibilities, legal obligations, and boundaries before signing a chaperone contract.
You are committed to supporting both community safety and the treatment process for the individual in treatment.
This training is appropriate for chaperones working with any adult SOTP program, regardless of which treatment provider is involved.

The Process
How the Training Works
The course is self-paced with one required live session. Here is exactly what to expect from enrollment through certification.
Enroll and Access the Course
Complete your enrollment and gain immediate access to the course. Download your Chaperone Training Manual and begin at your own pace.
Complete the Content Modules
Work through five content modules covering roles and responsibilities, safety and risk management, legal compliance, and the chaperone contract. Each module includes a video lesson, reading material, and a short quiz. You must pass each quiz at 80% or higher before advancing. Retakes are unlimited.
Attend Your Live Facilitator Session
After completing the content modules, you will attend a required live session with a facilitator from SOTP Training Institute. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get direct guidance. Your final assessment will not unlock until this session is complete.
Pass the Final Assessment
Complete a comprehensive final assessment covering all course content. A score of 80% or higher is required. Retakes are unlimited.
Receive Your Certificate of Completion
Upon passing the final assessment, your Certificate of Completion is generated automatically. Bring this certificate to the treatment provider as documentation that you have completed the required chaperone training.
Important Information
What This Training Does and Does Not Do
This training certifies that you have completed the educational requirements for the chaperone role. It does not replace the formal chaperone contract process.
The chaperone contract, which makes your role official, is completed separately with the individual in treatment's therapist or treatment provider, the client, and the supervising officer. That process happens outside of this course and is specific to the individual in treatment's case.
Your Certificate of Completion is the document you bring to that meeting as proof of training. If you have questions about the contract process or the specific requirements of the treatment program, contact the treatment provider or supervising officer directly.
