Training Essentials for Title X Grantees Toolkit
Welcome to the Toolkit
This toolkit provides Title X grantees with a summary of resources they may use to train their networks. All of the training resources are available on the Reproductive Health National Training Center (RHNTC) and the National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning (NCTCFP) websites. The RHNTC and NCTCFP provide free training, technical assistance, and resources that support Title X agencies in delivering high-quality family planning and preventive health services. NCTCFP is specifically charged with providing clinical training to nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, physicians, and physician assistants.
Title X grantees can get connected to the RHNTC and NCTCFP in the following ways:
- Sign up for our joint newsletter and training announcements.
- Create an account on the RHNTC website to save resources for later, register for eLearning courses, and track and share completed training. Clinical staff should also register for the NCTCFP Health eKnowledge system to participate in clinical training.
- Reach out to their assigned RHNTC grantee “Liaison” who will also check in with grantees periodically to share information and discuss grantee training needs and priorities.
- Contact RHNTC or NCTCFP with questions.
Title X grantees can review the foundational training resources provided in this toolkit and may consider using the resources to orient staff at subrecipient agencies as needed. Grantees may use the training resources in this toolkit in any order. The toolkit includes resources on the following topics:
- Overview of Program Requirements
- Clinical Guidelines
- Required Training Topics
- Reporting for Title X
The Title X Program Requirements consist of the Federal statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to the Title X program.

Providing Quality Family Planning Services: Recommendations of CDC and the U.S. Office of Population Affairs (QFP) offers federal evidence-informed guidelines for the delivery of family planning services.

The QFP and Program Requirements documents together comprise the Family Planning Guidelines.
