# Do my SPs need to be trained actors?

Standardized patients do not necessarily require formal acting training as their main focus is on accurately simulating medical conditions and giving valuable feedback. Avkin provides an online Standardized Patient Certificate Program for those interested in enhancing their skills in this area. Find out more information about this program [HERE](https://avkin.com/simulation-training-and-certificate/).
