Why an online course?

 

We have been presenting our in-person Diploma course since 2007 and around 250 students have passed through our doors. We do, however, live in an ever-changing world and we acknowledge the increased convenience of studying and working online. Please note that we continue to offer the in-person course in Nottingham as well.

 

Our Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and Mind Coaching is one of the most advanced courses you will find in the country. This is because we cover the most up-to-date and effective techniques in the field of hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching, as well as the more traditional approaches to hypnotherapy. The latest research into neuro-science, the mind-body link, and human capability are integral parts of our course. So when you qualify you will be suitably equipped to help many people to change their lives in very powerful ways. 

 

​

What does the course involve?

 

The course consists of around 120 hours of live online training (which is a combination of theory, demonstrations and practical sessions), as follows:-

 

36 live sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30pm until around 9.30pm.

 

4 weekend sessions from 9.30 until 1pm, where Dr Steve Lowe will be giving his talks regarding the brain, neurotransmitters, mind-body connection, stress response, polyvagal theory, etc.

 

Comprehensive course notes will be provided (more than 40,000 words) plus hypnosis scripts to get you started. You will be required to complete written and reading assignments between weekend sessions and complete three case studies. There are written and practical exams towards the end of the course. 

​

​

What happens when you qualify?

 

You will be eligible to become a full member of the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR). Also, you will be able to join the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). If you decide to set up in practice, further support, in the form of supervision and/or peer support can be obtained through your course tutor, or through the GHR or NCH if you prefer.

 

As a therapist, you will be required to have regular supervision as a member of the GHR or NCH anyway, and to abide by their Code of Ethics.
