What to look for in a hypnotherapy training provider

· Training experience. Are the trainer’s full time hypnotherapists or just fresh off a course? Are they Senior Registered with an organisation (500 hours minimum of clinical work)? How are the classes run as Masterclassess or powerpoint slide shows?


· Trainer class ratios are they 6:1 or 60:1

· Is practise management covered?

· Trainer styles are they complementary so you learn more?

· Is the training relevant based on core hypnotherapy and NLP or is top heavy on theory as infill to increase the numbers of hours?

· Course content. Theoretical or practical based.

· Are the hours as advertised realistic and actual?

· Location accessible with parking

· Venue.presentable and professional.

· Length of course relevant and to the point or just dragged out over a 10-month period?

· Payment options by card/cheque/cash.monthly/1/2/ full installment. Are you penalised for monthly payments?

Free coaching and supervision

For a three-month period after qualifying we offer 3 months of ongoing supervision by qualified hypnotherapy supervisors
This is a unique opportunity to receive 121 coaching at a critical time in your practise development during the all-important early months.

We include this at no extra cost, as we believe in undoing everything possible to help you succeed.

We both have come form successful business backgrounds as well as running successful full time practises.

With a highly practical course geared to the realities of the hypnotherapy business and with business coaching post diploma, this can be the difference in being established as soon as possible or not. We would also be on hand to give ongoing support for technical queries of the “how to deal with this” nature.

In the early days of running a practise it is vital to be able to save on costs and feel you are making then right decisions both clinically and professionally.

So it’s useful to have your very own coaching team dedicated to your success.

We also believe it is essential to support you and not just leave you to own devises like so many other training providers.

Running a hypnotherapy business whether full or par time can be a lonely occupation so having a coach to call on can make a difference.

hypnotherapy training some facts

The more organisations that recognise the hypnotherapy training the better it is?

Not so. A recognised body (there are several) that can independently validate the quality of training to set criteria and standards is enough. Their validation allows the training to award a diploma, which means that indemnity can be acquired which is a legal requirement to be able to practise and charge fees.

The more awards we give you the better the hypnotherapy training.

In the real world what matters, when you are running a practise is having the skill set from a hypnotherapy diploma that allows you to be effective, within the actual work streams that will be presented to you. Most work streams for hypnotherapy are based on smoking, weight loss and anxiety. Anxiety underpins most if not all of the work. Also phobias and whatever your chosen market is.

Even more important is having the tool kit to be able to attract clients and build up your skill levels and professionalism. Most clients are referred to you from other clients who have experienced successful outcomes working with you.

Hypnotherapy is a practical profession and results driven. Full time hypnotherapists who are the minority are self-employed.

Some training providers in striving to be able to advertise training in other areas, to attract more students, invariably go outside their own areas of expertise.

"HPD is the finest qualification in the land for hypnotherapy training"

This is often touted by training schools that offer it. HPD "training" is not really further training at all but rather relies upon the submission of a portfolio of varied material - scarcely viable evidence of either superior training or resultant superior practitioners. It often duplicates the diploma, which you are studying for

"HPD will be required for hypnotherapy training due to forthcoming regulation"

Not so. Regulation of any type has yet to be agreed. There is absolutely no link between the need for HPD to be able to practise and any forthcoming regulation.

"HPD is the only externally verified and independent hypnotherapy training in the land"

HPD has been created by the NCH. and is marked and assessed by them as such after a trainer has marked it. The NCFE produces the award. In my experience having trained students in it and thus having marked numerous portfolios, not all portfolios are then actually assessed. It is totally theory based.

"The more hours the better the hypnotherapy training"?

Not so. Quality not quantity. If a training provider knows the business, and what they are doing, and provides the number of hours required without unnecessary excess and no more, (with validation from a major body that has examined the training) you will be able you to practise successfully. Especially if free coaching back up and support has been provided.

regulation and hypnotherapy training

Some training providers state that you can only practise using their HPD qualification because of forthcoming regulation. This is total nonsense.

Nothing as yet has been agreed about regulation nor compliance, especially with regard to hypnotherapy training.

In the main hypnotherapy is undertaken by part-timers, very few run full time practises. To do that you must be able to run a very professional and effective operation, whereby results and ethics are key.

If a practitioner is Senior Reg.This means at least 500 hours in practise so the likelihood is they are full time, with the skills set to match.

As a start point if you are looking at ethics and standards, anybody coming into hypnotherapy,or is in the business, should be credit checked regularly , and checked to see if they have a criminal or police record.

Some hypnotherapy organisations allow testimonials and some do not.My view is that they can provide important evidence of effectiveness and professionalism and as long as they can be backed up, are therefore valid.

Hypnotherapy practioners must always show on there websites which organisation they are affiliated to,especially if they promote themselves as advocates of regulation.

What can help our profession is the education of the public, away from the link to stage hypnosis. Most perceptions are based on this and this unfortunately makes hypnotherapy underused as a technique.

Hypnotherapy should be in the main stream and until stage performers are marginalised as just that, and nothing else, hypnotherapy will overall remain outside of the mainstream.

hypnotherapy training franchises

A training franchise is a set up whereby you pay an amount to buy into a training provider and then pay a percentage of your gross income to them. (This can vary between 17.5% to 25% of the gross)

This saves you having to write your own training material and having it approved,so it can be a much quicker route into training.

To be an effective trainer you need to be an experienced hypnotherapist.

The franchisor may or may not take this into consideration.

Trainer levels may be lower due to the fact that after net costs, the net profit share of the remaining balance will be lower.

They may still advertise 2 trainers however only one will be in full time attendance the other may “guest” at various slots.

This will affect the level of practical work, which may mean you will have to pay more for "practise sessions" outside of the training.

The franchisor may or may not visit the franchisee to see if the training taking place resembles the prospectus.

Terence Watts in his guide to hypnotherapy training providers is especially scathing of franchise operations.He states

"The Franchised Training School

BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL OF THIS ONE: It is becoming quite common for owners of schools to get therapists to run their courses in different parts of the Country. All well and good, except for the fact that it often looks to the student as if you are studying with a branch of the 'parent' school. The fact is, though, that these satellite schools frequently do not belong to and are not under the guidance/jurisdiction of the 'parent' school. It is a business transaction, pure and simple, like a franchise operation".

Some may hide the fact that it is franchise by saying they are a “director" or a "principal" or "my training school " or they run an "academy" even.
At the end of the day it is still a franchise.

If you’re looking at training providers in the Milton Keynes and Swindon area and wish to know whether a training provider is franchise please call or email for more information.

“Sam’s experience in sales and proactive marketing was a helpful tool in the training as it gave a real insight into how a therapist can develop quickly and what is effective at securing clients. He also has a vast knowledge of different techniques which were brought in when relevant to the training.
Sam was personable and enjoyable to work with. I didn’t feel I was being ‘trained’ I felt as if he was helping me to learn. Too many people cannot connect with their classes and talk at the students, with Sam it was very much a synchronised effort to learn the knowledge and I felt that they really cared about my qualification”.
