Hypnotherapy Diploma Training Course

toither tenOur Hypnotherapy Diploma Training Course consists of over 450 hours of study including 120 hours of classroom instruction in addition to home study, therapy, assignments, exercises and case work.

This is a full diploma by PSI Training, leading to qualification as a Practitioner in Hypno-Psychotherapy. Graduates are eligible for registration at Practitioner status within both the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) and the professional’s voluntary regulator, the Complementary and Natural Health Care Council (CNHC). You will be eligible for a General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP), which is awarded by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC) to suitably qualified practitioners who meet the criteria for Practitioner level registration. This course is of a higher level that some Diplomas (of less than 450 hours study) which lead to only Affiliate status with the GHSC and is therefore not eligible for inclusion within the GHR.

Classroom instruction will consist of a mixture of lectures, demonstrations and participatory exercises. The taught course and final examination comprises 20 days in total, typically spaced over either ten weekends or six weekends and two 4-day weekends (Friday to Monday inclusive). Other options are available, including intensive weekday courses. Please call for more details.

Student progress will be individually monitored allowing both the student and tutors to ensure that appropriate levels of learning are maintained. Students of our Hypnotherapy Diploma Training Course, will be advised if the tutors feel that they need to put in further work in any areas or where additional support and help may be required.

Home study is a mandatory part of the course. This comprises of several reading assignments, self-study courses including Introductory Physiology and Basic Psychology and course set-books, details of which are included within the prospectus. In addition, there will be further assignments, exercises and case work.

The qualifications will only be available to those students who have satisfactorily completed the course. The Institute’s Diploma, enabling students to join a professional association, obtain insurance and practise (under supervision), will be issued upon a satisfactory assessment.

The Hypnotherapy Diploma Training Course assessment will be based on:

three written case histories;

a specimen piece of practical work; and

a one hour written examination.

The assessment will be to NVQ standard and students will be entitled to re-sit individual modules if necessary.  An External Assessor may be present. Full feedback will be given.

All graduates who intend to practice will be expected to join a professional association, obtain appropriate insurance and adhere to a professional code of ethics. It is a mandatory requirement for GHR Registered Practitioners to engage in supervision (either one-to-one or group led), for a minimum of two hours in any three month period during their first two years of practice, although we recommend supervision be on-going.  Failure to comply may result in the withdrawal of the Diploma qualification.

The Hypnotherapy Diploma Training Course content may vary from time to time to reflect the latest developments in the field and the changing requirements of students. PSI Training reserve the right to do this without prior notification.

Practitioners, once qualified, will be encouraged to continue to study on the Advanced Workshops. Many professional associations will insist on a minimum amount of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training to maintain membership. These workshops cover a variety of more specialised subject areas and are available to anyone with a background in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, enabling them to enhance their abilities and to analyse and devise strategies for more complex problems.
