Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you have an option to pay in instalments?

  Yes, you can make payment instalments over 10 months.

• What qualifications do I need to train to be a Hypnotherapist?

  You don't need any! Just great enthusiasm and a commitment to succeed.

• How long is the course?

  This comprehensive course spans a concise six-month duration, divided into eight manageable modules. We've carefully structured the curriculum to ensure ease of management for participants. What's more, the inclusion of home study allows you the flexibility to progress at your own pace, seamlessly integrating your learning with your busy schedule.

• How much does the course cost?

  We’ve got two great choices for you!

  The price of the course is £3480

  First, you can pay the total amount of £3380 upfront and save yourself £100.

  Or, if you prefer, you can make an initial deposit of £348.00 and pay the remaining balance in instalments over ten months. That way, you can spread the cost out more.

  Now, here’s the best part, after you finish Module 7 of the course, you’ll be able to charge half the price for a 50-minute session! That means you can start to earn back your course fees before you finish the course. Brilliant, huh?

• What happens if I can't make one of the modules?

  You can attend the module at another school, or we will catch you up with lecturing support. No problem.

• Will I have to take an exam at the end of the course?

  I'm delighted to share that there won't be a final exam upon completion of the course. However, rest assured that your progress and development will be carefully monitored by our dedicated lecturers throughout the duration of the program. Classroom assessments will be conducted periodically to ensure thorough evaluation and support your continuous growth.

• What can I do with my qualifications after I graduate?

  Upon graduation, you'll have a range of options available to you with your hypnotherapy diplomas and qualifications. One avenue is establishing your private practice, offering both in-person and online sessions to clients. Alternatively, you can delve into corporate wellness, providing tailored services to businesses. There's also the opportunity to specialize in various areas such as sports performance, weight management, and children's well-being. Additionally, many hypnotherapists engage in delivering paid talks to local groups, and we'll equip you with the skills to excel in this area as well.

• Is Hypnotherapy regulated?

  I

  For those contemplating a career as a hypnotherapist in the UK, it's crucial to understand that unlike counselling and psychotherapy, this field lacks statutory regulation. Nevertheless, you can establish yourself as a credible and ethical practitioner by pursuing accredited training and affiliating with professional associations.

  By doing so, you assure your clients of your commitment to rigorous training and adherence to high ethical standards, offering them peace of mind.

  To attain accreditation, you must fulfill specific requirements regarding education, training, and practical experience. Additionally, you'll need to engage in continuous professional development, undergo supervision, and adhere to a strict code of conduct.

  While numerous courses exist, some of which are self-accrediting or unaccredited, the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) stands out as a nationally recognized qualification accredited by the NCFE and benchmarked against Ofqual standards. Increasingly accepted by traditional medicine and health insurance providers, obtaining the HPD is a valuable investment in your hypnotherapy career.

• Will I receive ongoing support after I graduate?

  Upon completion of the course, all alumni will gain entry to the HIVE—an exclusive post-course platform meticulously curated to provide continuous support. This digital space serves as a central repository for an array of resources, featuring booster videos showcasing effective techniques and insightful podcasts. Moreover, graduates will enjoy the privilege of accessing a curated collection of music tracks tailored to induce specific mental states.

  Regular updates on the HIVE will include the latest scripts and cutting-edge methodologies to keep graduates abreast of advancements in the field. A dedicated forum will facilitate Q&A sessions, fostering engagement and nurturing a strong sense of community among members. Additionally, graduates will be encouraged to participate in supervision sessions, with a comprehensive list of supervisors readily available on the HIVE to offer ongoing guidance for their professional development.
