The training course combines extensive supervised practical 'hands-on' experience with distance learning and is accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and United Kingdom Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations . This course is also an Approved Training Course of the National Council of Psychotherapists . The course emphasises the importance of the individual with students undergoing several sessions of hypnoanalysis during the practical part of the course. This ensures that they not only attain insight into what their clients will experience but also reach a deeper understanding of themselves. They also gain extensive theoretical knowledge, practical experience and confidence in their ability to provide investigative hypnoanalytical methods and therapeutic techniques for specific problems.
Students practise hypnotherapy techniques on each other daily from the second day of the course.
