Course Length

To satisfy all possible interest areas, the school recognizes that some applicants are interested in hypnosis in terms of personal improvement and dynamics.  Others, only to the extent of being able to help, or be of service to those around them, as in the family, or using hypnotic skills as a part of their present profession.  Others, of course,  intend to develop a career in helping people. 

For this reason, we offer the course in several parts.  Each of the respective three parts is taught in two weekends.  This schedule allows a student to obtain classroom instruction and complete Directed Independent Study within a period of two weekends.
The total training is 180 hours and will cover a time of three calendar months.

Graduation and Certification

After the successful completion of all four segments, each graduate is issued a Certificate of Completion and can use the professional designation Ht (Hypnotherapist) .

You are then eligible for certification through IMDHA (International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association) and IACT (International Association of Counselors and Therapists).  The IMDHA certification examination is proctored on your last day of class at no additional fee. After successfully passing the certification examination you will be entitled to use the professional designation
C. Ht (Certified Hypnotherapist). 

Tuition:

In an effort to make the program more affordable, students are allowed 

12-moinths to complete the program without incurring additional charges or additional time requirements,

due to the increase in hours required by IMDHA.

 

The student may study a Module at a time.  Module 1 is the Basic Hypnosis;  Module 2 is the Advanced Hypnosis, and Module 4 Is the Rapid Change Techniques (40 hours each).  Module 3 is Additional  Therapies at 40 hours.  Each module costs $540. The student must successfully complete each Module before moving on to the next level Module.

 

 

Beginning January 2013.  the required hours for IMDHA certification increases to 200 hours. Those students enrolling in 2012 and completing requirements for graduation within 12 months, will require only 180 hours of study to receive their IMDHA certification.

 

The book fee for Modules 1, 2, and 5 is $150  and is required to be paid, in full, at the start of Module 1.  The Book fee for Module 3 is $40 and is required before the start of Module 3. Module 3 5 is also a Continuing Educational Unit class and may be taken by previously certified hypnotists/hypnotherapists including previous graduates of this school.
