In order to be eligible for accreditation to Hypnosis Practitioner Status within the UK framework of hypnotherapy qualifications, it is essential that you undertake a course of study that provides no less than 120 hours (16 days) of classroom-based training with a requirement of 450 hours in total. Our program meets these requirements as outlined below:
Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner course
We train to a full 120+ hours (16 days) classroom training so that you obtain the skills and experience necessary to become a confident clinical practitioner. This is built up over 4 modules.
- Module 1: 6-day Hypnosis Diploma (2 off 3-day modules)
- Module 2 & 3: 7-day NLP Practitioner (SNLP accredited)
- Module 4: 3-day development module
The remaining 330+ training hours are made up of individual research, book reviews, reviews of key clinical papers, case studies, supervision and maintaining a personal reflection diary.
Revision & Research (100 hrs)
Students are expected to continue their development with research into the field, areas of application, crossover from other fields including the study of the placebo effect. Students will be expected to submit records, plus opportunities to discuss this work will be part of the supervision time.
Professional Practice (90 hrs)
Evidence of the application of the core curriculum and learning outcomes set out in the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hypnotherapy must be demonstrated here. Application and understanding of the code of ethics, understanding of the guidelines for dealing with vulnerable adults and children (if applicable), mental capacity act, domestic violence awareness etc.
Case Studies (100 hrs)
8 to 10 case studies are to be submitted covering key areas of smoking cessation, anxiety management, allied anxiety conditions e.g. Phobias and IBS and motivation/confidence. Case studies can also be submitted in a chosen specialist area e.g. pain management, addictions etc.
Case studies need to show use of the different approach to hypnosis as covering in the course
Hypnosis development (40 hrs)
During this section of work, students are expected to develop treatment programs and scripts for a number of client scenarios. This could be considered as an open-book exam some of which will be discussed with fellow students on a peer supervision day.

Training Standards
In 2011, ALL national hypnotherapy organisations came to an agreement and finally put in place national standards for the training of hypnotherapists. Whilst flexibility in theoretical underpinning and approach has been retained, a core curriculum and learning outcomes has been mapped to the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hypnotherapy. This must now be incorporated within any course of training that wishes to ensure its graduates will meet the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (the profession’s regulator) criteria for individual practitioner registration beyond 1st September 2012.
