When more IS more....Why 10 months training?

A question many students may well be asking themselves when considering their choice of Hypnotherapy training school…

The answer is simple, the National Occupational Standard for hypnotherapy training as defined by UKCHO states the required number of tuition hours. Learning outcomes required etc expected to fulfil their requirement, some shorter courses fall short of this requirement. Can the full NOS be covered in the time frame your potential training school is quoting?

Please note, that in order to meet national occupational standards, hypnotherapy training organisations must provide training courses which consist of a minimum of 120 hours face to face training.

When graduating a course you will be dealing with client’s that in many cases have muti-faceted and sometimes complex issues, would a brief training stand you in good order to be able take these cases on? Whilst initial enthusiasm will carry a newly qualified practitioner some of the way, it is only experience that will empower and enable the therapist to be able to look at alternative and/or a combination of the most appropriate best practice strategies.. shorter courses may be a good starting point but when choosing and making your investment in both time, effort and money you should ensure the training provider delivers a return where you are truly skilled and empowered to go forward on a mulit disciplined base (what happens if your client shows signs contra to the use of hypnosis?)

Is your trainer UKCHO registered. UKCHO is an umbrella organization for hypnotherapy practitioners in the United Kingdom. It is the aim of UKCHO to promote the professional regulation of hypnotherapy within the United Kingdom. The aim of such regulation is to set standards of ethics and training which ensure that all hypnotherapy practitioners are safe and competent to practice, thus fulfilling the primary criterion of professional regulation - protecting the public. UKCHO has done this by establishing a code of conduct, ethics and practice, setting national occupational standards and a common curriculum for hypnotherapy training, and establishing this National Register of Hypnotherapists. My UKCHO registration number is 80940, I urge you to ask your training provider for theirs.
