Common Questions
Whats the difference between the Academy and other home study courses?
Often home study hypnosis courses are just videos with no supervision to assist skills as they develop and to build confidence applying hypnosis with clients. Some home study courses may even claim to offer unlimited supervision but with most hypnotherapists charging typically £80 an hour work backwards from the course fee to see how much supervision could be included.
In the Academy a full five hours is included in the training for personal supervision and mentoring and this level is essential to build skills and confidence to work professionally.
The Academy home study training has been very carefully designed with integrity to match the Academy classroom foundation hypnosis training that has been successfully taught to hundreds students for 25 years.
