Course of Instruction
Occupational Objective:
To become a hypnotist, or to develop the ability to engage in other professional uses of hypnosis. A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the course.
Prerequisite for Admission:
Life experience leading to emotional maturity, high principles and a responsible attitude, as judged by the administrative staff on the basis of a written application, and interview. A fairly high degree of self-disclosure and willingness to participate in self-exploration exercises is a requirement for the program.
Progress Record
Our program uses a thoroughly researched feedback system that has been shown to build self-confidence, as well as competence. The procedure involves giving the student specific, positive behavioral feedback immediately after demonstrations of skill (e.g., hypnotizing). This builds confidence. This evaluation is performed by members of our apprenticeship program who supervise the daily performance of each student in groups of 2 or 3. These evaluations are then recorded on the Student’s Evaluation Form, along with the grades for two written examinations—the mid-term exam, and the Final qualifying exam.
All exams are given and graded under Sue Marshall’s direct supervision, along with all aspects of the student evaluation process. If the students have difficulty with any aspect, they are given special tutoring as part of the program so that all students completing the program satisfy the minimum requirements by the end of the training. There will be some additional cost for students requiring tutoring, $20.00 per hour. Students are graded on a pass/fail system.

The Certified Hypnotherapist 225-hour training program prepares the student to assist others in achieving hypnotic states and applying hypnotic principals effectively and safely.

At this time the greatest employment opportunity as a hypnotherapist comes from starting a private practice. Employment opportunities with other health care professionals such as dentists, chiropractors, massage therapists etc. are possibilities, but can be rare and students are encouraged to open their own practice.

The Certified Hypnotherapist training program is 225 hours. The course is divided into 7 months, 4 days per month. Each 2-day session is conducted on either the first and third weekend of each month, for seven months and each session day is 8 hours long. There are also six “trade” sessions (totaling 9 hours). The textbooks and workbooks used in class focus on Transformational Hypnotherapy.
Each weekend class provides lecture, live demonstrations, occasional video demonstrations, group discussions and at least 4 hours of giving and receiving actual hypnosis sessions as the students practice with each other.

NJ
I received the benefit of personal growth and development by attending hypnotherapy school. I had very supportive teachers. Not only did I meet new people, but most importantly I was introduced to the inner me. By allowing myself to let go of old patterns and behaviors I became more aware of who I am, as a human being. You learn to peel the onion back and get down to the core of who you really are. Not only do you receive the personal benefits from the education but you can also receive the benefits of a potential career opportunity. Hypnotherapy is a life-changing experience.
Barbara
Sue is an amazing Hypnotherapist and I have learned so much from her that I have been able to apply to my own private practice. She is very compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental. She is always in a good mood and is very warm and bubbly. I have gained knowledge about inner child work and the codependency triangle. It seems like she has a solution for any problem you can think of. She is constantly working to improve her practice. She is definitely one of the best therapists I have ever met. I am looking forward to continue learning from her and being a student at her school. Highly recommended!!!
