Hypnotherapy Diploma and NLP Practitioner Certificate

(Accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the NCFE)

Introduction

This is our flagship course and is suitable for anyone wishing to begin a new career, or to add to existing skills, or even for personal development. Becoming a hypnotherapist is certainly a challenge which can be extremely rewarding and fulfilling.

Many people from all walks of life train to become a hypnotherapist. The minimum age required would normally be 24 and maximum 102! Taxi drivers, housewives, senior managers, doctors and many others have all found the training to be more than worthwhile, both personally and professionally.

To become a qualified hypnotherapist and to have the confidence in helping people to change takes time and practice. Shorter courses may offer the same kind of training, but most clients will expect a therapist to have had at least a year’s training. Intensive courses cram the information which often cannot be assimilated enough to be of practical use.

Our training aims to give you a broad knowledge in how to help people successfully, and most of all confidently. It is a client’s right and expectation to have a qualified and confident therapist.

Joy Gower Hypnotherapy Training will offer you supervision and support during and after the course. The aftercare is vital, and so it can be reassuring for you to know your trainers and co-ordinator will be there with full support.

Accreditation and Membership

The Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma is a qualification that is verified by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and externally verified by NCFE, a leading UK awarding body. Many hypnotherapy training schools just issue their own certificates which are not accredited by an outside body. The NCH and NCFE both verify our training to ensure that we adhere to high standards of teaching and that the students have achieved a good standard of learning. The award is a vocational qualification at Level 4 (i.e. the equivalent of NVQ Level 4). When you receive your certificate from the NCH or NCFE you will know that it is worth having and that you deserve it. You will then be able to upgrade to a Registered member of the NCH.

The NLP Practitioner Certificate is also externally verified by the NCFE and is at Level 3. Again, this means that the training is verified against an approved set of learning outcomes that have been agreed with the NCFE. Our training policies, processes and procedures are also verified to ensure that the quality of our training is maintained.

Open University Credit Transfer Points

Upon successfully completing the NCH Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma, you will be entitled to 45 credit transfer points at Undergraduate Level 1 towards an Open Degree with the Open University. They count towards degrees of Equal BA/BSc weighting (i.e. combined BA and BSc) and certain named BA or BSc degrees. This means you would be exempt from having to study certain parts of the course.
