Hypnosis Training Courses and Options

Hypnosis training is available to the general population as well as professionals, and is a very important and effective adjunct to any therapeutic specialty.  Unfortunately, hypnosis training is offered by a whole host of hypnotists and it can be very difficult to sort the good from the bad from the indifferent.

Training is offered in many ways. Many instructors teach classes, hold live hypnosis training seminars, and conduct online courses. You can also order written hypnosis courses, videos, and CD's. You'll find a range of these in our store.

So how do you find a good hypnosis course? Well, it really depends on your goals. If you are just learning hypnosis to do self-hypnosis or learning out of curiosity, a whole host of options is available to you. Check out or store pages to view some of the available courses. If you plan on learning hypnosis



to provide a therapeutic service for others, your education options are more limited. There are certification courses and varying levels of certification. Some require as much as 200 hours of education in order to recevie a certificate.

Another unfortunate effect of not being regulated is that some of the hypnosis courses you find are run by people with little experience. In college, I got certified as a hypnotyherapist in a live weekend workshop! This means that anyone can open a hypnosis school and call themselves a hypnosis instructor even with minimal or no hypnosis training.

A good option for professional training and certifcation is to call local hypnotists in your area and ask who they would recommend for either live or home-study training. Regardless of which option you select, read all information about the program carefully before you register or purchase.
