Eligibility for the programme

Applications are considered from those who are academic researchers or are members of recognised therapeutic and other recognised professions in which hypnosis has a legitimate application and who possess qualifications in medicine, dentistry or psychology, or other qualifications as deemed appropriate.  Applicant should be aware that the programme teaches hypnosis as an adjunctive procedure and is not ‘a hypnotherapy’ training. For example, if you are trained solely as a dentist, completion of a certificate or diploma programme will not enable you to treat conditions (e.g. IBS) that are not addressed in your dental training.

 

All applicants should possess a first degree and have professional liability insurance against litigation concerning their clinical work. As a condition of acceptance onto the programme all students must agree to abide by the Ethical Guidelines (see later).
