When starting a new practice, or adding to your existing practice you want to feel
certain that what you have learned is both effective and reliable. If you are anything
like us, the greatest fear when you start is that we would sit in front of a client and not
know what to do. With what we teach, you should always have a reliable course of
action.

Some of our graduates now operate in places as far afield as Seattle Washington, Paris
France, Malaysia, Singapore and the U.K. Our qualification is widely accepted around
the world.

Our unique format of 4 day blocks (Friday-Monday) approximately once per month
allows you to get immersed in the material, and then practice it sufficiently to be competent
before advancing you further with the next installment. You will see that some
schools run intensives of maybe two blocks of seven days or one block of 11 days and
then nothing after that.

Our experience is that it is hard to absorb the material and become competent when
there is no time for experimentation and feedback over a period of time.

Government accreditation means that even in the face of increasing regulation, your
qualification will be recognised. If regulations come in as they have in counselling, then
non accredited and industry accredited qualifications will have to be upgraded. This
could cost you upwards of $6000.
There are many non government providers, but we are already seeing some Health
Funds limit their coverage of Hypnotherapy to Government Accredited trained members.

We have travelled far and wide and studied with the very best in this field in order to
piece together this Diploma. It is a blend of trainings we have undertaken at the Milton
H Erickson Foundation in Phoenix Arizona, the teachings of Michael Yapko, Jeffrey Zeig,
Bill O’Hanlon and Stephen Gilligan, as well as Richard Bandler and John Grinder, all of
them from the USA.

Gordon Young, the curator of the course material spent over $100,000 on his education
and has brought the world’s best to you here in the Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and
Strategic Psychotherapy (10450NAT)

This school is the only place you can learn Strategic Psychotherapy. Others might
claim to teach it, but it won’t appear on their competencies or their Diploma. We have
retrained people from other schools who either pulled out or completed and did not
feel competent to practice.
“Originally I trained with (ANOTHER SYDNEY SCHOOL) I met Gordon through a friend
and he generously invited me to sit in on his class for a day. Even though technically I was
already qualified, I stayed!!!! The difference in the quality of the training, the content and the
delivery was immediately obvious. I filled in a lot of experiential gaps I still had even after 18
months of training.”
It was practical, professional and fun. If I had my time over again I would not hesitate …I
would save my time and money and train with the Australian Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy.”
Mark Hutchens Clinical Hypnotherapist

There are no individual deadlines for your assessments. We don’t have deadlines
because we recognise that you might have busier and slower periods, and need the
freedom to organise yourself accordingly.
Instead we alert you to when we have covered off enough in class for you to complete
particular assessments.
The course duration overall is 40 weeks. If you need further time to complete, you can
apply for an extension of either three or six months.

No. VET-FEE HELP was cut for this entire sector in January 2017. We do however have
payment plan options that allow you to pay over an 18 months period. This means you
could be earning a living as a Clinical Hypnotherapist before you have finished paying
for your training.

Government accreditation future proofs your qualification.  Hypnotherapy like all professions is moving towards more regulation, sometimes pushed by the government themselves, and sometimes it is pushed by insurance companies and/or health funds.
We cannot say exactly when full regulation will come in, but when it does, practitioners with non accredited certifications will have to retrain again.

No. When it comes to this model everyone is pretty well starting from scratch. The only
prerequisites are that you have some basic computer skills, and a decent command of
English. We recognise that many people haven’t studied for some time. That is ok. We
have student support managers, instructive videos, and we are only an email or a call
away. Some of our students have been in their 80s. If it is doable for them…

There are 521 official members of the Australian Hypnotherapists Association (the key
professional body in the field) across the whole of Australia. There are over 25,000 Google
searches per month for Hypnotherapy, and over 60,000 per month for hypnotherapy
treatment of different conditions.

Most of our graduates start at $150 per hour. We have some graduates charging $330
per hour who graduated in 2013. If you choose to work just 20 hours per week you
could expect to earn between $100,00 and $120,000 per year if you market yourself
properly and do good work. We have one graduate who is earning in excess of
$300,000 per year. A video of how he did built his practice is in your training resources.

We give you a guarantee. If once you’ve had a taste you decide this is not for me, we
will refund you fully. Spend three days with us and decide. If after the third day you
WANT OUT, we will refund you fully.

We know many of you have demanding jobs. In many cases, this is why you are looking
for something else. We accommodate your need for flexibility, and make it as easy as
we can to complete without eroding the strength and reputation of the qualification.
(1) Course is self paced. NO ASSESSMENT DEADLINES. Complete in your own time. As a
general rule, if you put in 3-4 hours per week you would easily complete in the allocated
40 weeks.
(2) This is not a university degree. Most of the assessments are short answer ( maximum 20-50 words)
(3) Much of the referencing is Online or in the Online course material
(4) 16 days face to face + First Aid (1 day workshop) is across 4 Friday-Monday weekends
over 4-5 months. The breaks are the opportunity to practice and internalise the skills.

Establishing a hypnotherapy practice has relatively low barriers to entry financially. You
can do it yourself, but if you want to, we can do it all for you.
We can provide the Website, the Google Ads, the Facebook page and Ads, landing
pages for those Ads, the copyrighting and the ongoing monthly tracking and tweaking
of the advertising spend. We are with you every step pf the way.

To avoid confusion. Your tuition fees vary depending on the following:
1) Where you are based (we have travel discounts for regional areas)
2) Where you chose to train (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth)
3) What level of experience you have in the field. If you are already a psychologist,
counsellor, psychiatrist, social worker, doctor or nurse you may be eligible to do an
abridged course.
4) How you pay? Up front or with a payment plan.
