What kind of certification do I get? What does it enable me to do?
After our Core Training, you become a Certified Hypnotherapist. At this time, hypnotherapy is a certified, not a licensed profession. You can practice and earn your living, if you like, as a Certified Hypnotherapist. After fifty more hours, you become an Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist. Although hypnotherapists are not licensed, hypnotherapy schools are licensed and strictly regulated by the state of California.

You become internationally certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists.

What is the difference between the intensive and extended programs?
The intensive program takes place on six consecutive days in one month and six consecutive days in the next month. The regular program is held on weekends. Many people who come from out of town like to take our intensive, as this gives them the opportunity to complete the course with a minimum of return visits. Even some people from within the area find that the intensive suits their needs better than a weekend training.

One of the advantages of a weekend program is that there is time during the week to practice between classes. Many people like the weekend training because it gives them time to absorb the material.

Is there any legislation that will affect me?
New legislation has been passed in California requiring that a disclosure statement be given to each client. We supply you with text for these statements. Alternative Health Practitioners are now totally legal in the state of California when they use the disclosure statements.
