TRAINING to be a HYPNO-PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Training with the National College may be undertaken on a
part-time basis by combining weekend attendance for practical
tuition and lectures at one of the tuition venues, together with a
programme of home study, the ideal method for students with
domestic and/or work commitments.
Each weekend consists of some eleven hours of practical
instruction in the application of therapeutic techniques, combined
with lectures on the various theories involved. Starting at 10.00am
each day and finishing at 5pm, gives approximately 210 hours of
class contact for the whole three stages of the training up to
Diploma level.
The total number of study hours required to complete the course
varies depending on what prior knowledge a student brings to the
course. However, monitoring of past students' study patterns
suggests that for a student with little prior knowledge of
hypnosis, psychotherapy or psychology, total study hours up to UKCP
registration level may amount to 1,600 hours over a four year
period. This total includes class contact and supported self-study,
but does not include the time spent on written examinations,
supervision or self-therapy.
