Rationale
The National College courses are structured in accordance with
the needs of two groups of people. These are:-
 |
People who wish to embark on a new career in adult
hypno-psychotherapy, and require a recognised training to assist
them to achieve their goal. |
|
People who, although not wishing to enter practice, may wish to
pursue their serious interest in
the subject within the context of a recognised training
programme. |
Two further considerations have influenced the structure of the
training:
|
The Academic Board is aware that many applicants, although
having an interest in hypno-psychotherapy, have little experience
in its use. |
|
Many applicants, although being able to meet the educational
standards required to gain enrolment, may not have had the
opportunity for many years to engage in serious study, and they
will require a gradual reintroduction to a learning
environment. |
With these points in mind, the National College courses commence
with practical instruction, the academic content of the course
being introduced gradually. Therefore, once having gained
enrolment, if a student is prepared to follow the training and
instruction provided, then he or she will experience little or no
difficulty.
In addition, students and/or
prospective students may be referred to an appropriate course in
Psychology to preface, supplement or complement their regular
National College training.
Personal development is not
central to National College training, though it forms an important
corollary, with self therapy being a compulsory component for UKCP
Registration.
The National College's course
tutors act as trainers, rather than as therapists (whilst all are,
of course, qualified as such). The training schedule does not allow
for course time to be taken up with individual therapy. In the
event that personal issues arise during training (including
reluctance to participate in course practical work) which require
therapeutic intervention, the course tutor will refer the
individual concerned to the National College so that a competent
therapist can be recommended. Where necessary, and as advised by
the course tutor, training may be interrupted until such time as
the therapist selected recommends resumption.
We hope that this policy is seen
as demonstrating a proper concern for the individual, balanced by
our contractual commitment to deliver courses of training as
defined in our Prospectus.
