Inside the training room

The in-class days are practical. Students practise inductions on each other under supervision, and competency is assessed live in the room. Classes are deliberately limited in size.

Where do you start?

Start at the beginning

No background required

The training assumes nothing. Many students arrive with no experience in therapy at all, and you can begin with distance learning before committing to the in-class days.

Our approach

You’ll leave being able to induce and use hypnosis safely and effectively.

In class and online

Eight days, hands-on and experiential

The in-class training is where you actually learn to induce hypnosis. You practise on other students under supervision, and no knowledge is withheld in order to upsell you into another training.

01 Days one to four are Advanced Hypnosis training conducted by Rick Collingwood.
02 Day five is Advanced Mind Dynamics Training with Rick Collingwood. Michael Nadalin delivers a separate session on self-hypnosis, hypnosis for achievement, and marketing your hypnosis practice.
03 Days six to eight are Advanced Mesmerism and Magnetism training.
04 In-class students gain automatic access to the resource centre and the materials in both the Hypnosis and Mesmerism portals, and can repeat any future training at a very low cost.
