Entry Requirements

The Post-graduate Diploma in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and NLP is taught by The British Hypnosis Research and Training Association and is accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council of Great Britain with the online component also accredited as an ADVANCED LEVEL TRAINING – one of only two courses currently accredited at this level in the UK.

This is a Postgraduate level training and the course is open to Doctors, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists, Nurses, Social Workers, Dentists, Counsellors, Therapists and other members of the caring professions wishing to train as Hypnotherapists or use hypnosis in their work. Applications are also considered from applicants without formal entry requirements if they have appropriate work experience or motivation. A number of places are made available for such applicants.

If you are involved in any kind of work where effective communication is essential you will find our training courses stimulating. Many students study with us as part of their own personal development and course graduates to date come from a broad cross section of career backgrounds. Notable BHRTA graduates currently include many of the most respected authors and teachers of hypnotherapy and NLP.

If you are considering setting up in private practice and becoming a practicing Hypnotherapist or NLP Practitioner, our course offers you the most comprehensive and practical training for responsible hypnotherapy currently available today. The Association also provides additional one-to-one business mentoring and marketing training designed specifically for graduates wishing to establish a private hypnotherapy practice upon graduation. You will find that the combination of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy with NLP is persuasive and successful in achieving outcomes in patients and allows you to reach new goals in your area of expertise.
