Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
Training Courses

I am often asked to recommend hypnotherapy training courses to people. Courses that can start them off on what, for many, will turn into a very satisfying and endlessly interesting career choice.

There are literally hundreds of hypnotherapy courses advertised and of course I can not claim to know them all by any means. However, a word of caution. I have seen (mainly advertised on the web) some very unsavory hypnotherapy courses being offered. Be warned, do not part with your hard earned money until you know what you are getting!

Let's get another thing clear. Despite what you may read, a weekend course in Hypnosis is not going to equip you to start a successful career. However, you do have to start somewhere and so I have selected for you two dependable offerings from the hypnotherapy courses available that can take you from the basics to advanced in your own good time.

Selection Criteria

There were several criteria that the training selections I provide here had to meet. They were;

• The training has to be taught by a professional, ethical and successful hypnotherapist,
• The courses and materials must be of proven value,
• The instructor must provide continuing support to the student after the course is over,
4.There must be free access to materials before you invest so that you can make your own personal assessment without risk.

Cal Banyan – Free Videos

I have personally attended advanced hypnosis training with Cal so can vouch for his teaching skills and knowledge. Further, Cal provides free access to a lot of training videos (over 140 last time I checked)through his blog so you can get to know him yourself.

Rene Bastarache – Free Manual

Rene's courses meet the same criteria as Cal's. He is also very flexible in providing training for individuals and groups. However what I particularly like about Rene's School is that they offer a free 446 page Clinical Hypnosis Manual and home study courses.

The manual is freely available to anyone with no catches or fine print! It is an excellent starting point for someone who is starting out. It also contains some excellent advice for those who have already taken basic training.

The home study courses also offer an excellent alternative for those who are unable, can not afford or do not wish at this stage to travel for their training.
