The Academy of Clinical & Medical Hypnosis provides high quality hypnotherapy training without mystique often surrounding the practice of hypnotherapy and NLP. Course venues include London, Sheffield, Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Chesterfield, Swindon, Warrington, Watford and Cork in the Republic of Ireland.
The 'fast track' course is aimed at students with existing healthcare background and medical/psychological and psychotherapeutic qualifications and provides a quick and effective way to add hypnotherapy and related techniques to an existing practice.
Our commitment to our students extends to providing continuing professional development (CPD) courses throught out the year covering additional topics such as Depressive Disorders, Anxiety, Smoking Cessation, Working with IBS etc etc. For more details see our Hypnotherapy CPD course list.
In addition to the fast track hypnotherapy training course the Academy runs a number of comprehensive twenty-day courses at centres in London, Sheffield, Warrington, Chesterfield and a number of other locations around the UK and Ireland.
All four courses are externally recognised and the HPD is an externally validated course worth 45 points at undergraduate level in the Open University. There's more information on our Hypnotherapy Training website.
