FAQ - Hypnotherapy School
FAQ – Hypnotherapy School: This Hypnosis Certification Course blends theory with practical applications, to give students a sound foundation of knowledge on which to build their skills. The course is Certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists, the oldest hypnosis organization (established 1951) in the world. A growing number of members also have academic qualifications in fields such as doctors, surgeons, medicine, nursing, dentistry, psychology and counseling.
The weekly and fast-track course takes place in the province of British Columbia as well as other Canadian provinces. Additionally, the course is offered in Europe and internationally. For those who find it challenging to take time off work during the week, we also provide this course over five weekends, including Saturdays and Sundays, with one additional Saturday workday to accommodate students with tight schedules.
