Welcome to the Training and Accreditation section of the web site.

I hope this section will give you the necessary information on the nationally accredited Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). This qualification is awarded through the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the NCFE National Awarding Body.

The Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) is a qualification instigated in June 2002 and accredited jointly by the NCH and NCFE. The HPD was the first; open to all, nationally accredited Diploma in Hypnotherapy.

Both the NCFE and the NCH bring you this jointly accredited credential in the interests of consolidating hypnotherapy training into an externally verified qualification. The Learning Outcomes for the HPD are in line with the National Occupational Standards for Hypnotherapy.

The HPD can be gained in two ways:

1) via a NCH Accredited Training School

2) the Individual Portfolio Route, for experienced and qualified therapists

The ‘Individual Portfolio’ route that has been specifically designed for qualified and experienced hypnotherapists or those people who become ‘Trainee Members’ of the NCH. The details of this route are explained here. The cost of taking this route is just £50 if you do not require tutor support or £100 if you do think you may a little guidance from a
NCH ‘remote’ tutor.

If you wish to apply for the professional discussion route/viva at £150, click here for more information.
