Assignments

The written assignments comprise brief answers to a number of questions which are designed to establish your competency in the theory included in the Course Manuals. They are fully covered in your manuals and the answers can be completed at home in your own time. A 75% (or higher) grade is required for a pass. It is possible to re-sit with a different Exam paper.

During the Supervised practical sessions you will be assessed to ensure competency and establish quality in application of the hypnotic techniques taught. This assessment will not be a formal examination but rather an on-going assessment. There is a requirement for an attendance of a minimum of 40 hours of practical Clinical Hypnotherapy classes (one 5 day intensive) if you plan to go on to the later Diploma even if you have prior qualifications such as Counselling. Attendance at additional practical classes is entirely at the student’s discretion but is highly recommended and does not incur additional fees.
