Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training; fully accredited courses at all levels

Foundation Level hypnotherapy training is held in York and Wakefield. It offers 200 hours study made up of 52 classroom hours (8 days) and some independent study over approximately four months. For more about what this means, and the study formats available, click here.

The Foundation course, although fully accredited in its own right, also forms the first four modules of Practitioner level training. It can be used in a variety of ways...

• As a standalone course, it is a comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to hypnosis and hypnotherapy for those who wish develop their knowledge, but not to practice as hypnotherapists.
• It gives you real skills which can be used within an established career in counselling, coaching, complementary therapies or the caring professions. 
• It provides a time- and cost-effective way to begin further training; because Foundation and Practitioner level students study together, it is really easy to upgrade your Foundation level training at any time if you choose to do so.

When you successfully complete the four Foundation modules, you will be awarded the YHT Certificate of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy.
