What does the course cover?
​
The Diploma course is approximately 120 hours classroom training. You are also required to read in between sessions, practice with volunteers, complete "real life" case studies, answer open book assessment questions in your own time and create a business plan - crucial in learning your new skills and developing confidence. Total hours including classroom and "home" study is 450 hours. The case studies are absolutely crucial in learning your skills and developing your confidence. The Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy explores a range of approaches, including solution focused, psychodynamic and CBT approaches to hypnotherapy and also how to incorporate NLP and Mindfulness. This provides you with an integrated approach which means you can respond to the precise requirements of your clients without limiting yourself to a single mode of working. Learning hypnotherapy ‘skills’ is only a part of the Diploma. Just as important, and covered in detail on the course, is how to set up your business and start making a living as soon as you qualify. This course places a considerable emphasis on getting your business up and running and after-care is provided. ​There is an option to continue with Mark as your Supervisor. Many people emerge from their hypnotherapy training with some great skills but with no idea how to work confidently with clients or establish their business. Throughout the course, we explore how to set up a practice which reflects your values and which will allow you to earn a comfortable living. Your 1-2-1 with Mark Ward helps you create a vision for your business and determine the practical steps which are required to bring that vision to life.

​​"To anyone that is interested in progressing in Clinical Hypnotherapy, I would urge you to sign up to Mark's course. I was quite nervous having not studied for 30 years. Mark instantly put me at ease. His teaching style is a combination of taught theory, class interaction, demonstration and lots of practice. This multi-modal qualification is a fantastic way to be able to learn different skills and gives you a full toolbox of techniques to help any client. Mark has inspired me to use my qualification in my own business. I would highly recommend this course." (Clare)
"I would certainly recommend training with Mark. I thoroughly enjoyed studying this must-modal course. The groups are kept small which I found beneficial from a learning perspective and also engaging with other fellow students. Mark is really knowledgable and has a nurturing approach with his tuition, considering all different learning styles. The course is broken down into manageable modules and also equipped with a varied toolbox to enable anyone to work as a confident Clinical Hypnotherapist. " (Di)

“Just fantastic! What a course! I’m so pleased I chose Mark’s course. I was a previous client of Mark’s so knew what a brilliant hypnotherapist he was. I can now say that he is equally brilliant as a trainer. What sets Mark apart is he is a trainer and a therapist! He was able to put us at ease immediately and create a friendly and safe space to learn. He has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and showed us all the subtleties of what works best. Lots of fun too!!! “ (Rachel)
