Foundation Course Certificate

This course has been developed as an instructional programme that prepares individuals to use guided visualization (trance) and psychotherapeutic techniques for the purpose of solving problems, developing motivation, and setting and achieving goals.  It teaches at a foundation level the application of hypno-psychotherapy therapy in health sciences and human services.  It prepares students for the Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy as taught in ICHP programmes. 

The Foundation Course is part-time and is made up of non-contact study (distance learning), contact training and practical skill development.  The total hours completed amount to between 500 and 600 depending on modules chosen.  Contact training and practicals account for some 200 hrs. 

Please note that the Foundation Certificate in Counselling will count 120 hrs towards this Certificate.

On successful completion of the Foundation certificate, or alternatively the granting of appropriate recognized prior learning, or part thereof, the student is eligible to apply for a place on the Hypnotherapy Diploma programme.
