Training Courses with ICHP Australia

    Foundation Course Certificate

    This course has been developed as an instructional programme that prepares individuals to use guided visualization (trance) and evidence-based 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, Advanced Diploma and Degree 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 relevant to Hypnotherapy 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.

    During the Supervised practical sessions you will be assessed to ensure competency 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.
