selecting a hypnotherapy course?
i am interested in learning hypnotherapy the courses here in Oz are very expensive ..........soooo i thought i would ask for those that have studied hypnotherapy.......
could you suggest what to look for in a course ?
any important questions i should be asking the trainers when choosing a course?
also for those who have studied did you attend classes or was it online?
how much experience should the people teaching the course have?

Good questions. Here's what I'd ask:
1. "What do you think of NLP?" Being somewhat trained in NLP is a good thing.
2. "I have problem X, how would you go about fixing that?" Anyone who doesn't talk about finding out a lot more about you and your problem should be avoided.
3. "Can you hypnotise me right here right now?" Kinda obvious, might not feel appropriate and if it's over the phone, "Probably not" is an acceptable answer.

Online training is not even worth the time.

The more the better although people like about this sort of thing and they might not have have become much better hypnotherapists over time.
For what it's worth, I've been a hypnotherapist since 1996.

There is a good hypnotherapist called Sydney Hypnotherapy and self hypnosis centre. It is located in Macquarie Street, Sydney or at her home address in Pennant Hills. Courses are available. She has had many years experience. Do not take my word that she is good, ask her questions if you are interested. You can do a google search and find out all about her. There is a lot of information about what she does. She charges $180 for one hour. There are other times and prices. The first session is free.

If you were in the UK, I would say - check the professional register

I suggest you do the same in Oz.

Make sure to avoid all those 1-day or 1-week courses. And as norseman says check the professional register...

Hi,
As a trainer, these are the things I look out for when selecting courses to take
When considering a trainer, get a sense of them as a person and change worker first and foremost. We tend to take on some of the traits of our mentors and teachers so choose wisely.
Next, consider their professional experience, are they seeing clients, are they a trainer from a professional organization, etc. Have they been trained to be a trainer and will taking their course result in a certification in said organization. What are others saying about their course?
In terms of the training, length is no indication of value. I have seen week long courses that are more on point and solid than year long courses. The important thing regardless of length is to recognize that this is only the first step in a life long process of learning. Keep educating yourself and nothing will take the place of practice.
So ask if the training is hands on and if there will be opportunities to practice. I also would invest my time or money on courses that rely on scripts. Also I would recommend staying away from online courses. They tend to give knowledge but don't help you develop instinct.
Cheers,
K-P
