Several of our Triangle Hypnotists are certified trainers with the National Guild of Hypnotists, the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, or both. The basic hypnotist certification course is a 100-hour program. Typically this consists of 75-80 hours in-person hours, and 15-20 hours of homework and pre-course prep. Some courses include supervised work with real clients. Since the pandemic has changed the way we practice, training has also moved online. See individual websites for program information.
