Hypnotherapy Train the Trainer Course
Have you ever dreamed about establishing a hypnotherapy training school?
When you love being a hypnotherapist as much as most of us do, the natural next step is to want to share our knowledge. You might think that becoming a trainer isn't something that you can do. Past students have questioned whether they need a teaching or lecturing background and the practicalities of putting together an accredited diploma in hypnotherapy often stops potential trainers from going any further.​
I understand these concerns. Although I'd previously been an academic, which meant I knew how to research, write and deliver courses, it took me over a year to create the course materials (and many years of refinement after that!).
My train-the-trainer course provides you with absolutely everything you need to establish your hypnotherapy training school in as little as a few months. And you'll receive all the support you need in doing so - from individual help with marketing, to support through the accreditation process, to external marking for exams and assistance with your students.

"The Train the Trainer training with Claire was fantastic. The course very comprehensive and gave the total framework that I needed but also allowed me to use my own experience, creativity and style to teach it.
Claire is a brilliant trainer. Her style is very professional yet very warm and supportive. The post course on-going support and guidance has been great too.
There were really only a small handful of people that I trusted to deliver what I needed and Claire was one of them so when I saw her training I jumped at the chance!
Since the course I have established my training academy and am training a group of 6 face to face and also a trainee 121. I am thoroughly enjoying it and so are they!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire’s course. Brilliant!" Mark Ward, New Beginnings Hypnotherapy Academy
2 Year's Experience
You'll need to have 2 years (or approaching the 2 year mark) experience as a hypnotherapist to offer a GHR accredited course. Some organisations, such as the NCH, require you to have been practicing for at least 3 years.
Financial & Time Commitment
Setting up your own hypnotherapy training school is an exciting step! Whilst teaching tends to mean you're spending far less time with 1-2-1 clients, it's important to make sure you have the time to run your course and commit financially to your training and course start up.
Registration with GHR/ NCH
In order to offer an approved course, you'll have to register with your chosen professional body, such as the GHR/ NCH. If you're not already registered, but have been practicing for 2 years, you may be able to post-register (please get in touch for details).
A Supportive Nature
Hypnotherapy training is about so much more than teaching a subject. Students learn so much about themselves, boundaries, professionalism, empathy & so much more on a hypnotherapy course. You're there to guide, support and demonstrate professional and empathic values as you teach.
English Language Skills
In order to teach effectively, it's important that you have a good grasp of the English language and can communicate clearly in writing and verbally with your students.
A Love of Hypnotherapy!
The fact that you're reading this probably suggests that you love hypnotherapy as much as I do! It's a fascinating subject and one where you never stop learning. If you're passionate about hypnotherapy & want to share your knowledge, that's your best starting point.

Q & A
Q: Is this a franchise?
A: No. You are in charge of your own business, including choosing your school's name and establishing your own business strategy. You are not legally linked to Academy of the Inner Mind in any way and can shape your vision according to your interests and strengths. In order to avoid confusion, you will be asked to choose an alternative name to Academy of the Inner Mind. However, you will be able to market your school as affiliated to AIM and with course materials developed by Dr. Claire Jack, if you wish.
​
Q: Am I guaranteed to get accreditation?
A: The materials and teaching strategy meets the National Occupational Standards for hypnotherapy and meets accreditation requirements for the GHR, NCH and (in the case of in-person courses) CNHC. It is your responsibility to ensure you are a member of the correct professional body and have been practicing for two years (GHR) or three years (NCH). Your full needs will be discussed when you contact Claire for details.
​
Q: What happens to mentoring, support and assignment marking after the first year?
A: After the first year, if you wish to maintain the benefits of affiliation, including support in the case of disputes, external assignment marking and listing on AIM website with associated advertising, you are required to pay a small fee of 5% per student. If you would prefer, at this stage, to operate independently of AIM, you are welcome to do so and can continue to use all course materials free of copyright requirements.
​
Q: Can I change the course materials as much as I want to?
A: You will have your own interests and passions when it comes to hypnotherapy and, as long as you meet core curriculum requirements, you can adapt the materials to reflect your particular areas of interest.
