Learning hypnosis can be daunting when you first start out. Most people starting out on things like hypnosis worry about whether they are “doing it right”. The thing to remember with this is that there is a wide variety of ways to do hypnosis, so you probably are doing it correctly.

Once you’ve been through a few courses on the internet and read a few books, your thoughts may turn to becoming a qualified hypnotherapist. Traditionally, you would have attended a course in a nearby town or city. You’d have gone for a weekend or two. Or maybe some evening classes. This is a good way to get a hypnosis diploma but it has the major disadvantage of having to fit around someone else’s schedule.

Nowadays, we’re used to everything fitting around our schedule – TIVO for television programs, internet videos, etc. Which is where an online hypnotherapy course comes into its own.

With an online course, you can fit your hypnosis training around everything else you do.

The hypnosis course modules are available for download or online viewing at your convenience. Another advantage with this approach is that you can go back over the modules if there’s something you didn’t understand first time round. A regular live course may well allow you to ask questions (although not too many, otherwise you’ll end up bugging everyone else) but that’s not the same as being able to re-read or re-play a section that doesn’t click first time. And, let’s face it, there are always occasions like that – often followed by ones where we’re asking ourselves how we could possibly have been confused by something so simple. The joys of hindsight!

As well as fitting around the other things that are happening in our lives, an online hypnotherapy course will allow you to have access to hypnosis experts throughout the duration of your course. Which is a lot different from being able to ask a few questions on the day of a live function. These questions can normally be asked by email and, depending on the structure of the course, by phone or instant messenger. The exact method will vary by course provider and sometimes even according to the section of the course you’re studying.

By their very nature, most live courses have relatively few participants, usually measured in tens although occasionally some of the bigger hypnosis seminars may have a few hundred people attending. With that quantity of people, you can almost guarantee that you won’t get individual attention from the person running the course. Whereas with an online diploma, you’re guaranteed to get individual feedback for all your questions.

There is also a safety in numbers aspect with online hypnosis courses. With the number of people who have been through the course over the years, the organisers will have a very good idea of the places that most people get stuck. This allows them to either adjust the course syllabus or produce extra support material that helps those participants who would otherwise stumble in certain places.

When you’ve completed your online hypnosis course, you’ll be examined and given a certificate providing you reach a certain score on the exam. If you’re worried about this aspect you should be aware that, much the same as universities, the online course examiners allow you to re-sit the hypnosis exam in the unlikely event that you don’t achieve a high enough pass mark first time round.

Once you’re qualified, you’re free to use your newly developed hypnosis skills to help other people with their problems. Which is a rewarding achievement in itself.
