What you will be able to do

  • Take consent a client could later recognise
  • Run observed sessions that can fail
  • Keep a supervised case log the marker can audit
  • State that this pass is not CNHC eligibility and not education-provider training
  • Name applications with a literature and refuse the rest
  • Refer when the presentation is clinical

Who this is for

  • Skills-programme graduates who wanted more observed hours without a fake register stamp
  • Career changers who will still start from CNHC if the register is the buying criterion
  • Practitioners willing to be watched across a case, not a single script
  • Anyone who wanted the honest longer product this market usually relabels as CNHC

Who this is not for

  • Anyone who needed CNHC-register-eligible training from an approved education provider
  • Anyone planning to treat trauma, psychosis or eating disorders with hypnosis
  • Anyone unwilling to be observed or to keep a case log

What you need before you start

  • Willingness to work in pairs and with practice clients we help you find
  • Hypnotherapy Practitioner Skills is useful but not required

How you are assessed

Observed sessions, a supervised case log, and a written safety-and-evidence case, marked by Oliver Grant. Written feedback with one free resubmission. A pass is longer assessed practice than the skills programme. It is not eligibility to apply to CNHC. Work that claims otherwise does not pass.

Our accreditation applications are in progress. We do not display an accreditation mark before it is granted — see the current status.

After you pass

  • Consent and case-log templates
  • Certificate wording that names CNHC as a separate route
  • Signposting to CNHC eligibility and verifying organisations

What is the hypnotherapy register pathway programme?

A longer live cohort than our skills programme, with observed sessions and a supervised case log that can fail. It maps CNHC's published education rules so you can see what we are not. It is not CNHC eligibility. The Guild is not an education provider for that register, and the certificate will not print that we are.

Does this programme make you eligible for CNHC registration?

No. CNHC requires education and training that meets its core curriculum and National Occupational Standards. Courses delivered entirely by distance learning do not meet those requirements. Eligibility is verified through CNHC's published routes, not by a Guild certificate that borrowed the word practitioner.

Sources

How is this different from Hypnotherapy Practitioner Skills?

Skills is ten weeks of observed practice and a hard stop at the register. This pathway is sixteen weeks with a case log and core-curriculum literacy. Both refuse CNHC education-provider status. Choose skills if you needed someone to watch a session. Choose this if you wanted a longer log without a fake eligibility stamp.

Can you legally practise hypnotherapy without CNHC registration?

Yes. The title is unprotected. Insurers, directories and informed clients still ask about a PSA-accredited register. Legal freedom is not the same as a checkable quality signal. This programme will not pretend a longer Guild pass is that signal. If you need the register, start from CNHC and work backwards to an eligible school.

Common questions

Why not wait until you are a CNHC education provider?

Because specialists can review a longer observed product now, and we would rather print the limit than fake eligibility.

Does live-online count as distance learning?

CNHC's eligibility page is the source. We will not invent a ruling that lets us claim eligibility we have not been granted.

I already passed the skills programme — do I need this?

Only if you wanted the longer case log and the register map. It still will not put you on CNHC.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Interest-free plans total exactly £499.
