We will read it. We will not fake it. Topics: Core curriculum literacy; Distance-learning rule; What this pass will say; Who should leave now 2. **Consent and stopping, again** — The skills that weekend diplomas skip because they take time. Topics: Informed consent; Abreactions; When to stop; Recorded practice 3. **A working model without magic** — Suggestion, attention and the claims we still will not make. Topics: Evidence versus brochure; Memory work and leading; What you will not install; Language 4. **Observed induction and deepening** — Technique under a marker, not a script pack. Topics: Inductions; Deepening; Emerging; Marked session 5. **Applications with a literature** — IBS and some pain work have a literature. Rewrite-your-life does not. Topics: What you may offer; What you must refuse; NICE-adjacent honesty; Cases 6. **The case log** — Hours, supervision and the audit trail a verifying organisation would actually want. Topics: What to record; Supervisor criteria; Hours we will not invent; Failing a thin log 7. **CNHC core curriculum as a map** — Guided learning, total hours and duration — read from the source, not from our brochure. Topics: Eligibility page; Verifying organisations; Why we still cannot sign you off; APEL is not us 8. **Clinical presentations you will not treat** — Trauma, psychosis and eating disorders are not a hypnosis upsell. Topics: Referral; Safeguarding; The skills sister programme; Ethics case 9. **Online delivery and the distance-learning rule** — CNHC says courses delivered entirely by distance learning do not meet requirements. Topics: What live-online is; What entirely distance is; Why a PDF fails the test; Honesty on our certificate 10. **Insurance, notes and UK GDPR** — Health-adjacent records are still personal data. Topics: Indemnity; Retention; Subject access; Tools 11. **Directories and advertising** — Practitioner is unprotected. CNHC-registered is a checkable claim. Do not mix them. Topics: Bios that fail; PSA-accredited register language; What the certificate will say; Marked copy 12. **Working alongside clinicians** — The relationship that makes complementary work safe. Topics: What to send; What not to undo; Shared clients; Language 13. **If the destination is CNHC this year** — How to leave us and buy an eligible school without wasting the hours you did. Topics: Reading provider claims; Total cost including membership; What our log is worth to them — ask them; We will not guess 14. **Combining with coaching** — Two unregulated titles, two scopes, two insurance questions. Topics: Contracts; When coaching is the better product; When to stop mixing; Practice 15. **Group and workplace uses** — Habits and stress groups without clinical theatre. Topics: Consent in groups; When MH or counselling owns the work; Workplace first contact is a different Guild product; Limits 16. **Assessment clinic** — Live review of sessions, logs and evidence cases against the rubric. Topics: Common fails; Register passing-off; Resubmission; The limit on the paper ## Assessment 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. ## Upcoming cohorts - 2027-02-04 to 2027-05-20 — Thursdays 18:30–20:30 UK, 16 weeks (open, cap 16) - 2027-09-09 to 2027-12-17 — Thursdays 18:30–20:30 UK, 16 weeks (open, cap 16) ## 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.

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. --- Source: https://thestudyguild.com/programmes/hypnotherapy-register-pathway · The Study Guild
