Uninspired Midway Through Year 2 of 3
I'm in Year 2 of their 3 year Hypnotherapy and Counseling course. I've done year 2 in other places. Year 1 I will give 4 stars. Year 2 is looking like 2\3 stars. - bumped down to 2 stars - 29/04/2025. In Summary Year 1 whilst not perfect (mostly due to being back heavy), is more real and properly prepares you to be a hypnotherapist. Year 2 is purely academic and good at that, but does not prepare you for counseling. Across both years, Moodle continues to be informative but absolute trash to find things on. The tutors are friendly and knowledgeable, so these are all curriculum problem. The very good: - hypnotherapy year really prepares you and you (eventually) get a certificate - Hypnotherapy year actually has you doing hypnotherapy on classmates - 2 variations a year are really helpful on a practical level - Tutors in both years are proper professionals who can share alot of experience - Accreditation - Contracting and ethics have been covered in alot of detail in both years which is very useful - Workload is reasonable The good - Rooms are better organised this year (I sort of expect this though) - Plenty of handouts and material if you can find it The Bad - I hope you're prepared to wait up to 1\2 a year for your certificate - Skills practice can be confusing what is expected, they're pretty vague - Moodle is poorly organised The Ugly - Year 2 has alot of exercises which are purely academic. I'm almost half way through the year and I've not been told listen to anyone's real problems or even imagined problems. It's all just fake. - Skills practice exercises don't prepare you for dealing with people's emotions in the real world
