Go to a college instead!
I was locked into a contract for 3 years without realising that I could have done the course elsewhere in 2 years (eg: college). I have friends who did better training at college in just 2 years and are set up in private practice. This is because in most other courses you do a placement as part of Level 4 (year 2), while at Chrysalis it's in year 3. This means I can't practice for another year. The first year is basically unnecessary and I believe that's how they drag out a 2-year course. into 3 years. The first year is a major hypnotherapy focus - most people don't really want to know about hypnotherapy in that sort of depth, but we have to go there with Chrysalis in order to progress to year 2. I would not recommend this course. Their admin in not good and some aspects are confusing. When looking for a placement I was told more than once that organisations don't like taking Chrysalis students as the course is a 'light touch'... they prefer college students. This was incredibly disappointing to hear.
