Brilliant Course offered by a First Rate Company
I am now nearly at the end of the first year of Year 1 and am enjoying the course immensely, to the extent that I have now paid for Y2 and Y3. The Moodle system is easy to use, and virtual lecture for each module, the online notes, and the class notes are easy to follow and understand. As we only have one tutorial a month, I feel that the online notes could be more informative. They do have a habit of only just briefly describing an area, and it is not always easy to find backup material relating to the nature of the coursework for the particular month on the internet. I also feel that the list of essential reading and recommended reading books should be more extensive, offering a wide range of explanations and perspectives from a variety of different sources. I am currently enrolled in the course with South Central and my tutor (Linda) is pretty amazing. She has totally managed to change my outlook regarding what hypnosis entails and the various practices she uses during the class really do work. I do feel that, as the course is entitled Chrysalis Counselling and Hypnotherapy that more attention should be paid to the counseling side of things. During a 7-hour tutorial, and as each part is just as important as the other, a 50/50 split would be preferable. Despite a couple of niggles (mentioned above) and looking at the other courses regarding counseling and hypnotherapy, I believe Chrysalis to be one of the best on the market. It does provide you with the necessary background, information and relevant practice to become a professional practitioner at the end of the whole course, and it fits in brilliantly with concurrent working and family life commitments. I agree that some of the work and practice is time-consuming, but as tutorials are only once a month, if managed properly it is easy to fit everything in. I would recommend this course 100% to those individuals who have an interest in this area, or who may be looking to work for themselves in the future. From what I have experienced to date, and knowing the skills that I will be equipped with at the end of the 3-year course, all the hard work will be worth it in the end.
