Hypnotherapy Course Dates

The ICH normally holds two Hypnosis Foundation Courses per year, usually starting in late February/early March and late September/early October.

The next London course starts on 29th September 2012.

We are also pleased to announce a new Foundation Course starting in Poole, Dorset also starting on 22nd September 2012.

**STOP PRESS**  Due to demand, the ICH is pleased to announce that a week-long Intensive Foundation Course will be held on 15^th - 19^th October 2012 inclusive (London venue to be confirmed).  The cost of the course will be the same as the weekend Foundation Course (£720) and students who attend this course can join the next ICH Professional Course which is due to start on 24^th November 2012. 

The Professional Hypnosis Course dates follow on from there.

If you have any queries regarding the course dates, please contact the ICH.

Dates in light grey have now passed but are retained here for the benefit of students currently training with us.

Course Fees
The course fees, which are inclusive of VAT, cover all tuition, course documentation, professional indemnity insurance (whilst under ICH tutelage, providing that you are not charging for your services).  From 1st January 2011 the course fees are as follows:

For the convenience of students, the payment of tuition fees is staggered, with the amounts becoming due as follows:

Each training day starts promptly at 10am and finishes by 5pm. Lecturers are usually available from 9.30am for informal consultations and advice and you are, in any event, encouraged to arrive in good time so that lectures can begin on schedule.

There are two short breaks during the day of approximately 30 minutes each and lunch is normally taken between 1.00 - 2.15pm. However, these timings are at the discretion of the individual lecturer on each training weekend.

Cancellations will be accepted, and registration deposits refunded, up to 21 days prior to the start of the course for which you have enrolled. Alternatively, deposits can be carried forward to a future course, if you wish.

Once you have commenced training with the ICH, you will become liable for the instalment amounts, as set out above and these payments must be made on the date requested by the ICH. Any other payment arrangement will be by negotiation with the ICH.

If you decide to withdraw from a course (for whatever reason) after you have paid one or more of the instalments but before you have completed the course, you will not be entitled to a refund of the fees already paid. For example, if you were to withdraw from the Professional Course before Weekend Four (having already paid £1,370), you would not be entitled to a refund of these monies but you would not be required to pay the remaining £600. You would normally be permitted to rejoin another Professional Course at a later date but this is subject to discussion with the ICH. Our experience is that it is unusual for students to withdraw from courses once they have commenced their training. However, our refund policy is stated here for the sake of clarity.

Financial Help for Students
The ICH is a registered Learning Provider with the Young People's Learning Agency.  As such, certain students may qualify for a Professional and Career Development Loan - a commercial bank loan designed to help learners pay for learning that leads to work.

Professional and Career Development Loans are commercial bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning.  You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The Government will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards.  You will then need to start repaying the loan as you would any other commercial loans product.  The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries.

As the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, you should make sure you have investigated all the funding options that may be open to you to ensure you take an informed decision about whether the Loan is right for you.  For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Next Step on 0800 100 900.  Our learning provider registration number is:  5758


Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
CPD modules are normally only open to graduates of the ICH but if you wish to apply for a course and you are not an ICH graduate, please contact the ICH to discuss the skills and experience you have already obtained elsewhere.

By attending ICH CPD modules, you can study (and therefore accrue credit) for the additional ICH qualifications of the DHP (Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy) and the MCH (Master Clinical Hypnotherapist).

We are delighted to introduce three new CPD modules to the 2012 schedule:  "Ego State Therapy" with Bernadette Jaye, "Existentialism and Mental Toughness" with Phil Pearl and "Children and Hypnosis" with Marilyn Bowman.

Additionally, due to popular demand, Kim Robinson will also be bringing back his much enjoyed "Hypnosis and Entertainment" course.

Cancellation/Refund policy
Cancellations will be accepted, and registration deposits refunded, up to 21 days prior to the start of the module for which you have enrolled. Alternatively, deposits can be carried forward to a future modules, if you wish. If you decide to withdraw from a module (for whatever reason) after you have paid one or more of the instalments but before you have completed the module, you will not be entitled to a refund of the fees already paid. Our experience is that it is unusual for individuals to withdraw from a module. However, our refund policy is stated here for the sake of clarity.
