The following is a course outline of the National Guild of Hypnotists Approved Certification Training as provided by The Hypnosis Centre under licence from The Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training and Services Inc.

Total hours for this course are a minimum of 100 hours over 10 days. Class time will consist of lecture and supervised practical work, which will constitute up to 80 hours of the course. Assignments (practice and preparation) outside of class will make up 20 hours of the training. Home assignments will be reviewed during class.

The course is made up of two sections: Level I, which consists of Professional Application of Hypnosis, and Level II, consists of Professional Application of Hypnotherapy, Self-Hypnosis and Setting Up Your Practice.

 The course outline is not always followed exactly. Because of the instructor-student interaction, we move through some part of the material faster or slower depending on the needs of the particular class. For example, the class may have more questions about one subject area, and when this occurs, more time will be given to that area, while other areas may not need additional attention and we will then move more quickly through that subject area. It is our experience that each class has its own interests and when possible, the instructor will structure the class to best meet the needs of the class as a whole.
