HMI College of Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy Certification?

The most common question we hear is “Does your training make me a Certified Hypnotherapist?” It can be confusing to prospective students because every school claims to make you a “Certified Hypnotherapist,” most in time frames from one week to 60 days. In addition, there are six or more “Certification Agencies,” all representing themselves as “The One” you need to be “recognized.”

Most have official-sounding names that sound like government or international agencies. Those official-sounding names, however, are nothing more than businesses selling “Certifications.” None are government agencies, required for you to practice hypnotherapy, or play any role in your legal right to call yourself a “Hypnotherapist.”

How would you feel if you went to a Hypnotherapist and later discovered they only completed one week of training? How about two weeks? How about 60 days? There are no other helping professions including Nurses, Massage Therapists, Doctors, Dentists, Dental Assistants, etc., that allow you to graduate from an unaccredited school or be trained in a two-month crash course.

None of those professions would allow you to offer your services to the public after attending a school that only had one or two Instructors, or a school that traveled state-to-state offering 10-day trainings in hotel rooms. HMI recommends that you use the same standards for choosing your hypnotherapy education as you would for any other healthcare career.
