This is a great course covering a wide range of topics, it also goes into a lot of detail. The set up is good as you learn theory in a classroom, and practice in a separate therapy room. There is a lot to learn and a lot to take in, but I felt supported throughout by both my course mates and my teacher Heather. Heather is good at breaking the course and deadlines into smaller chunks so that they feel more achievable and you don't feel too overwhelmed by the workload.

The teaching environment is a relaxed and safe place where you are encouraged to ask questions and give input and ideas.
Heather will always come up with a comment or piece of information here or there which is not on the slides but which will really help you on your way to becoming an amazing therapist. These wee extras become invaluable.
She is always available to support and advise you if you feel you are struggling or falling behind.
Heather also has a very high standard, so when you finally get your qualification you know you are ready to begin your new career working with real clients and empowering people to change their lives.

I have just completed my course with the UK Academy Scotland in Haypark business Centre Polmont, Falkirk. I cannot recommend this course highly enough for those people who want to be a hypnotherapist. The tutor Heather Hutchison is totally committed to her students and makes the learning experience enjoyable but at the same time she will help her students learn thoroughly and ensure she produces safe therapists. The course content is so interesting and the practice with fellow students helps you learn and grow together, ready for the next step of being a competent therapist. Thank you for an amazing journey Heather.’

"I have enjoyed the course very much and will miss our monthly learning sessions. I found the training, the pace, the approach and your relaxed style of training conducive to our learning. You are very professional, extremely knowledgeable and so practical in your approach. Every weekend was delivered in an organised and informative manner with practical exercises and with the demonstration of your experience and skills apparent. You certainly have set the benchmark for us all. I only hope that I become as good a hypnotherapist as you one day.

Thank you for all your input, delivery, support, student counselling and coaching. You are a natural trainer and supervision counsellor. I wish you continued success in your training academy as the standard you deliver is extremely high".

which will enable me to use hypnotherapy.  

The course is well structured and delivered to a very high standard.

I found all the subjects and content very interesting, engaging and all very

applicable to helping people as a qualified hypnotherapist.

I am looking forward to my career in hypnotherapy and believe I am equipped

with all the necessary skills and knowledge in order to be as successful as possible.

I would highly recommend the course to anyone interested in practicing hypnotherapy

- it's a whole new, fascinating world. "

"I have recently completed the ten month Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma with the UK Academy training school and can testify that if you are considering completing your HPD that you need look no further.  The course has a good mix of practical and theory, with the students learning how to practice hypnosis from day one.  The training content is well put together, and is carried out in a professional manner.  Marketing strategies for new hypnotherapists were taught as part of the course, and NLP is covered in the last two months of the course.  I would say that the UK Academies training course leaves their students well equipped to go on and have a successful career as a clinical hypnotherapist".

If you are looking to do a Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnosis then I would recommend the course run by the UK Academy Scotland. The course combines theory and plenty of opportunity to practice. Heather who runs a successful hypnotherapy practice uses her knowledge and experience to bring the course to life. She gives lots of great nuggets of information to give her students the knowledge, skills and confidence to practice hypnotherapy safely, ethically and successfully.
