FAQ
Do I need to be a therapist to take your hypnotherapy training?
No. Many students are therapists, but we also train coaches and wellness practitioners. We teach ethics, scope, and referral clarity so you practice responsibly.
Is Level 2 required for certification?
Level 2 is designed as the certification pathway and advanced competency training. If you want certification (not just foundational training), Level 2 is your next step after Level 1.
Can I take Level 3 if I only want to run groups?
You’ll need strong fundamentals first. Most practitioners take Level 1 (and often Level 2) before leading groups to ensure safety, structure, and strong facilitation skills.
What if I’m interested in spiritual/transpersonal work?
Perfect—but start with the fundamentals. Level 4 is best when your facilitation skills are solid, so your transpersonal work is grounded and safe.
Do you offer continuing education credits?
If a specific training offers CEUs, it will be clearly listed on the program page. (You’ll see it in the Level page details.)
