This is a 40-hour certification course. You’ll experience a blended classroom that includes video instruction, demonstrations, and live online interaction.

Online Sessions: Roger and Tracy will facilitate discussion, demonstration, and practice. We’ll have an opportunity to explore concepts in-depth, practice skills, and work through questions. We encourage live online attendance, though sessions are recorded and will be available for replay. To qualify for certification all coursework must be complete within six months of the first class.

Independent Learning & Practice:  Roger and Tracy have prepared videos demonstrating techniques and key topics. Each week you’ll view assigned videos totaling from 20-45 minutes. We’ll assign independent practice time each week, with a time commitment of about 30 minutes. Other assignments may include writing, preparing for class demonstrations, and research/reading, with a time commitment of about 30 minutes. In all, we expect the homework time commitment to be 90 minutes per week, though some practitioners will prefer to spend more time with the homework and practice.  

Practitioner Guide: Your companion book is over 180 pages, containing a wealth of resources, including protocols, scripts, and client-centered solutions.

Certification: Upon successful completion of the course, the International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy will award your certificate.

Complete the training: Attend or view all classes, and successfully complete all independent assignments within six months of the first class. 

Become a member of ICBCH: The International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy will be issuing your Integrative Medical Hypnosis Practitioner certificate, and so membership with the ICBCH is required. If you’re not already a member, the ICBCH charges a small fee to join (~$100). There are many benefits to membership, like access to group health insurance, extensive continuing education materials, and peer support. For hypnosis practitioners originally trained and certified through another organization, ICBCH respects your qualifications and offers a reciprocity hypnosis certification and membership.
