FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you prefer to read the answers to your questions, that option is offered below:

Do I need a college degree to become a Hypnotherapist ? Many of our graduates have some college training. However, many of our grads DO NOT have college training.  NEIH does not require college training as a prerequisite to enrollment in a Hypnotherapy Certification program.   What would it cost to attend the seminar-version  of the same course that I completed at a distance ? NEIH allows distance learning grads to attend the seminar-version of the course they completed at a distance for FREE. In other words, all DL grads can attend a seminar to repeat the training they completed at a distance at no charge,  for a full 12 months after completing their DL program ! That's like getting 2 trainings for the price of one. What do I need to be a successful Hypnotherapist ? You need to have completed a good Hypnotherapy Certification training program; you need to have a reasonably pleasant speaking voice; and you will need to have a commitment to creating your own Hypnotherapy practice.  You also need to have some basic marketing instruction, which CH201 includes, and a willingness to do some advertising in the beginning, to let people know that you're available. Is there licensure for Hypnotherapists? In most states, there is no licensure for the practice of Hypnotherapy. There are still so few of us practicing, that it is impractical for most states to set up licensure. Indiana is the only state so far to strictly license the practice of Hypnotherapy, although there are several states that restrict the practice of Hypnotherapy to licensed mental health or medical practitioners. How long does it take to become Certified ? The average NEIH student spends 6 weeks completing CH201- Hypnotherapy Certification, and 3-4 months completing the whole program- the CH205 - ALL 4 TRAININGS TOGETHER. NEIH allows each student 12 months to complete the CH201 Hypnotherapy Certification. And NEIH will grant an extension, if the student needs one. Will I be able to practice successfully as a Hypnotherapist after completing the Distance Learning program ? The NEIH Distance Learning Hypnotherapy Certification programs are designed to duplicate as much as possible, the Seminar experience. We provide the same training material, and our DL DVDs are recorded Live at our Seminars. Please also realize that most of our students complete the DL program, not the Seminar program, and experience the same level of success or greater, as our Seminar participants.  Remember, the DL students have the opportunity to repeat the training material as often as they want. How much can I charge as a Certified Hypnotherapist ? That will depend to a large extent, on where you will be practicing. In larger, more affluent metropolitan areas, you will be able to charge more for your work.  So, with an eye to location, you will be able to charge between $75. and $150. per hour for your work. Is there a refund policy on my training materials? Sure, but since we are talking about easily duplicated material, NEIH has to be prudent in the handling of returns. NEIH recommends that you make sure you want this training before enrolling. The refund policy states that you have 12 days to return your training materials from the original date of shipment and that there is a 15% restocking fee plus shipping costs, if all material is returned  in the same condition  it was sent. Please review the complete return policy under the Help menu at the top of the page. Will my NEIH Certification be recognized in the US and overseas ? NEIH grads are recognized in the field as well-trained Hypnotherapists, and our graduates experience a high level of success with their clients. Since there is so little  professional licensure for Hypnotherapists in the US, the best recognition you can have, is training received through a reputable and professional training organization, such as NEIH. Is there a demand for Certified Hypnotherapists? The demand for qualifed Certified Hypnotherapists is at an all-time high. One of the reasons that Hypnotherapists can charge what they do is, that there are not enough of us to supply the demand. When DATELINE continues to show HYPNOSIS as one of the best 2 methods of weight loss, the American public listens. Is there a time limit for completion of a Distance Learning Hypnotherapy Certification program ? NEIH is constantly upgrading its training programs and adding content, so there is a 1 year completion requirement for the CH201. Since the average student completes that training in 6-8 weeks, one year allows a lot of time for completion. If for some reason, you have not completed your training in a year, please call NEIH and request an extension, and we will be happy to comply. Is there any student support after enrollment in a Hypnotherapy Certification training program ? NEIH offer FREE ongoing Phone  support for all Hypnotherapy Certification students and graduates. We want you to succeed and having a knowledgable resource at the other end of the phone is  really important and it supports your success !
