                                           CONSUMER ALERT

You are advised to give careful consideration to correspondence courses or any kind of distance learning for training as a hypnotist.  Live demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice with spontaneous critiques are essential to hypnotism training which is intended to lead to an effective, successful practice. Correspondence courses are very limited in their potential to train a person to become a hypnotist or hypnotherapist.
