Why Do We Have Only 1 Intake a Year?
Some colleges allow students to start whenever they want - Beware...
Those colleges have students joining in with students half-way through training or at the end of their training. The new student is often overwhelmed and misses a lot of basic knowledge needed to become foundationally skilled.
Any professional and leading College has students start at the beginning. Like when building the pyramids, you set up a strong base foundation before adding the higher levels of learning and understanding, creating a solid structure that will last forever. The AHC ensures students have a solid base of understanding before building on therapeutic skills.

Many students are confused when colleges speak about use of scripts in their training
Please see below to gain an understanding of the reason students should have basic scripted dialogues provided when commencing their Hypnotherapy work. We never want students to fly blind, nor be unsure of how to do what they need to do. We all need to start learning the basics; full proficiency happens as you progress.
Using a Script - Should I or Should I Not??
If No Plan or Scripted Dialogue is Taught??
There are some colleges who profess their students should not ever use a script in their hypnosis sessions when commencing their work. Even though the words they teach are scripted.
To use a metaphor, (which we also teach you) this is like telling a builder that you want a 3br house and he presents this to you <- because s/he had no plans to work off. You clearly won't get the quality outcome wanted.
Any new therapist must be provided with good quality guided dialogue, plan, or script, so they can learn to individualise for their client and develop the skills needed to become a professional, successful therapist.
Learning with Quality Guided Scripted Dialogues
When commencing your professional work as a clinical hypnotherapist it is essential you are provided with high quality plans to follow.
You are taught how to write, individualise, and use the specific words of your client and tailor your session to them, using the base dialogue script we provide you are a plan as you learn to build or develop your own.
We are very proud to offer our students all the necessary plans and scripted dialogues to start your therapeutic work effectively. We teach you how to implement and utilise the basic structure of any script and how you personalise it for each individual client. This is an essential part of quality learning to become a highly skilled and truly successful Clinical Hypnotherapist.
