Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma Course

Tutor: Robert Shields

The following conditions are effective from February, 1st 2007 and take precedence over any other conditions that may be on any other web site or Course Material:

Having purchased the full course under our special offer, the following applies to you:

• you can take the examination (one attempt) free of charge (Note: there is a one year time limit (from date of purchase) on when you can take the exam, but you must have studied for not less that three months from the date of receiving the course).    If you wish to take the exam after the one year, there is a fee of $30.00 (about £17.00) to pay.

• you will also be entitled to Life Membership of the Association on passing the examination.  Click here for details of The Association.  

• There is a small charge of $15.00 USD  (£10 UKP ) to cover the cost of production, posting etc. for the Diploma and Association Membership Certificate).      This fee is separated from the purchase price because some purchasers use the material for study purposes only and do not require the qualification.

2nd and Subsequent Attempts at the Examination

In the unlikely event you fail the your free first attempt at the examination, the following applies:

You are eligible, subject to the following conditions, to take the final Diploma Examination again at a cost of $30.00 (US) or £17.00 (UKP).

Conditions:  

• You are permitted to take the examination again subject to studying for a further one month.   This is to allow time for further studying and and revision.

• You are permitted two further attempts for the above fee and should you fail those two attempts (highly unlikely), an additional fee of $70.00/£40.00 will be payable for each additional attempt (nobody has ever had to pay this).

• On passing the examination, you will still be entitled to a life-time membership of  The Association of Ethical and Professional Hypnotherapists.   Click here for details of The Association.

The Examination

The examination is multiple choice and taken on-line.   i.e.  there are three possible answers to each question with one being correct.     

There are 100 questions and a pass mark of 80%.    There is a time limit of two hours (more than enough time to answer all questions) and in the unlikely event you go over that time, the examination site will automatically shut down and only those questions answered will be marked.   There is a countdown button on the examination paper.   Again, I stress that two hours is more than enough time to take the exam, providing you have studied the course material.

The examination is marked automatically on-line immediately after you hit the 'Please Grade me' button on the examination paper.     The results are notified to both you (providing you supply an email address on the page displayed when you finish the examination) and The College.    We, therefore, have no control over whether you pass or fail and this gives the examination credibility.

Due to the nature of the final examination, there are no practice or mock examinations.   

The final examination is straight forward and is accessed through a user name and password that is given to you on application.  

After the three month minimum study period, you can ask to take final examination by sending an email/ticket to the College (an up-to-date link is near the bottom of the first page at http://www.hypnotherapy-training.com - due to excessive spamming, some email addresses have to be closed, but there is always a valid link on that page).   You MUST include

• your full name,

• your email address at time of purchase

• date of purchase and

• the amount paid for the course

in your email/ticket.   If your date of purchase is incorrect and/or you are outside the year permitted to take the exam, I reserve the right to charge you the second attempt amount.  

IN SUMMARY

• The first attempt at the examination is free and must be taken within a year of purchase.  

• You must study for at least three months before taking the mock and/or final examination. 

• On passing the examination there is charge of $15.00/£8.00 to cover the costs, and time,  involved in producing and posting the Diploma and Association Membership Certificate.

• In the unlikely event that you fail the first attempt, there is a $30.00 fee for two more attempts.    (It is EXTREMELY rare that anyone has to take the examination more than three times, in fact the last time was over five years ago).

• Thereafter each attempt at the examination costs $15.00.
