By becoming a certified hypnotist through the Summit Center for Hypnosis, you will be ready to apply what you have learned to your existing skill set or launch your own hypnosis practice. Class size is limited to twelve students to assure that every student gets individualized attention.
Designed with busy, working people in mind, our class meets for ten hours each week, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and on Saturdays, over eight weeks. Upon completion of the comprehensive hypnosis course and training, you will be fully certified as a professional hypnotist by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) and receive your first year of membership. The NGH is the oldest, largest hypnotism organization in the world.
