Introduction
Many thanks for requesting this Prospectus for the Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy with Aspire Hypnotherapy Training Providers (from here on in referred to as Aspire).
This prospectus explains what Aspire can offer you and how training in clinical hypnotherapy will provide you with a rewarding and exciting career. This prospectus is designed to provide all the information you need to decide to train with us.
Many hypnotherapy training providers are operating in Australia currently. However, often the information can seem conflicting or confusing and frequently leaves a lot of important questions unanswered. We aim to provide you with a high quality of professional training that equips you with both the confidence and the essential skills to offer your service as a competent practising Clinical Hypnotherapist.
Aspire’s Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy exceeds all current industry requirements to operate as a qualified Hypnotherapist in Australia. This course has been created to align with the new education standards recently approved by the industry. These standards will be mandatory from 2024. However, you will be ahead of the curve if you train with Aspire.
Qualifying as a Hypnotherapist is only a part of the process. Here at Aspire, we will provide you with all the information and guidance required to set up and run a successful hypnotherapy practice. We will also share our clinical experience gained over many years in our private clinics with you.
In this prospectus, we not only outline the complete course content but the additional information to enable you to make an informed choice about how to proceed with your interest in hypnotherapy.
Working as a Clinical Hypnotherapist will bring you into contact with many vulnerable people or experiencing some difficulty in their lives. Therefore ethics and personal integrity play a vital role in the assessment process. In addition, Aspire operates under the principle of continuous feedback for all delegates, providing you with the guidance and support to complete your course successfully.
We hope this prospectus provides you with all the information you need. However, if you require more information or would like to discuss anything further, feel free to contact us. We are here to help you make the right choice for you.

Certification
Hypnotherapy is now more widely accepted as a method for helping clients make beneficial changes in their lives. Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic process that creates an altered state of consciousness. It encourages relaxation, which heightens suggestibility. Using an induction instigates this process, thus allowing perceptions, thoughts, feelings and behaviours to alter. You may be surprised by the amount of research legitimatising hypnotherapy.
The course curriculum provides graduates with a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy which is recognised by hypnotherapy associations within Australia, enabling students to apply to join their preferred hypnotherapy association upon completing the requirements.
Aspire has a single purpose – Enhancing the profession through the pursuit of excellence. Therefore the course includes a comprehensive theory base, hypnosis skills, counselling skills, and business skills to help undertake a new business. The techniques learned are vital to ensure you are equipped to support your clients efficiently and effectively.
While many hypnotherapy training schools provide scripts for their students, we focus on developing critical thinking skills. This is because we believe that when a client comes to you, you are not treating a symptom but rather helping a person make the changes they desire. To this end, we don’t focus so much on treating this condition or that one, but instead, use STRATEGIC PSYCHOTHERAPY to uncover how somebody maintains an undesirable pattern of thinking or behaviour. As such, this course is not for the faint hearted. It is a comprehensive course, with extensive work to be completed within a year (from the first ‘face to face’ module).
At Aspire, we understand that graduating with our Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy is only the first step in your learning journey to have a long and successful career in the profession. As such, you will be eligible to participate in monthly ‘live online’ group supervision sessions after the course. This is complimentary to support you to implement your new skills and knowledge competently and confidently.

Progression Between Modules
Progression from one module to the next is determined by a student’s performance in the course. (Payments must also be up to date). Students must complete the mandatory assessments to ensure they are ready to proceed with the new content. These mandatory assessments will require a commitment of approximately five hours per week. Attendance at the next ‘face to face’ module is only possible once mandatory assessments have been completed.
Assessments
Aspire will provide all Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy students with a range of prescribed readings in the form of electronic texts.
At Aspire Hypnotherapy Training Providers, we value quality and want our students to become highly skilled and knowledgeable. As such, all assessments require to be deemed satisfactory. Some assessments are mandatory to complete before moving forward with the training course. You can come back to the others. Each assessment will be clearly labelled, either way. Some assessments will be marked electronically, and you will receive immediate feedback. Most assessments will be marked manually, and this is a time-consuming process. These assessments will generally be marked within three weeks. If this is not possible for some reason, you will be informed and provided with the assessment timeframe.
If you have two failed attempts at any assessment, you will be prompted to book a support call with the assessor. If a practical video assessment is deemed unsatisfactory twice, a fee of $50 per assessment will be incurred by the student when they resubmit such an assessment to cover the assessor’s time.
All assessments submitted must be your work, in your own words.
