Hypnosis training Australia, eight days in class
The in-class training runs over eight consecutive days and is where you learn to induce hypnosis under supervision. Two intakes are scheduled for 2027: Sydney from Friday 22 to Friday 29 January, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from Friday 5 to Friday 12 March. Places are limited.
USD $4,500 in any other country, and less again for existing distance learning students.
The eight days
Days one to four are Advanced Hypnosis training conducted by Rick Collingwood. Day five is Advanced Mind Dynamics Training, also conducted by Rick Collingwood. Michael Nadalin delivers a separate session covering self-hypnosis, hypnosis for achievement, and marketing your hypnosis practice.
Days six to eight are Advanced Mesmerism and Magnetism training, including how to combine those methods with hypnosis in practice. The eight days run consecutively, as one block.
Dates and locations
Sydney runs from Friday 22 to Friday 29 January 2027, eight days inclusive, at AUD $6,000. Phnom Penh, Cambodia, runs from Friday 5 to Friday 12 March 2027, eight days inclusive, at USD $4,500.
Classes are limited in size, so the earlier you enquire the more choice you have over the intake you join. Accommodation, districts, currency, visas and nearby travel for the Cambodia intake are set out on the Phnom Penh, Cambodia training information page.
How the days are taught
The in-class training is hands-on and experiential. You practise on other students under supervision, and no knowledge is withheld in order to upsell you into another training.
Because the days run as a block rather than weekly evenings, most students complete the in-class requirement in a single period of leave. Online theory opens the day you register, so study begins well before the practical days.
Assessment and the qualification issued
The in-class training requires completion of the eight days, together with an examination and self-assessments. Practical competency is assessed live, in the room, which is why this component cannot be completed remotely.
A Diploma of Advanced Clinical Hypnosis is issued on successful completion.
What in-class enrolment includes beyond the eight days
In-class students gain automatic access to the student training and resource centre and to the materials in both the Hypnosis and Mesmerism portals, including all training manuals and training videos. Six online group monthly Zoom trainings of two hours each are included.
In-class students can also repeat any future training at a very low cost. Resource centre access is permanent and free.
Fees and what is not included
The fee is AUD $6,000 in Australia and USD $4,500 in any other country, and less again for existing distance learning students. If you studied online first, those fees are automatically deducted from the in-class fee.
Travel and accommodation for the in-class days are not included, and neither are professional association membership or insurance fees once you qualify.

Common questions
Can any of the eight days be completed online?
No. Practical competency is assessed live, in the room, so the in-class component cannot be completed remotely or by video.
Do I have to attend all eight days?
Yes. The eight days run consecutively as one block, and attendance across all of them is required because competency is assessed live.
Do I have to travel to Sydney?
Two intakes are scheduled for 2027. Sydney runs from 22 to 29 January and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, runs from 5 to 12 March, so students choose whichever suits their travel.
I have already completed a distance learning training. What do I pay?
Those fees are automatically deducted from the in-class fee, and the in-class fee is less again for existing distance learning students. The exact figure is confirmed in the current information pack.
Are travel and accommodation included?
No. Travel and accommodation for the in-class days are arranged and paid for by the student.
Choose your intake
The eight days run twice in 2027. Each intake has its own page with the dates, the fee in local currency and its own enquiry form.
