Hypnotherapy Training Adelaide

An enquiry commits you to nothing

Classes are limited in size, so an early enquiry gives you more choice of intake. It holds nothing and obliges nothing.

Online theory opens the day you register, so your study begins in Adelaide well before the in-class block.
In the room

Inside the in-class training

The in-class days are taught in the room. Rick Collingwood demonstrates on students, then you practise what he has shown with a trainer watching, and your practical competency is assessed live in the room rather than by video.

How Adelaide students train with us

The qualification is deliberately split. Theory, history, ethics and case work are delivered online through the students resource centre, which you work through at your own pace from Adelaide. The practical component - inductions, supervised practice and assessment - happens in the room, in Melbourne or Perth, because competency is assessed live.

Because the practical days run as a block rather than weekly evenings, most Adelaide students complete each stage in a single trip. That suits someone already working: the hours come out of one period of leave rather than a weeknight class stretched over months.

One trip covers it. The in-class training is eight consecutive days: three days of Advanced Hypnosis with Rick Collingwood, one day of self-hypnosis, hypnosis for achievement and marketing your practice with Michael Nadalin, and four days of Advanced Mesmerism and Magnetism. If you would rather not travel at all, the online trainings are completed entirely from Adelaide.

The Academy was founded in 1993 and Rick Collingwood has trained more than 5,000 students in his hypnosis styles. That is the reason Adelaide students travel for the practical days rather than train closer to home. See the Melbourne training details.

Answered

Adelaide questions

Can I complete the practical training in Adelaide?

No. The practical training is held in Melbourne or Perth and cannot be completed in Adelaide or by video, because competency is assessed live in the room. The theory component is completed online from Adelaide.

How many days is the in-class training?

Eight consecutive days for the in-class training. The online trainings require no travel at all, and their fees are deducted if you later attend in class.

Is the online study different if I live in Adelaide?

No. The training manuals, training videos and portal access are identical wherever you study from, and they open the day you register.

What are the in class training times?

All in class training begins at 9.30am and finishes at 5pm. There are 20 minute breaks at 10.30am and at 3.30pm. Lunch is 1 hour from 12.30pm until 1.30pm.

Do I need to be registered to practise in South Australia?

No Australian jurisdiction registers hypnotherapists, including South Australia. Practice is governed by professional association membership.

Can I start before the January 2027 intake?

Yes. Online theory begins the day you register, so most students have completed a substantial part of the course before the first in-class day.

Reviews left on Google

Google reviews

These Google reviews were submitted by students who trained directly with Rick Collingwood, and were written while he owned and was head trainer of The Australian Academy of Hypnosis, which he founded in 1995 and owned until March 2023. Some of the reviews name the Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses of that time, which the present trainings have now replaced.

Rick is a master hypnotist and is able to pass on his knowledge and experience creating a very practical and useable learning experience and includes the breadth of theory to support the practice.

For those of you who are interested in doing hypnosis or hypnotherapy, this academy is second to none.

After researching many academies and settling on this one, I have come across many students from other academies who could not induce hypnosis until coming to this one.

If hypnosis or hypnotherapy is for you - don't waste your time or money going anywhere else.

Oliver Waters

In my opinion this is the best place in Australia to learn the traditional hypnosis.

Rick is a great teacher as well as a very generous man, who not only understands but also practices hypnosis which he uses to help thousands of people

I highly recommend that organisation to anyone who is willing to learn the real hypnosis and intends to open his own practice
