The Academy answers it
Every enquiry is answered by the Academy rather than by an automated sequence. Tell us what you need to know and we answer that.
You get specific details
The fees in your currency, the dates for the intake you are considering, and how an online training fee is deducted if you later attend in class.
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.
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 Darwin 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 Darwin. 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 Darwin 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 Darwin.
The Academy was founded in 1993 and Rick Collingwood has trained more than 5,000 students in his hypnosis styles. That is the reason Darwin students travel for the practical days rather than train closer to home. See the Melbourne training details.

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.
It became crystal clear to me why Rick Collingwood is Australia’s most well-known clinical hypnotherapist. I received comprehensive training in hypnosis and mesmerism and had the pleasure of being trained and supervised by Rick. The course was very practical, and I learnt lots of valuable skills.
Rick Collingwood not only knows deeply about the history, origins and now modern ways to apply all things mesmerism and hypnosis, he generously teaches it and gives to his students and clients whole heartedly and generously. Learning with Rick is fun, eye-opening and rewarding. He is a true gem and a master at what he does. If you're ever keen to learn about hypnosis, Rick and the Autralian Academy of Hypnosis is the place to go!
Rick trains hypnosis in Melbourne. I have completed the certificate, diploma and advanced diploma in Ricks academy. As part of the training rick provides a large amount of reference material which supports your learning. There are multiple lectures where you can have your questions answered and there is a large amount of practical. I would highly recommend ricks training for anyone who wants to learn Hypnosis and be able to use it to build your practice.
