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 Gold Coast 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 Gold Coast. 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 the Gold Coast 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 the Gold Coast.
The Academy was founded in 1993 and Rick Collingwood has trained more than 5,000 students in his hypnosis styles. That is the reason the Gold Coast 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.
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.
Rick is a fascination and interesting teacher. I've trained with him and he's taken me from a complete, absolute beginner to a confident, powerful, hypnotist. Spend a few minutes in his company and you'll immediately know you're in the presence of a master.
As a counsellor and psychotherapist I use hypnotherapy with a variety of clients and their issues. Rick's training stood me in good stead to help my clients and enhance the services my practise offers.
I would highly recommend Rick Collingwood for all of your training needs.
