The Academy’s in-class training is held in Sydney, with the next intake from Friday 22 to Friday 29 January 2027. Sydney students complete the practical component locally and the theory online, beginning the day they register.
Tell us where you are and where you are starting from. We reply with the fees, the dates and the detail that applies to your situation.
Every enquiry is answered by the Academy rather than by an automated sequence. Tell us what you need to know and we answer that.
The fees in your currency, the dates for the intake you are considering, and how a distance learning fee is deducted if you later attend in class.
Classes are limited in size, so an early enquiry gives you more choice of intake. It holds nothing and obliges nothing.
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 Sydney. The practical component - inductions, supervised practice and assessment - happens in the room, in Sydney, because competency is assessed live.
Because the practical days run as a block rather than weekly evenings, Sydney students complete the in-class requirement without taking time off across months. Classes are limited in size, so the earlier you enquire the more choice you have over the intake you join.
The in-class training is eight consecutive days: four days of Advanced Hypnosis and one day of Advanced Mind Dynamics with Rick Collingwood, and three days of Advanced Mesmerism and Magnetism. Michael Nadalin delivers a separate session on self-hypnosis, hypnosis for achievement, and marketing your practice.
The Academy was founded in 1993 and Rick Collingwood has trained more than 5,000 students in his hypnosis styles. That is the reason Sydney students travel for the practical days rather than train closer to home. See the Sydney training detail.
