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 Sydney 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 Sydney. 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 Sydney 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 Sydney.
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 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.
Learning from one of the best Hypnotists in the world was an easy decision for me. I have come out feeling confident that once I start putting everything I have learnt into practice I will only get better and better. Thanks Rick
Fantastic resources. Rick has a wealth of information and the presentation is Great.
Highly recommended! Rick's approach to teaching this craft is meaningful & concise. I have come away with some very valuable skills.
