Inside the training
The Hypnosis portal holds recordings of Rick Collingwood teaching real classes, with the demonstrations filmed as they happened. These are frames from some of those lessons, and the manuals you receive with the training.
What the training covers
The training works through practical hypnosis procedures, inductions and deepening, therapeutic application, and working with clients. The material sits in the Hypnosis Training portal of the student training and resource centre, as training manuals and training videos.
The curriculum is written by Rick Collingwood, a therapeutic hypnotist, hypnosis and mesmerism trainer and author who founded Mind Motivations in 1993. His teaching draws on traditional hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnosis, mesmerism, hypnotic fascination, direct and rapid methods, counselling, TFT and NLP.
How the study works
On registration you receive an acceptance letter with your details, the required training manuals in eBook format, and a password for the online student training and resource centre. Study begins the day you register and is worked through at your own pace.
Every training also includes six online group monthly Zoom trainings of two hours each. Resource centre access is permanent and free, so the material stays available after you qualify.
Assessment and the qualification issued
Assessment is an examination and self-assessments. A Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy is issued on completion of them.
Practical competency for the in-class training is assessed live, in the room, so that component cannot be completed remotely. Online students who later want it attend one of the scheduled eight-day intakes.
How the fee works if you later train in class
If you enrol for an in-class training at any time in the future, the fees of your online training are automatically deducted from the in-class fee. Nothing is paid twice.
No knowledge is withheld in order to upsell students into another training. The online training is complete in itself.
Who the training suits
The training assumes nothing, and many students arrive with no experience in therapy at all. It also suits experienced practitioners folding hypnosis into a practice they already run.
The Academy has taught clinical hypnosis as a modality within the professions of physical and emotional healing since 1993, to an audience that has included doctors and executives.
Practising after you qualify
No Australian jurisdiction registers hypnotherapists, so practice is governed by professional association membership rather than state registration.

Common questions
When does the training start?
The day you register. Online study opens immediately and is worked through at your own pace, so there is no intake date to wait for.
Do I need any background in therapy?
No. The training assumes nothing, and many students arrive with no experience in therapy at all.
Does this include the eight days in class?
No. The online training requires no travel and no in-class attendance, because it is a complete training in itself. If you enrol for an in-class training later, your online training fee is deducted from the in-class fee.
Can I take the mesmerism training as well?
Yes. Enrol for both online trainings and the fee for the two together is AUD $1,100, or USD $800, a $498 reduction, with access to both portals.
Is a payment plan available?
Quoted rates apply when the fee is paid in full on registration. The payment plan conditions are confirmed in the current information pack.

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.
I had an amazing time at The Australian Academy of Hypnosis as a student who completed the Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis certification. Rick is highly skilled and caring trainer and mentor. He provided a lot of helpful hypnosis intervention strategies and powerful inductions that will assist you to see what you as a practitioner are truly capable of. The trainings had a wide array of content and styles incorporated with them. This was much more than just a school, it was an experience. I grew personally, professionally and spiritually from my time at Rick. If you are ready to take your hypnosis skills and depth of knowledge to the next level, then training with Rick Collingwood is a must.
Rick is a world class trainer and hypnotist!
I highly recommend to contact Rick if you are curious and interested in learning skills that can be beneficial for life and enable you to achieve what you want. You can study the certificate level, diploma or go all the way to master diploma as I have and you will find the journey enriching!
Thanks again Rick and the Australian Academy of Hypnosis for being authentic and genuine in what you provide as well as keeping it within the achievable means for people both in the knowledge sharing and fee structure of your programs.
Rick shares his knowledge and experience in such a way that learning is made very easy for all students. Ricks approach is very practical, no nonsense and easy to understand and learn. I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to learn hypnosis. Rick is a master and I feel extremely lucky to have been taught by someone with over 30 years worth of experience and such passion for hypnosis. If you are serious about learning Hypnosis, this is the course you need.
