"11 years as a police counsellor
taught me alot about people, but
this course challenged many of
my beliefs. I have now changed
the way I work and I love it.

Gordon (lead trainer) oozes
expertise and confidence, and
somehow inspires
confidence in you.

Gordon's teaching style is honest,
practical and straightforward. It
comes from some central place
within him, and makes for a
very positive learning experience."

Christine Weston
Psychotherapist and
Clinical Hypnotherapist

"I did my Diploma of Hypnotherapy
because so many of the positions I
was interested in were asking for
these qualifications.

As for this course everybody's
experience was very positive.
 If you train with Gordon you
are going to learn a lot,
but you will also laugh a lot.

What is obvious when you start to
come in to the profession is that
Gordon is the best in Australia.

If you want to do hypnosis
Gordon is the one to teach you"

"I was so impressed with the school's
professionalism, educational approach,
and passion for what they teach.
Gordon is a charismatic trainer, and
the opportunity to train with the world's
best was hard to pass up.

Dr Michael Yapko was a highlight,
and the group's exceptional bond was
so very important in a class of 18.

Gordon's standing in the field, his easy
style, and his cheeky sense of humour
make this training both powerful and
enjoyable.

Hypnosis is so much more than I
thought it was, and as a therapist you
will significantly improve your outcomes.

The trip from Brisbane to Manly (Sydney)
was well worth it.

You will love this journey."

"This course is what learning
is all about. It is extremely
comprehensive, and Gordon
teaches a respect for the
uniqueness of all individuals
in the application of
therapeutic hypnosis.

Gordon's teaching style reflects
an innate wisdom which allows
you to expand to meet the many
needs of your clients. It was such
a joy and for me personally it was
the piece that put the puzzle together."

"Over the years whilst practicing
counselling in both the corporate
world and more recently in welfare
 agencies, I have been searching for
 therapeutic models that might be
 more effective than the traditional
psychotherapy models available.

I found them with the empowering
combination of NLP practices and
language, solution oriented
psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy
offered by the AICH.

Gordon's valuable experience,
extensive tool kit, and personal
delivery make for a unique and
inspiring learning journey.

I believe training with the AICH
equips one with the most advanced
communication and interpersonal
skills available, and are beneficially
applied to all areas of one's life."

"I did a lot of research before
choosing the AICH. I was
fortunate enough to know
graduates from other schools,
many of whom felt there were
gaps in their training despite the
courses being 12 months or longer.

What I learned was that Gordon
 (lead trainer) was so well known,
and held in such high regard in
the profession, that I had to look
at the AICH.

Once here I saw why!

When giants of the field like
Dr Michael Yapko refer to the
prowess of your trainer you
start to understand what a
good decision you've made.

Even though I had no previous
training in therapy I have found
myself confident with the material
and my ability to do this work.

This is in no small part due to the
engaging and supportive teaching
style we experienced at the AICH."

Customer Service Manager

"This is a quality foundation for
a career in hypnotherapy.

I have done several courses
with Gordon (lead trainer) in
NLP and now in Hypnotherapy
and I cannot recommend him
enough.

There were psychologists and
experienced counsellors in the
group, but I did not feel
disadvantaged because I don't
have a therapy background.

The structure of the course
allowed us all to progress together,
and I know that I now have the
skills to really make a difference
in people's lives.

My advice - just do it!"

Miranda Rooney
Former General Manager
Fitness First

"Having undertaken various
other courses , and in the light
of interactions with colleagues
who have undertaken their training
at other schools.... It is in my
experience, that, with Gordon
you get the most valuable,
thorough, and effective
training around today.

You will learn through practical
experience by working with real
 people in real time... I personally
 know of schools whereby you learn
from a book almost in a 'teach yourself'
fashion, before getting proper guidance...

When I was considering schools
I was confused by claims that
'government endorsed', courses
were required for future practice,
but be assured that on completion
you are able to gain membership
to the professional body, full
insurance and fulfil all of the
requirements to practice...

If you want to gain extraordinary
skills from an extraordinary trainer
 in an extraordinary environment
then this is the school for you...

Reward yourself ...!!!"

"I consider myself privileged 
to have studied with Gordon
(lead trainer AICH)

His passion and his determination
to make you as good as you can
be is obvious.

He really cares about your success,
and will do whatever it takes to
support you through the training.

To watch him work in real time
with real issues is a pleasure.

This is a brilliant art."

Dr Anna Cohen

"To watch masters like Gordon
(AICH Lead Trainer) and
Dr Michael Yapko work is
 inspiring - you know you
have witnessed something special.

The AICH teaches the latest
techniques and introduced me
to evidence-based approaches
and effective treatments for my
clients.

The intelligent mix of theory and
practical and work provided me
with a real depth of understanding
in clinical hypnotherapy.

This is a very professional course
with a personal touch."

"From the moment you start you
know you are getting down to
business. The organisation is very
professional and the course
material is polished and thorough.

The delivery is exceptional.
The teaching/learning cycle is
 engaging and practical, and
 accommodates different styles
 of learning.

What is overwhelmingly clear
is that your trainers know what
they are doing!

At the risk of being critical, I have
 to say I originally started with a
VETAB accredited course,
 thinking it would be better,
but was disappointed with the
lack of congruence.

I switched quickly and I can
tell you that I am so glad I did.
You don’t realise how good your
training is until you meet students
from other schools, hear their stories,
and see their training gaps.

If you want a career in
Hypnotherapy, this is definitely
the place to be!"
