s you are here, reading about our hypnosis training, most likely you've already watched the "Hypnotherapy Training: Be Aware" guide and as a result... by now, you also know why your choice of professional training in hypnotism can mean more to your ultimate success than any other single factor.

You also know that not all instructors in the art of hypnosis are created equal. Even though there are many well-intended instructors in our industry, they deliver what they can, just because it was the way they were trained. They just don't know any other way of teaching...

Without even realizing it, they teach you only half the truth, but they make it sound like the whole truth. An unfortunate side effect of this is that students from these teachers find little success. In fact, many of them have learned what they are lacking the hard way - finding themselves completely lost, feeling hopeless and miserable...

If you are looking for a place where you can obtain strong professional practical skills, while getting in-depth and hands-on training in hypnosis in addition to your personal growth, according to experts in the field, and APA graduates, you've just found it...
 

Your school is one of the 5 best schools in the country...

Roy HunterWhen Roy Hunter, Ph.D, CHI (the author of "Art of Hypnosis", "Art of Hypnotherapy", and "Hypnosis for Inner Conflict Resolution") was teaching his Parts Therapy course at APA, he said to our students:

"I believe one of the most important ingredients to be successful as a hypnotherapist is the width and depth of training in the art and science of hypnotism. There is no substitute for training... and your school is one of the 5 best schools in our country."


APA graduates are knowledgeable, proficient, and professional...

"As an instructor of advanced hypnotherapy coursework which I teach worldwide, I am constantly amazed at the vast differences in student skill levels I encounter in my travels.

Lack of regulation makes it all too easy to "hit or miss" when searching for quality foundational training, and, unfortunately, many students have learned what they are lacking the hard way...

On the bright side I have consistently found APA (The Alternative Practitioner Academy) graduates to be knowledgeable, proficient, and professional hypnotherapists, and it is an absolute pleasure to train them.

Instructors Tatiana Korol and Michael Smith offer premium training in the art and science of hypnotism and I highly recommend their school for anyone considering a career in this field."

~Lynsi Eastburn, Board Certified Hypnotherapist & Certified Instructor

The is NO other place that compares...

"I would absolutely recommend your school to my friends and colleagues because there is NO other place that compares.

The instructor is awesome. She not only instills you with confidence from the beginning, but she insists that you learn the real way.

I learned how to find My Core and to trust myself again. I feel centered and whole."

~Dahria Chasmar, CH
Hypnosis and clinical studies
 
Imagine how confident you are going to feel when you get your hypnotherapy certification training from one of the best schools in the US... where you're taught not just the right way of doing things, but also what is the right thing to do for you to feel good and proud about yourself as a professional.

It's OK to have some doubts at first - "other people teach almost the same thing" - but later...

By the time you finish just the first half of your Foundational & Self-Hypnosis Course #101, you will be glad you found us.

Because what you get in our school has no comparison. A number of our students have found it to be simply priceless:

"I  feel I have a sense of who I am back - not what others want me to be, and for that I am most grateful!"
~ Amy Bethell, CH

It's Important to You!

Your Choice of Professional Training in Hypnosis Can Mean More to Your Ultimate Success than Any Other Single Factor


As you consider the benefits of being able to help others to bring about positive changes in their lives, you may also consider the benefits of building a strong foundation of YOUR success.

As you do... here are the steps of the ladder that will lead you to the greatest satisfaction in your life:
 
  • Step #1 - learn what is the right thing for you to do as you tap into the source of your own power and allowing it to make your life better...
     
  • Step #2 - learn how to help others to transform their stumbling blocks into the keys to their achievement of any state of being or health...
     
  • Step #3 - allow yourself to soar, propel yourself from where you are to where you desire to be...
 

How can you put a price tag on becoming a new person?

"My life was changed by my experience with APA for two reasons.

One is of course, that I have been able to remarkably, expeditiously learn a way to earn a living doing something I love.

The other reason is that I have changed inside. Hypnosis has restored my self confidence, increased my level of reliance on my own intuition, and freed my inner child that had been bound, gagged, and chained to a desk for so very many years.

I literally feel like a new person... I cannot thank the two of you and your wonderful organization enough. How can one put a price tag on becoming a new person?"

~ Kathryn Zemaitis, CH

~ Fred Kutchins, CH

As I am stepping forward into the field of hypnotism... I realize...

"Tatiana & Michael,

I just wanted to say 'thank you' for being such great teachers.

As I am stepping forward
into the field of hypnotism, and having conversations with others who were not educated at APA, I realize now how much I learned from you... not just in regard to actual hypnosis itself, but also about intention, commitment, attraction, etc.... those things that are integrated into the practice of hypnotherapy.

All of those things are making themselves abundantly clear to me. I am very thankful for the education that I have received from you."

~ Diana Zilly, CH

You will learn more than you expect to...

"I loved everything about this experience... I will remember it for the rest of my life.

What I like the most about it? - The instructor's way of teaching. This is no questions she truly cares about not only teaching you, but what you do with what you learned.

She was able to speak to my soul. I had many revelations while attending this class...

Any person open to this way of thinking should come to this school. You will learn more than you expect to - I did."

~ Amy Bethell, CH

Before taking this training I felt unskilled, hesitant, and unsure. Now...

"Now, I feel knowledgeable, skilled, and enthusiastic!

I expect to learn how to induce hypnosis, do past life regression, and what scripts would be helpful with what types of concerns.

And I learned ALL the above + MUCH more. It was an incredible experience in learning skills and applying them. I also learned a lot about myself."

~ A. L. Bauer, CH

It is more than just Hypnotherapy Training...
It is personal power and a life changing awareness

~ Diana Smith, CH


In addition to what is listed above, here is what - most likely - you will not find anywhere else, except in our school.

Yes, there are places where you can learn the right way of doing things (like how to induce the hypnotic state).

The fact is (and the number of hypnotists that come to our school feeling completely lost after  training somewhere else proves the point) that the most important knowledge you can obtain before learning all the "how to" things is the knowledge of what is the right thing to do for you, because only then you
 
Self-hypnosis course outline - begin with the Laws Feel confident about your new knowledge and your new skills, not lost...
Self-hypnosis course outline - begin with the Laws Feel confident about knowing what to do next to promote your practice "here and now"...
Self-hypnosis course outline - begin with the Laws Feel confident about your ability to empower people and change their lives...

And this is exactly the way our students feel even before finishing the hypnotherapy certification program, because the entire training is designed to first, help you to recognize and respect what is the right thing for you to do and only then teach you the right way of doing it.

Most likely now you understand better why almost every student acknowledges the fact that this training has changed their lives:
 

Taking this class is one of the best gifts you can give yourself!

"Take it - especially if you are considering practicing hypnotherapy...

Learning how to release all of the negative crap and negative self-talk was the most valuable thing I have taken from this course personally...

Not only have I enriched my life by taking this class but others as well..."

~ Karen R. Ebner, CH

I can feel again, something, I thought I had lost...

"I have learned many things...

I have discovered the depth I have is endless. I can feel again something I thought I had lost. I have an excitement for my life again, a driving force.

I have a desire to live life to the fullest and for this I am very grateful.

Thank you SO much."

~ David Pinkston, CH

I feel I've gotten my true self back...

"Hypnosis resonated with me since my introduction in HypnoBirthing.

Having spent this week learning to be a hypnosis practitioner, the training, the time in practice has been invaluable.

I feel I've gotten my true self back.

Tatiana and Michael have found their true calling. I feel so very fortunate to have had them as instructors. I will be back..."

One of the things you're really going to enjoy having at the end of this program is the peace of mind and confidence that come from the knowing of what to do the very next day after the training, because in addition to obtaining practical skills you will also get the

Quick Start Package

... that has everything you need jumpstart your practice and to start implementing your knowledge immediately:
 
Additional scripts that will allow you to help others with nail biting, pain management, phobias and fears, motivation, sexual improvement, tension headaches, learning / studying, test anxiety, public speaking, stress, insomnia, and much-much more...
Step-by-step blueprints to work with different types of clients...
Smoking Cessation Program - a complete system you can use the next day after the class to help others to quit quitting and become non-smokers in just one visit
Six Hour Self-Hypnosis Course

You'll be trained and receive (in 103 course) a step-by-step checklist and complete program to begin marketing a three-to-six-hour workshop for small and large groups that can market immediately... Also...

Depending on the enrollment option you choose you will get:
Five Week Weight Loss Management

- a complete five week weight management program that includes the sessions' checklists and scripts. This program can create a regular base income for your practice...

AND...in our school you'll get something you will not find at ANY college in the country:
"Out of print" royalty-free music

This 60-minute track is the absolute favorite of our students and is not available for sale any more. Use it in your office or to record your hypnosis CD and offer them for sale on-line or off-line...
Out of print books - we have received countless number of times gratitude and appreciation from our students for including these books in the package...

AND... you'll get something you will not find at ANY college in the country:
FREE lifetime review of any of the 3 hypnotherapy certification courses

That's right... Enroll into all three courses and review any of them as many times as you wish without paying your tuition again. You will be amazed at how much you learn on the second time around.

Very helpful to review the course because...

"First, you learn things that you missed the first time through.

Second, it also helps you nip in the bud any shortcuts or bad habits you might have picked up since.

You always learn from other students, so you get a whole new batch to learn from, plus...

And third, information can now be seen in the context of the experience with clients you may have had since taking the class first time.

It is a positive reinforcement of how far you have come..."

~ Olivia Shelkey, CH

Never minimize the chance to review & revisit because...

"... you always forget something or just don't remember you knew it.

Plus a chance to see where I was a year ago was really helpful. It was inspiring to share my experiences with new students and watch them realize what they learned."

~ Tom Majka, CH
 
And as you tune inwards to realize the meaning of what comes through your mind now, there are a couple of very important things to keep in mind though...

When you look around, there are many different hypnosis programs available.

Most likely, these programs all make big promises.

But when you put them to test, very often the experience you end up having can be described as a disaster because
 

You Haven't Been Given CRITICAL Knowledge
About Hypnosis & Hypnotism

And as a result... You learn several techniques that you are not comfortable using, because deep inside you know that they may work fine in some cases and fail in others.

And the more you think about what to use when, the lower your confidence level becomes and the greater your list of "What if" fears grows and keeps piling one on a top of another... No wonder why you end up feeling frustrated.

But has it ever occurred to you that most of the programs out there leave out vital information? And what is missing is the key, fundamental knowledge about why hypnosis works.

Because the truth is (and experience proves it over and over again):

Only when you own this key, you are able to effectively use the incredible power of hypnosis to improve your life, your health, and your wellbeing as well as help others to bring positive changes in their lives.

There is one "key to the key", however. And most likely deep inside you know it already...
 

Success IS a Decision
And You Are the Only One Who Can Make It

When a man wants to climb a hill, he doesn't sit down at the base of the hill and pray to a higher power to lift him, hoping the higher power will carry him to the top.

Instead, he organizes his thought; he decides he is going to climb the hill, and then he starts climbing, knowing that as long as he keeps making step after step, keeping his eye ever on the top, sooner or later he WILL get there, wouldn't you agree?

If your goal is to learn more about hypnosis and how you can use this tool to control your life, to empower yourself and others... when now would be a good time for you to stop for a moment, organize your thoughts and decide how fast you want to reach the top of this hill?

Whatever option you choose - less than a week or three months - is not important, and it's not even important that you choose our certification program... What IS important is that you ensure that you have found the right school
 
Isn't it nice to know that by the end of your hypnosis training when you have everything you need to get started immediately, you'll look back at today and feel relieved that you've made the right decision to
 

 

I feel I am being prepared for immediate hypnotherapy practice...

"This has been one of the best learning experiences I've ever had, and that includes under graduate, graduate school and post graduate training.

I feel I am being prepared for immediate hypnotherapy practice... Possibilities are intriguing and limitless."
