Our four study pathways are structured according to your needs, we mostly have applicants who:
- Wish to embark on a change of career and are looking for recognised training to achieve that
- Have a qualification in psychology or a related subject and want to become a therapist
- Are hypnotherapists and wish to gain accreditation with UKCP as a hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor or hypno-psychotherapist
- Are not wishing to enter practice but wish to pursue their interest in the subject within the context of recognised training
Entry requirements
The UKCP require a “post-graduate level of competence at outset of training” so we need to make sure that all students are capable of working to that level. This can be demonstrated in many ways, the most obvious is having a degree or a degree level qualification, but if you don’t, admission on to one of our pathways is still possible. We recognise that many people without a formal first degree make excellent therapists in a profession where life experience is considered a definite asset. The National College therefore operates a system of recognising equivalent professional experience and a range of different qualifications if you don’t have a first degree. If you are unsure about your entry qualifications, please feel free to contact us to talk to someone.
