Hypnosis, NLP and Specialized Certifications
The International Hypnosis Association certifies individuals based on their knowledge and skill level. We offer these certifications:
- Certified Hypnotherapist or Hypnotist
- Certified Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming
- Certified Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming
- Specialized Certifications
Most localities do not have any regulations specific to the practice of hypnotherapy or NLP beyond the typical requirements for running a business (be sure to check where you'll be practicing). Therefore, professionals in the field and the public at large must turn to independent hypnosis organizations for any assurance of training level. Receiving this certification means you have met the standards of the International Hypnosis Association.
The IHA is not a government body and does not convey the legal right to practice in any area. Once again, you must check with your local government to find out if there are any local requirements, laws or regulations.
