"Terms & Conditions" for Hypnosis Students
Tuition is payable in U.S. funds only. If you choose to use a credit card there is an additional processing fee of $25. On your registration form indicate this is your preferred method of payment and you will receive a 'statement' through PayPal, a secure online service. You then follow their simple directions. Payment with a personal check or money order made payable to Barbara Hawkins is also acceptable. Payment in full is required before the course begins unless otherwise arranged. If cancellation is necessary within 10 days of the course start date, your refund will be less $495. If it's necessary for you to cancel within 21 days of the course start date, your refund will be less $150.

This is a Master Hypnotist certification course. It is not only expected, it is REQUIRED that you practice and do homework between class sessions. By the end of the course you must evidence by your conversation, your questions, your behavior and your conduct of practice sessions that you have practiced and done your homework. You may be required to hypnotize and take Barbara Hawkins – or someone she designates – through a complete session in order to give evidence of a reasonable level of confidence and competence.

At the end of the course, assuming you have fulfilled the above, you will receive a certificate as a
Master Hypnotist. If the above conditions have not been satisfactorily fulfilled yet there has been full-day attendance in every class, a Certificate of Attendance is issued.

In the eventuality that a student receives the Certificate of Attendance and would like to be certified as a Master Hypnotist, the student has three months in which to contact Barbara Hawkins and arrange a time at which the student hypnotizes Ms. Hawkins in order to evidence a reasonable degree of competence. After that session, if Ms. Hawkins believes the student has shown a reasonable degree of competency, a Master Hypnotist certificate will be issued to replace the Certificate of Attendance.

Texts for the course are:

• "Conversational Hypnosis: A Manual of Indirect Suggestion" by Carol Sommer
• "The New Hypnotherapy Handbook" by Kevin Hogan
• "Secrets of Self-Hypnosis" by Dr. Bruce Goldberg
• "Hypnotherapy" by Dave Elman (optional, yet highly recommended)

It is expected that each student will buy their books independently of tuition. While the above are available from Amazon, students are free to buy where they choose.
