Dallas Hypnosis Training Institute (DHTI)
http://www.dhtic.com/Training.html

The Dallas Hypnosis Training Institute (DHTI) is certainly a premier facility in the field of hypnosis. DHTI is dedicated to the education and support of successful professional hypnotists and hypnotherapists. Our training includes a wide range of techniques and hypnotic processes to allow our graduates to be fully prepared for success with each individual client.

While smoking cessation and weight loss are certainly two of the most popular applications of hypnosis, and we do cover these areas in detail, there are many, many more standard applications as well as newly emerging uses of hypnosis.

We know it takes more than just being a good hypnotist to be successful. Extensive management and marketing is a standard part of our curriculum helping each student establish their goals and manifest those goals for success. Our school is certified through the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, one of the oldest and most respected hypnotist organizations in America. Each of our instructors are certified through ACHE as both instructors and examiners.

The Courses

DHTI offers a 300-hour in-depth study in the field of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Our comprehensive instructional and experiential training program includes three levels of professional instruction, one hundred hours per level. Each level can be taken as a separate education.

Upon successful completion of each 100-hour level, a certificate is given. Completion of all three levels, totaling 300 hours, is necessary to be eligible for the national certification test as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist through the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE).

Upon completion of all three levels of training, our graduates have met the standard requirements for certification and registration as a Hypnotist as defined by the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, U.S. Department of Labor. Hypnotherapist training programs are now accepted and approved by the National Center for Educational Statistics, U.S. Department of Education and is included in “A Classification of Instructional Programs” published by the U.S. Department of Education.

The American Council of Hypnotist Examiners is acknowledged in this publication for its significant contribution, and the A.C.H.E. approved schools are listed in the “Directory of Postsecondary Institutions” published by the U.S. Department of Education. Our school is also approved by the Texas Rehabilitation Commission.
