IF you are a state licensed mental or behavioral health care or nursing professional, you may qualify for CEU credits. For a complete listing of approved CEU states and disciplines. 

CHECK THE LISTINGS BELOW TO SEE IF YOUR PROFESSIONAL LICENSE WILL QUALIFY FOR APPROVED CEU CREDIT

Individual Board Rules are subject to change.  Each local and national professional board has its own specific Rules and Regulations for Continuing Education Credit Approval and Acceptance - and each state has its own rules and regulations concerning the practice of hypnosis and hypnotherapy by licensed or unlicensed professionals. 

The approval and acceptance information we provide below pertains only to the acceptance of continuing education credit for licensed professionals as outlined below, and is believed to be accurate at the time of printing.  Please Check with your State Regulatory Board if you have questions or concerns about homestudy continuing education credit acceptance not clarified by the information provided below.

While we do our best to stay current with the details of multiple boards in all 50 states, you are ultimately responsible for the acceptance or denial of your license renewal credit hours.

NOTE: Because a discipline in a state is not listed or specified on this page does not mean that these courses will not be accepted for Continuing Education Credit.

  • IF you have approval questions not specifically answered here, please contact Your State Regulatory Board for specific clarification.
  • Provide them with the Title and Description of the Courses you wish to take, AND our existing specific Board Approvals (board names and approval numbers) as listed above. This will expedite the process for you.

Fields with "NO" or left blank above may mean that:

  1. The particular Board does not pre-approve courses - but we likely meet any post-approval standards.
  2. We do not have current information - as we have not yet received word from the Board about pre-approval.
  3. That entity does not accept Independent Home Study Courses at all.
  4. They do not require continuing education at all.
  5. They have their own independent approval process that we have not yet hurdled.

Professional Development 'Specialty Certifications' of any kind are not required nor endorsed by any professional regulatory boards - because Boards only recognize their own issued credentials. However, the Continuing Education courses required to receive these Hypnosis Certifications ARE Approved and/or Accepted by the regulatory entities as detailed above.

A NOTE ON FLORIDA REQUIREMENTS:
The State of Florida requires that for a state licensed professional to practice hypnosis or hypnotherapy for therapeutic purposes, you must first complete a minimum of 50 hours of State Board Approved Coursework in clinical hypnosis practice and theory, either live or via homestudy. Our Basic (20-hour) and Advanced (30-hour) programs are both pre-approved by the Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling (Provider #723 exp. 3-31-2009), and when combined, are designed to meet this state requirement.

Textbook

Inductions and Deepeners, Styles and Approaches for Effective Hypnosis
by Richard K. Nongard, LMFT/CCH

Inductions and Deepeners by Richard K. Nongard

The Live 20-Hour Basic class contains similar course content, with the exception of hands-on in-class demonstration and practice, vs video demonstration in the homestudy version.

Live ICBCH Hypnosis Certification Classes

This 30-hour advanced Certification course is based on two extremely impressive instructive clinical hypnosis textbooks, which are included in the price and will be shipped along with the course documentation materials:

Textbook 1

In "Hypnosis in Clinical Practice," Rick Voit and Milly Delaney help both newly trained and experienced mental health professionals become more comfortable and adept in using hypnosis in their clinical practice.

Despite dramatic evidence of the effectiveness of hypnosis and its growing acceptance, only a small percentage of psychotherapists employ their hypnotherapy training in their practices. This under-use of hypnosis is due to exaggerated misconceptions about its power and the resultant performance anxiety therapists experience after their training.

This text is designed to address therapist performance anxiety surrounding the use of hypnosis by exploring the myths of its power and therapeutic potential. The integration of a straightforward systematic hypnotic approach into therapeutic practice has value both in assessment and treatment, and the professional should be comfortable with its implementation.

Textbook 2

"Trancework", by Michael Yapko, is perhaps one of the most influential new texts on the subject of clinical hypnosis. Yapko provides numerous practice exercises and assignments, and every therapist who wants to work hypnotically with clients should read this book.

This course will build on your foundations as a clinical hypnotherapist. It addresses specific modalities of intervention, how to use them, and when.

(Note: Some people question the cost of this 30-hour advanced certification program, simply because the coursework is comprised of only two textbooks. In addition to the heavy administrative requirements for processing exams and maintaining accurate student records, these books are actual textbooks - and if you've priced college textbooks lately, you know they are quite expensive - and we do not receive any discount when procuring and supplying them for your advanced education. )

ICBCH Advanced Certification

We offer this 30-hour textbook-based CEU course in addition to our 20-hour basic Certification program, for two reasons:

1.) Many hypnosis practitioners desire to receive advanced continuing education training on clinical hypnotherapy (which we encourage, because the more training you have, the better services you will provide), primarily for the reasons stated above in the course descriptions, and to enhance their ICBCH Certification status.

2.) State of Florida licensed professionals must meet a 50-hour training requirement in order to practice "hypnotherapy" for therapeutic purposes, illness, injury or disease, under Florida Statute Regulations.

Once you successfully complete the 20-hour program - and then this 30-hour program:

If you are a Certified Hypnotist (C.Ht.), and have now completed a total of 50-hours of training, you may  advance your ICBCH Certification level to the Certified Professional Hypnotist (C.P.H.) designation.
 
Licensed professionals who have already earned the Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.C.H.) recognition will then receive a new certificate denoting their endorsement of Advanced Certification (C.C.H./A.C.)
 
State of Florida licensed professionals will also have met the 50-hour training requirement for the State's "hypnotherapy" practice designation.
