Dates to be confirmed shortly


Note. If you miss a day or even a weekend there are various ways of catching up. Missing a further weekend, however, would be more of a problem. 

Robert's patient teaching style and ongoing supplement would be difficult to equal. Joining the course is one of the best decisions I've made.


- Shayne Rice, Nottingham


 From the teaching to the syllabus and course material, I found the course thorough, professional and highly enjoyable.  There was much opportunity to discuss the material and practice new skills with the tutor and the group so there was a good balance of theory and practice.  The best course I've ever taken! 

Helen Falconer, Nottingham


This course was a revelation, I learned a huge amount across a wide range of concepts. Robert McKinnon really practices what he preaches through his small group practical sessions with open discussion gently led by him. An excellent tutor with great results! A great foundation for a future in Mind Coaching and Clinical Hypnotherapy

Tony Dawes, Newark
