You’re considering a career switch to hypnotherapy to make a real impact. Because we start from the basics on day one and build everything step by step—including the tools you need to start your own practice – you can join with confidence, even without any prior knowledge.
You already have a solid theoretical foundation (for example, through Jung, NLP, or mainstream psychology), but you’ve noticed that talking alone isn’t always enough. Students often refer to our method as “the icing on the cake”, because it gives you a tool that allows you not only to analyze, but also to act directly and purposefully to find solutions.
You want to deepen your current approach and guide your clients even more effectively. You will learn how to safely and purposefully utilize the subconscious to transform limiting beliefs and emotional baggage.
You are looking for a scientifically informed method to support your regular treatments. You don’t have time for vague theories; you want targeted, professional knowledge that you can quickly put into practice. Good to know: we also offer a specific Medical Hypnosis Training, which is entirely focused on addressing anxiety, stress, and pain in a medical setting. There is also a one-day training courseMindTalk® for communicating differently with patients. This OMNI hypnotherapy training focuses specifically on the more therapeutic side. You will learn to work with regression and to systematically address deep-seated emotional blocks and behavior. The ISO 9001-certified protocol also aligns perfectly with the structured approach you are accustomed to in healthcare.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Training Program
What is the best hypnosis training in the Netherlands?
The best training is the one that matches your background and goals. HypnoseMentor offers accredited programs at various levels – from the international OMNI Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Training to Medical Hypnosis and multiple advanced specializations. Each course combines hands-on practice, evidence-based content, and personal guidance to help you work confidently and professionally with hypnosis.
Are the trainings accredited or officially recognized?
Yes. All our programs are KTNO-accredited, and HypnoseMentor adheres to the NRTO code of conduct. Many courses are also recognized by professional associations such as VBAG, VIV, NVST, FAGT, and CAT Register Trainings (see the respective training page for current accreditations).
How much does a hypnosis training cost?
The cost depends on the level and duration of the training. Short specializations start at a few hundred euros, while the complete professional OMNI training is higher in price due to the number of class days, materials, and certification. You can find detailed pricing on each training page.
Can I learn hypnosis if I am a psychologist, coach, or therapist?
Absolutely. Many of our students are psychologists, coaches, therapists, or healthcare professionals who wish to integrate hypnosis into their existing practice. Our courses complement your expertise and provide effective tools to enhance your work with clients.
What do you learn in a medical hypnosis training?
In the Medical Hypnosis Training you learn to apply hypnosis as a supportive method in medical contexts – for example, with pain perception, anxiety, or recovery. The course is designed for (para)medical professionals and is based on scientific research. Hypnosis is used complementarily and does not replace medical care.
How long does a hypnosis training take?
This varies from one-day specializations to multi-month professional programs. Each training page specifies the duration, study load, and class format (in-person or online learning).
What are the admission requirements?
For the basic hypnosis training you do not need any prior experience; motivation and interest are sufficient. Advanced courses typically require the OMNI training or equivalent background. Each course page lists specific requirements.
Where are the trainings held?
Our trainings are held in Amsterdam and Oosterhout (NL). We also regularly organize sessions in Belgium and provide in-company programs for hospitals, schools, and organizations.
I can’t believe the magic that has unfolded over these 8 days. Amazing. We are now hypnotherapists.
