Some basic courses in Vancouver and outside of Vancouver allow the student to complete the onsite require in an intensive format (5 or 6 days.)
Students attend approximately 1 weekend per month until they reach a total of 50 hours.They also have the option of continuing to attend sessions after 50 hours at a cost of $20.00/hour. The onsite sessions will have a strong focus on basic and advanced hypnotic techniques, counseling skills and other complementary approaches. There is much focus on the works of Dr. Milton Erickson as well as a strong practical component. Between onsite sessions students will be completing the Counseling course at home. This is achieved by reading "The Skilled Helper" and completing the corresponding assignments during and after the onsite sessions. Students will view video DVD's containing further instruction and actual sessions. The Practicum is the last part of the course. Here the student has an opportunity under indirect supervision to put their skills to the test. During this time the student works with 5 clients completing 5 sessions with each client and videotape 1 session with 1 client as well as other assignments and an open book exam.

The offsite portion of the course begins when the student receives the course materials which consist of :

37 page course manual
70 page Video Manual
4 DVD's (45 hours of Video)

Therapeutic Trances textbook (purchased separately)

Typically, materials are sent out before the onsite portion begins giving the student an opportunity to start the course when the materials are received.
The student continues working with those materials throughout the
onsite portion and after until he/she completes all of the assignments including a Practicum and submits them for review.
