Our Practitioner Training Program assumes no prior knowledge or experience in any therapeutic modality.  Due to its comprehensive structure, there are no formal academic, professional or experiential skills required to undertake our training.  There are however, several prerequisites that are mandatory.

These include:

A genuine interest in helping people to help themselves

The course is specifically designed for people who have a genuine interest in becoming effective, professional 'people helpers'.  It is not a 'self help' course and it is not for those with only a 'passing' or 'self interest'.  It is explicitly designed as a 'vocational training program'.

A solid sense of personal integrity and ethics

It is essential that students are 'well centred', congenial individuals, with a natural predisposition to high ethical and moral standards.

A genuine undertaking to complete the program with the express intention of working professionally as a Registered P.S.H. Therapist

Intending students should be prepared to give their best efforts and have a genuine desire to attend and complete all parts of all training modules and the required course work.  Although the school cannot force graduates to practise professionally, the entire program is structured with this goal in mind.  Those who demonstrate genuine initiative are given the support and assistance necessary to successfully complete their training and graduate as professional practitioners.

A willingness to complete an intensive course of formal study

Successful completion of the program requires a dedicated commitment.  In addition to the time spent during the training modules, students are required to complete several written and recorded assignments and carry out home (or clinic) practise.

Adequate literacy skills & academic ability to successfully complete the required training program

There is a considerable amount of reading and written work involved in the assignments and the theoretical and written assessment sections of the program.  All applicants are considered on a case by case basis, although the equivalent of 'year 12’ secondary educational level is generally considered a minimum requirement.

An acceptance of the need for a purity of therapeutic approach

We do not expect students to abandon other modalities or methods they may currently use.  However, when P.S.H. is indicated and used correctly, it is usually very important to use it on its own, in any given therapeutic intervention.  P.S.H. does not lend itself to 'mixing & matching' with other techniques.

A commitment to undertake post graduate development

Graduates are encouraged to join the Australasian Subconscious-mind Therapists' Association (ASTA).  Membership of the Association requires continuing self-development and professional instruction in the form of workshops, seminars and appropriate external education programs.
