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 the I.C.S.T.R. (QLD) P.S.H. Practitioner Training Program, however there are several prerequisites that are mandatory.

These include:

This 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'.

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

Intending students should be fully prepared to give their best efforts and (those doing the full course) 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. Students who demonstrate genuine initiative are given the support and assistance necessary to successfully complete the course and graduate as professional practitioners.

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

There is a considerable amount of reading and written work involved in the home assignments, 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.

We do not expect students to abandon other modalities or methods they may currently utilise. 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.

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