When it comes to becoming a hypnotherapist, training requirements and state registration requirements vary greatly around the world, ranging from no qualifications being required to practice right up to needing to be a state-certified professional in the field of mental health.
Those interested in becoming a hypnotherapist should first research the laws in their district and then consider joining a professional organisation that can guide them in proper training and offer a central code of ethics and disciplinary procedure that they can commit to. This provides assurance to clients and a good ethical framework for the therapist in question.
Professional organizations usually have their own set of guidelines and code of ethics to abide by, and require a number of hours of professional development every year to ensure the highest quality in treatment. Many hypnotherapists undertake this kind of professional development and will continue to do it until they stop practicing. Hypnotherapists have special licensing boards that were born as early as 1980.

ACHE. Look at what happened with respect to the licensing laws in Indiana, thanks to Gil's organization, or, at least his organization's representative there who spearheaded that initiative AROUND the efforts of COPHO and the AFL-CIO.
Because of their sterling attempt at grabbing all of the goodies for themselves, NOBODY can now become licensed in Indiana because they screwed up the legislation AND the educational program - and now the State won't move to FIX the boondoggle!
Thanks ACHE! We ALL appreciate your efforts in behalf "of the betterment of hypnotists, everywhere!"
NOT!
