We are the only exclusively member association available so as to initiate a higher standard in the training and

competence of Hypnotherapy Practitioners. The A.I.A. sets the standard in hypnotherapy certifications.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON CERTIFICATIONS

certification as a way of becoming part of a larger organization that can document that they are a professional in their field. Some boast to be the largest, the oldest or even the most prestigious. Some associate their names with doctors, mental-health professionals and even dentists. These associations will give you a certification / diploma to put on your wall for your clients to see, thereby giving them a form of security that they are being treated by a competent practitioner. How can any association or organization ensure the highest standard of their members training if they have never met or trained them, and do not physically check into their credentials or background? This is the exact case unfortunately with the majority of association benefits that are offered today. Even though many of these associations do have their own in-house training, they still allow any outsiders that that wish to join to do so by simply filling out an application and sending in a fee. After all, in business, the way to grow and make money is by offering your product to as many as possible. This may be a sound business practice but not a good one in the area of certification!

S TO FOLLOW . . 4. A.I.A. Certification Includes: * A beautiful certificate of completion to proudly hang in your office from both the AIA and the ASH. * A personal membership card. * Our CD of 200 + new, "original" scripts that you can use in your own practice.

Before you choose a school or certification there are important items to consider. First, what is your purpose for joining an association or certifying body? Of course one reason would be for the networking with other professionals in your field, but the most important reason to join is for some form of validation or regulation by a qualified third party. As you may or may not be aware of, presently there is "NO" form of federal regulation for hypnotherapy professionals. Therefore most practicing hypnosis professionals opt to join some form of association

* Inclusion on our national referral database. * Inclusion on our informative website upon request. * Unlimited access to our knowledgeable online and phone support to aid in your future success with advice and information on marketing, conducting sessions, business building and many other subjects of interest. * Availability to affordable malpractice insurance. * An invitation to become part of our association of over 100 Hypnosis Centers nationally which will assist you by becoming part of a larger organization which will give you immediate credibility, referrals and networking assistance in your new practice. * Our monthly publication with articles, updates and the latest breaking hypnosis news and techniques. * Access to our online store of CD's, books and metaphysical items. . . . and much more as you can see listed below. * An invitation to attend our yearly conference to learn many advanced topics from professionals in the field.

never get from reading only what has been gained through this class. Rene's mixture of experience is so vast and is shared so

positively that the approach lends itself to learning , understanding and moving forward. I plan to ultimately change my

career and direct my newly realized energies to helping people.

I learned about Rene through Adult Education. His teachings were so fascinating and such an awakening that I wanted

and needed more. Thank you Rene for teaching me and showing me the way to make hypnosis make positive change in

people's lives. "

people throughout hypnosis. Rene's course was very informative and the hands on training was nothing short of remarkable.

I feel confident that I will be able to help many people help themselves to a better live"

"At one point in my life I just felt the need to attend a hypnosis class in order to help people in all kinds of different

situations. Research showed me that the American International Association is just the most solid organization in the whole

world. It has been years since I was at any school and I expected a class-setting but also an authoritative way of teaching.

The way Rene taught was different than my expectation. Rene taught in a very liberate way, hands on and very explanatory.

Any time I would have a question, Rene would take the time to explain how and why. It was a very nice experience. I would

like to thank Rene and Raluca for their nice course and their hospitality."
