What's Included in the Program?
National Guild of Hypnotists Certification
The best and most versatile Hypnosis certification available. This certification can only be attained through teaching institutes following the National Guild of Hypnotists guidelines. We have been offering this certification now since 2009 and have figured out the best way to teach this material so you can learn quickly, easily, and get certified!
Northwest Hypnosis Institute Extended Training Certification
Our course goes beyond just the NGH guidelines. Because of this, by completing our course in its entirety you qualify for a second, extended training certification. With our thorough approach, we make sure you are well prepared to take clients, make an impact, and make money with hypnosis.
Learn from Home Format
You don't have to travel to our classes. No renting a hotel or making arrangements. Our live classes come straight into your living room, kitchen, and onto your dining room table. Easy access, from the comfort of your own home, and connected to students from all over learning the same material and sharing the same journey.
Only LIVE classes
Nothing pre-recorded here. You would learn piano by watching videos of someone else playing piano, would you? You need to do it for yourself to really learn.
That's why our classes are 100% live with no pre-recorded material. The instructor is there every day to make sure you understand each step, can ask questions as they come up, and get the experience you need to learn.
Training in 3 Types of Hypnosis
Many hypnosis schools offer training in a single hypnosis modality, but we ensure that you learn 3 different types. First, you will learn classical Trance Hypnosis. Second, you will learn how to change lives with Conversational Hypnosis. Finally, you will be trained in the powerful and revolutionary technique called Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Together, these form an amazing foundation to start offering a variety of sessions to your future clients. Different people require different tools. We make sure you have a full toolkit from the get-go.
Direct Contact with a Master Hypnosis Teacher
It's no secret that if you want to learn to be the best, you need to learn from the best. Bruce is not only a master at hypnosis after decades of experience, but he also is a master at breaking down the concepts to make them easy to understand.
Take this recent testimonial as proof:
"Bruce is amazing! He is the best kind of teacher– not only is he effective in teaching concepts and challenging ideas, but he also has the uncanny ability to inspire and empower students simply by being the person that he is.”

Full A-Z Training
(No additional levels)
Many hypnosis courses offer levels. Their business model is teach you a bit, then charge you for the next piece and charge you again for the one after that. We are not fans of that approach.
So we spill the beans from the beginning. You will learn everything you need to know and we will take you from A all the way to Z. No previous experience required and no additional levels to purchase later.
Our Marketing Playbook
You need a skill to offer first. And quickly after you will need strategies for how to bring that skill to market. The last thing you want is to pay for a certification and then get stuck without knowing how to actually offer that skill to the world and get paid for you talent.
We've got your back. We have a marketing playbook that you can follow step by step

What Our Students Say
"I was thinking about something this morning… And one of the best things that ever did for myself was take a Hypnosis Course… to get my degree in Hypnotherapy.
Doing that, allowed me to change my thought patterns and give me the courage to change my life. I’m sharing this because I was just talking about this earlier with my mother and how this profoundly changed my life.
My life today has truly truly been blessed, and I owe this a lot to Bruce Terrill.This man was truly a best thing in my life, and for this, I think you from the bottom of my heart. I am living the dream and completely happy, and in control of my life. Thank you!!!"
-Heidi Welch, Certified Hypnotherapist
"Bruce is amazing! He is the best kind of teacher– not only is he effective in teaching concepts and challenging ideas, but he also has the uncanny ability to inspire and empower students simply by being the person that he is. Thanks to Bruce, I became certified in hypnotherapy. But more importantly, I felt like I learned a lot about the nature of the human mind and how to experience lasting satisfaction and happiness in life. Life is all self-hypnosis, and Bruce helped us realize that we could be in the driver’s seat of life by putting into practice the art of hypnosis. For which, I feel immeasurable gratitude."
-Kieran McManus, Certified Hypnotherapist, Portland, OR
"Bruce’s hypnosis training class was truly life changing for me. Before class started I knew that I would be learning what I needed to know to become a confident and effective hypnotherapist. What I didn’t know was how profoundly the class and hypnosis would change me! I am more calm, centered, confident and open to accepting and inviting changes in my own life. I have been looking for a career in which I could help people and truly enjoy my work, and I have found it. Thank you to Bruce for his impressive hands-on training and for instilling in us the confidence to practice hypnosis. I am looking forward to taking more specialized classes with Bruce!"
-Jeanine Seger, Hypnotherapist, Gilbert, Arizona
"Bruce is one of the most amazing teachers I have ever had. He teaches his class and meets with clients with the utmost respect and integrity, always acutely aware of and responding to each individual’s needs in every moment. He creates a fun and relaxing environment in class; a place where I always looked forward to going to no matter how stressed out my life was. His class went way above and beyond what I expected and what was required by NGH. I am forever grateful to Bruce for providing such a rich experience and fertile ground for personal growth and for learning the skills needed for a successful hypnotherapy practice. After taking his class, I feel confident with what I learned to be able to help people make incredible changes in their lives and to continue making changes in my own life as well. Thank you Bruce!"
-Rose Ludwig, RN, Portland, OR
