Very Informative, the only issue is I thought I could use this to get accredited through the hypnotherapy national groups but this course is not on their list.
By Taliesin ap Ceridwen on 2/15/2026
So, I'm currently at about lecture 85 - so, around 20 hours in... and I'll update when I get to the end. However, the course in general is pretty good. It's not entirely what I expected, but that's not a negative. There's a LOT of theory to get through in the first few hours, and still more afterwards. The practicals are good, as are the demonstrations with Karen. Kain takes a slightly different approach to other hypnotherapy courses, focussing more on simple tools (without a very deep hypnotic trance - so far). It does feel that the course hadn't been fully planned out - or at least, there's a lot of lectures for which the point or use of it isn't made clear as it's being taught (let alone before then). BUT... one thing that's REALLY pissing me off about this course is that around 5 years ago, ALL questions were answered with a copy and paste of "join our Facebook group and ask there". It does appear that more recently, questions have been answered (although I'm still awaiting a couple). I REALLY wish Kain and Achology would go back to all of those questions and answer them appropriately, so that OTHER students can learn from them withOUT having to join an FB group... You get me??

This course exceeded my expectations — even the ones I didn’t know I had when I signed up. I’m truly satisfied. It provided me with practical tools and was well adapted to my learning style, which is both rare and valuable for me. It gave me a deeper understanding of the purpose of hypnosis and, above all, made me want to start practicing right from the first modules — instead of just collecting academic knowledge, as I’m used to. I plan to revisit the modules to keep practicing, and I’m looking forward to continuing my learning journey with the Person-Centred Counselling Course, along with further reading on Clean Language, Gerard Egan’s approach, and metaphors — I can’t wait! The most reassuring part for me: during my first practice sessions with people close to me, I didn’t "break" anyone (thankfully!), and I’ve received really positive feedback over the past few weeks — even if I’m still working on fluency. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, especially for the deep introspective work it encourages. That aspect extended the duration of the course for me (I completed it in two months), but it also made me grow immensely. Special mention for the Socratic questions and the Life Story Worksheet — I absolutely loved them!

By Diana Schenkel on 2/12/2021
Thank you Kain for this fantastic, very informative course. I found it helpful that you demonstrated the processes on Karin and Cinzia and added personal stories. One especially confirmed my belief that serving people is more important than running after money and status symbols. I learned very much through this course and hope to help people.

Splendid!
By Paul Regan on 11/1/2020
Love it. All takes a while to make sense of but when it comes together. I can see why the course has been structured the way it is. Thank you
By Shelly Kittell on 10/19/2020
Kain is great. I have vision and hearing issues. I do have to use the transcript at times. The low rating is for the transcript. It sucks! How about Udemy gets a system or uses humans to transcribe. The errors are atrocious and it makes it hard for me to read and understand. As for the class., that will be a 5. I love Kain as a teacher. His classes are wonderful.
