Thames Valley University

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Thames Valley University in respect of LCCH courses in Clinical Hypnosis.

TVU has over 140 years experience as a higher education learning provider in both the technical and vocational arena as a college of Higher education, a polytechnic and a University (1992).

From March 2008 the LCCH Certificate course will be validated as a Certificate in Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) in Clinical Hypnosis at Level 6. The LCCH and TVU are offering the CPPD in Clinical Hypnosis as an entry point qualification for a postgraduate programme leading towards a Masters degree in Clinical Hypnosis.

The next step will be a proposed post graduate programme grounded in the content of the existing LCCH Diploma course. Students successfully completing this stage will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Clinical Hypnosis.

A Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) in Clinical Hypnosis is also planned comprising the content of the existing LCCH Practitioner Diplomas in Clinical Hypnosis and, in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.

A Masters award will be available as well. This will require successful completion of a Research Methods module and a dissertation relevant to Clinical Hypnosis.

A route which will enable existing students of the LCCH to transfer into appropriate aspects of the PgCert/PgDip/MSc programme will be made available as soon as possible.

LCCH and TVU are exploring opportunities for previous LCCH students to join the PgCert/PgDip/Masters at the relevant place in these post graduate awards. This may require additional study by means of bridging courses(s).

Our collaboration with Thames Valley University is a significant step forward in our commitment to providing the highest quality training for those wishing to study Clinical Hypnosis whilst at the same time providing a higher education qualification that is recognised and trusted at the national and international level by both the established medical professions and the general public alike.
