Member Certification Examination
Requirements


This is the basic qualification for certified membership
with the Society of Experiential Trance.

Note the required number of demonstrations for each skill in each type of Examination. Live Exams should be scheduled with a Certified Examiner. Please note that Video Exams require that the hypnotist work with a minimum of five different trance partners. Periodically, special intensive review courses are offered in which participants are allowed a streamlined variation of the Video Exam requiring only one trance partner and one demonstration of each skillset. See certification guidelines for further information.

Society of Experiential Trance Institute The Online Institute at www.TrancSociety.org/institute.html periodically adds new course offerings for basic certification as well as advanced specialist programs with the Society of Experiential Trance for Continuing Education Unit credit, certifications of completion, professional specialization certification, and much more. This dynamic growing program is poised to expand over the coming years.

For those looking for an intensive review to supplement live training or a distance learning option, the a comprehensive online version of our comprehensive Core Hypnosis Skills is available via the Online Institute at www.TrancSociety.org/institute.html. This program includes explanations and demonstrations for all of the skillsets required for Certification as a Hypnotist member with the Society of Experiential Trance (please note, the video program also contains a number of other methods in addition to the minimum required for SET certification). This video program is available via our partner store at briandavidphillips.net/store/store-set or via the direct link at here.

Candidates who have taken a live course with an SET Certified Instructor have one year to finish their Hypnotist Certification requirements by submitting and passing an exam (live or video). Additionally, if they submit a video examination for evaluation by their instructor, the number of demonstrations required are the same as those indicated in the Course or Live column rather than those indicated in the Video exam column. If they complete their Hypnotist Certification requirements within one year, then the Hypnotist Certification is gratis. Those who elect not to become Certified Hypnotist members may receive a Certificate of Completion for their course instead, if they are enroll as non-certified Associate Members of the SET.
