The Live Webcast Diploma
The webcast format, run live over Zoom, has proved highly effective and engaging. Student satisfaction ratings are higher than for the previous live London trainings, assessment scores are higher too, and you learn to do therapy online as you train.
This page covers the format of the Diploma. For content, curriculum and approach, see the Diploma overview.
“I got more out of the Zoom webcast course than a classroom training! Simply because you can focus more on what you are learning. It is almost like a one to one. This works better for me as a learning tool than an in-person course.”
Steven Irvine

“I would highly recommend the Live Webcast method of doing the Diploma. It’s exceeded my expectations in being able to fully participate remotely. The increased convenience and the use of electronic technology has benefitted my learning experience. Also, I’m much impressed with the academic and practical rigour involved in the course content, as well as the quality of tutors and their dedication to the profession. Their and Mark’s insights are inspiring and hugely beneficial.”

What current students say
“I was totally enthralled by the webcast teaching. Having done a week in-person training, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was extremely impressive and the learning was the same – if not better – as you are in the comfort of your own home. The course was positively instructive, detailed and thoroughly explained. We were able to practice in virtual private rooms which completed the experience. Highly recommended.”
Karen Farhat, PhD, Transpersonal Counsellor
“The overall structure of the course and the way it has been presented is outstanding in my view. The folder of information – extensive manuals and printed PowerPoints – sent prior to the webcast commencing is extremely helpful to make notes as you go along. The level of detail, staff knowledge and variation of delivery is absolutely fantastic and extremely engaging.”
Natalie Day, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist in training
“I was so impressed with how well the course ran via webcast! The teachers worked really hard to ensure that the course was accessible, enjoyable and interactive. I am really excited about this new path I am taking. Thank you to all at the College.”
