1. Use a search engine to look for hypnosis training schools.
2. Visit their web pages to get a general overview of what they offer.
3. Then go to some of the following places to ask questions about their training programs and instructors and support programs.

           a. Yahoo groups with hypnosis in their subject. (for example, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/hypnosis-hypnotherapy)
           b. Hypnosis newsgroups (alt.hypnosis, alt.hypnotherapy etc.)
           c. Call local hypnotists in your area and ask who they would recommend for either live or home-study training.

Above all, ASK Questions of EVERYONE you can! Hypnosis training is expensive and you don't want to throw your money away. I can't tell you how many times people have told us, "I wish I knew about your training before I spent all my money on a class that did not teach me what I needed to do the work successfully."

To search for information on our training school and programs, suggested search terms would be:

1. Omni Hypnosis Training Center
2. Omni Hypnosis Center
3. Gerald Kein
4. Jerry Kein
5. Gerry Kein

Again, when searching, look for what people are saying about the training center, NOT what the center is saying about themselves.

Question: A school in my area is holding a weekend course and says I will be able to call myself a "Hypnotherapist" and know everything I need to open a professional practice. Is this true!

Answer: These types of trainings have been around for a long time. Again, common sense tells us that "If something sounds to good to be true, it usually is." These "trainings" are usually used as a hook to talk you into taking a $3-$5,000 or more mail order "Doctor or PhD course. NONE of these courses are recognized by ANY state. More and more states are calling these titles both misleading advertising and unfair trade practices. Don't let yourself fall into this financial and potential legal trap. Plus, think about it, do you really think you can become a skilled hypnosis professional in two days?

Question: I see all sorts of letters after hypnotists names, what do they mean?

Answer: Good question. Lets see if I can give a short but thorough answer. Some of the titles being used are:

1. CH = Certified Hypnotist
2. CHT = Certified Hypnotherapist
3. CCH = Certified Clinical Hypnotist (or Hypnotherapist)
4. MH = Master Hypnotist
5. CMH = Certified Master Hypnotist
6. DCH = Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy (You'll potentially get in real legal trouble with this one)

And, the list goes on and on. Again, since our profession is not licensed or regulated, technically, anyone could use or invent any title they like as long as the title is not protected by state law. (Doctor, Psychologist, Mental Health Counselor etc.)

Now, the reality of these titles is, recognized national professional hypnosis organizations are trying to get everyone to use the same titles based on the level of training achieved. In general, the following is the way most truly professional groups issue their certificates:

1. After completing a basic training the student would use the title "Hypnotist."
2. After completing advanced training the title would be generally "Certified Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist."
3. After completion of an advanced specialized "Clinical" training the title would be, "Certified Clinical Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist."
4. The terms "Master" is irrelevant and has no real meaning.
5. The term "Doctor or PHD (unless earned in another state licensed vocation) has no legal standing and represents no statement of approved, accredited education. You can buy these on the internet even if you never graduated grammar school. They, in fact, are a total embarrassment to our profession. The only thing these degrees will do for you is lighten your wallet.

Question: Ok, tell the truth. Does hypnosis really work?

Answer: Another great question. I like your candor. The quick answer is a resounding yes! It is said hypnosis is the 2nd oldest profession in the world. In my over forty years in the work, I have seen astounding changes, discoveries and growth in the work. For example, today we now know how to induce deep trance in just about everyone in just seconds. Hypnotherapies have been developed in both the medical and psychological fields that are creating fast and dramatic transformations in the doctor's patients. Most people think hypnosis is just used for smoking or weight loss but the reality is it can be used to heal so many other situations I could write about it all day. We are teaching more and more doctors in our classes all the time. The acceptance by the medical and psychological professions is astounding. We are using it to improve every aspect of human motivation and behavior. Hypnosis sports improvement is becoming extremely popular with professional athletes. I personally have trained over 350 women to have their babies totally pain free! Yes......It really does work!

Question: Is it really possible to make a living in the hypnosis profession?

Answer: Let me answer this as truthfully as I possibly can. First, three things are necessary to give ANY business the opportunity to grow and prosper.

1. The person must have the necessary skills to be successful in doing the job.
2. They must have enough personal funds to invest into his business. (Undercapitalization is the major cause of business failure.)
3. They must understand and be able to use the marketing skills required to get the business up and running.

At the Omni Hypnosis Training Center, we teach you the necessary skills and will give you some outstanding marketing methods that should get you up and running very quickly. Many of our former students are enjoying excellent lifestyles in this wonderful profession. Just a few of the ways you can earn a fine income are:

1. See 8-10 clients per day at a minimum of $100 per session.
2. Hold small group sessions 10-25 people @ $50.00 each twice a day.
3. Teach Self-Hypnosis classes to groups in the evenings.
4. Work in doctors offices with their patients.
5. Give smoking or weight sessions in hotels, hospitals or corporations.
6. After your primary training, train as a stage hypnotist and work on cruse ships, nightclubs, schools, weddings etc.
7. Eventually, open your own hypnosis school and become an instructor for a national hypnosis organization

The truth is, the list of how you can make a living with hypnosis is endless. If you love to help people and make a great living hypnosis could be for you.

Question: What kind of post-class support training does Omni offer?

Answer: When you become an Omni graduate, you will be far from alone. Just a few of your post-training benefits include:

1. We are just a phone call away. We are happy to answer any questions and give recommendations as they come up.
   
2. Omni has the largest home-study video source of anyone in the world and we are adding to this information base constantly to keep you up to date on the newest information as soon as it is available.
   
3. This is great! Upon becoming an Omni graduate, you are eligible to join our "Omni-grads" internet group. Although many others less skilled in the profession would love to join this group, it's limited to Omni Hypnosis graduates ONLY! It's like you joined a family of similarly trained and minded friends. We not only chat with each other but you can ask a "how to" question 24/7 and have a bunch of folks give you how they handled a similar problem successfully. This is a fabulous resource and support group. You, like others, will develop lifelong friendships here. We love to meet in person at professional conventions or if close develop luncheons or monthly meetings.

These are just a few of the questions we are asked. If you have any other questions, just call us at 386-738-9188.   We will quickly get you a answer and add it to this list.
