Summary of review and consultation process
Representatives of the hypnotherapy sector called a meeting in July 2000 of all known hypnotherapy associations and schools in New Zealand, advertising publicly to ensure full coverage. The meeting formed the Hypnotherapy Industry Advisory Group with representation of all 11 hypnotherapy organisations, and decided that a review of the existing NQF unit standards and qualification was required. The review was conducted at the expense of the sector over several years. NQS assisted with the later part of the process.
The unit standards have been reconstructed to better reflect the needs of the industry to train professional and competent hypnotherapy practitioners. The existing qualification includes unit standards requiring knowledge and competency in physical examination, beyond what is appropriate for hypnotherapists. The review of the qualification will follow this review, but in anticipation, a new unit standard was developed which combined knowledge from several Core Health unit standards limited to hypnotherapy requirements.
