Hypnotherapy Accreditation – The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) (June 2008)
The Clifton Practice has been a leader in promoting the proper accreditation of Hypnotherapy within the National Qualifications Framework. The Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) is jointly accredited by NCFE and NCH. NCFE is an awarding body which complies with the criteria of the recognition process of the regulatory authorities including the Department of education. HPD is designated as having the NQF equivalence of level IV.

In 2008 CPHT was granted independent accreditation by NCFE enabling further courses to be fully accredited, specific areas in CBT, SFBT and NLP, important to Career Professional Development. Our CBT skills course is designated NQF equivalence Level IV (see advanced courses). NQF is currently being replaced by the qualification and Credit framework QCF (this will not affect our accreditation process).
