I cannot recommend this course enough. I have learnt so many new things and have wanted to keep on learning about this fascinating subject.
I think a lot of it has to do with Trevor himself. His style of teaching is inclusive and just draws you in. He is so enthusiastic about his subjects that you can't help but catch his 'bug'. I never once felt bored or let my mind wander and that is saying a lot from someone who normally has lots of doodles on her exercise books - none whatsoever on any of my course notes - you can check!
His metaphors and 'jokes' including his deluded love of Chelsea will keep you amused if nothing else.
Trevor is incredibly knowledgeable about his topics and answers all questions put to him with honesty. He has a real gift for translating complex information into manageable small topics so that us newbies could understand without ever feeling that he is talking down to us.
I showed some of my course notes to a friend who had graduated from another well known hypnotherapy school . She told me that the standard of these notes were far superior to what she had been given and that much of the information she had to find herself.
With this course you will also have to be prepared to undergo positive changes in yourself (if you want to). I myself have become more confident and at ease with myself.
The HPD is a lot of work but it is not a pointless coursework that you will put away and forget about once it is over. You will use it all in your career if you decide to practice as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist.
Another reason for choosing the course is the amount of support you receive whilst on the course and once you have graduated. There is the forum, the assistants, the other students, monthly meetings, and ofcourse Bex and Jan who are on hand to answer even the most mundane of questions with a cheery smile or upbeat email.
I researched 11 different courses before picking this one and i can honestly say Quest exceeded all my expectations!

All the best

Hypno heaven Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy hazelballard on 15/07/2010
It takes a great trainer to deliver such a wonderfully thought provoking, life changing course such as this. There was never a moment when I wasn't convinced that this was abosutely the BEST course to embark on. It has been said by many that the course content and delivery was exceptional but I would also like to mention that Trevor and Bex have created much more than a brilliant learning tool which I personally am very proud to be a part of.

Highly recommended Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy nickjenkins on 14/07/2010
When I first started thinking of training in hypnotherapy, I was baffled by the variety of options available. Then someone pointed me in the direction of Quest, and it certainly seemed to be what I was looking for: thorough, but not over-long, and focused on equipping graduates to go out and actually practise in future.
First impressions were spot-on. The training is first-class (thanks to Trevor, who is truly a great communicator) and well-organised (thanks to Bex and Jan). A good balance of theory and practice, and enough content to make it comfortably possible to pass the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma - if you choose to, as it's optional - with its hefty word count.
Each month I genuinely looked forward to the Quest weekends, and I met some lovely people. I shall miss our monthly get-togethers - but that's another good thing about Quest. There is a Quest network out there, linked by the website, that will allow those of us who want to to keep in touch and support each other.
If you are thinking of training in hypnotherapy, you should definitely give serious consideration to signing up with Quest. You won't regret it.

Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy patduckworth on 12/07/2010
I have just completed the Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy and can strongly recommend to anyone with an interest in NLP and hypnotherapy.
Although I have been interested in complementary therapies and NLP for many years I am so pleased that I finally took the plunge to study a course of this depth and breadth. The teaching was excellent as were the teaching materials and the ongoing support. The Quest Student Forum is a great resource for students and graduates.
As well as the skills and techniques I have learnt, I have made a number of new friends and I know we will continue to support each other as we move forwards in our personal journeys.
During the past 10 months I have moved from being a long term civil servant to starting up as self-employed therapist and I feel not just prepared but excited to get going.

this is an amazing course Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy libbygriffiths on 19/04/2010
This is not just a course that could potentially change your career; it will almost definitely change your entire life and outlook too. The Quest team are all incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, making each weekend an absolute pleasure (even on a Sunday with a hangover). The ongoing support and friendship via the on-line forum, supervision and regular Quest meetings means that even after the course has finished, you will still feel very much involved and motivated to make your dreams a reality.
Brilliant!

Review of Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy Course
Simply put this is a great course, incredible material that covers so effectively so many areas regarding, hypnotherapy, therapy and self-improvement.
After 3 years training as a counsellor I wanted to expand my abilities not only as a therapist but also for my own self-improvement. I almost gave up after searching the Internet and seeing pictures of graduates of weekend or weeklong courses on hypnosis outside hotels in Milton Keynes.
I wanted a course that not only informed me but also inspired me to want to do more…….it felt like it was never going to happen…..then a friend mentioned Quest and Cognitive Hypnotherapy…..so I did a search…
Well I clicked on the link and somehow landed on the page with a picture of Barney…..(Trevor and Bex's very cute dog), I was a bit confused and initially wondered if I come across Hypnotherapy for Dogs!!!
I found the home page and was hooked……
Over 10 months it has fulfilled all my expectations of inspiring me, informing me and helping me to grow not only professionally but personally as well….
I could go over all the incredible material we have covered and how I found it so amazing but that would not be a review but a dissertation. However not only did I learn about Cognitive Hypnotherapy with the natural infusion of NLP but also the wider world of Neuro Sciences, Psychology and Energy Therapy.
Trevor is a great teacher, presenter, mentor and a friend because that's how he makes all feel.
The measure of a great teacher is that the learning feels effortless, inspiring and creative, and that's how it feels working and learning from Trevor.
However there is a great team with Trevor with such dedication that I am often humbled by it, they are Bex, Jan, Julie and assistants……
Lastly the assistants……what better a measure of a course then its assistants.
These guys offer their time freely over the 10 months to help the students. Who are these guys? Well they are fellow Questies who have finished and want to give back some of what they have been given….
Any course that leaves you wanting to give back to other students in such committed way is a wonderful recommendation.
The Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy course is without doubt one of my best decisions it has opened many more doors of possibilities and ways of working. It goes beyond instructing in how to be a hypnotherapist but how to become a unique Cognitive Hypnotherapist that is a refection of who you are as an individual. Oh and a phew drinks and plenty of laughs…..
Thanks guys I give you 5 stars, an Oscar and a Flapjack (for Barney…Grrrr)!!!!

Cognitive Hypnotherapy Course Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy stuartsmith on 08/03/2010
This is a quite incredible course. Trevor and Bex bring warmth, humour, passion and authenticity to the course. Trevor's delivery ensures that every session is brimming with well researched academic theories and new ideas whilst providing opportunities for all to contribute. More than that it allows you to broaden your horizons, meet some wonderful people and truly open your eyes to life and all it has to offer. An outstanding experience.
Thank you
Stuart Smith:)

One of the best steps I have taken Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy seetahaider on 22/02/2010
If I could in any way sum up what this course has done for me and how it has benefitted others, I would....but there are no words that I can use that would come close to describing the way it has helped me and those around me.
The course is run by Trevor - one of the best trainers I have come across. Not only does he engage you in every step of the training but your involvement in the course it right from the minute you meet and greet at Module 1. Trevor makes you feel so comfortable in the questions you may raise and provides great room for dialogue, makes you laugh (esp. me) endlessly) and there's is not a weekend I have missed or would have dreamt of missing...I had so much fun. I have learnt so much and I just can't wait to share that learning with the world. Every step I take and every word (most words) I say, I have learnt the impact they may have and so have used the knoweldge I have gained to work more effectively at home and outside.
The HPD seemed really difficult, and that was because I kept dreading the htought of it...but once I got started, there was no stopping me and it was done...The support quest gives is amazing and without a doubt, you can say it is the support you would expect a family to give.....that is perhaps how i would sum up the feeling I get from the institute and particularly from Trevor. He and Bex both have provided a fantastic platform to build a career from, and most importantly, provided a great opportunity for a personal journey for all of us.
I look forward to being part of Quest...

Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy Diploma in Cognitive HypnotherapyBy davidlewis on 01/02/2010
I thoroughly recommend Quest to all established psychotherapists or counsellors (of any modality) who are looking to enhance their therapeutic practice by adding hypnotherapy to their skills set. I have found that I have been able to integrate Cognitive Hypnotherapy seamlessly into my private practice (and what's more, my clients love it!). Obviously, Cognitive Hypnotherapy can also be offered as a modality of therapy in its own right - and I am increasingly doing this with clients who express a preference for short-term solution-focused work (this is, let's face it, what most prospective clients yearn for, and as a direct result, my client base is expanding and I have never been busier!). When I had been thinking about further training before joining Quest, I had been very tempted, like many psychotherapists, to jump on the CBT bandwagon. Looking back, I consider myself so fortunate that a colleague pointed me in the direction of Quest instead. The course's core philosophy chimes with everything I believe about therapy - namely that we work with our clients' models of the world and not our own.
