Hi

I'm considering the practitioner training and have been reading up on how the courses are delivered to couples by HB practitioners, costs involved, pricing structures etc.

There seems to be alot of material that is given out to couples such as books, CD's, course materials etc. Can anyone tell me how much all this costs per couple?

Many thanks

Umesh

Hi, you can find the cost of materials such as books/CDs on the .com site - the prices are the same for practitioners as general public (you will need to pay postage and customs charges to the UK too).

To be honest these are probably the smallest part of the cost though, the following soon adds up:

-Room/hall/hotel hire costs or if at your own home public liability insurance/electricity/heating, plus refreshments etc..(and set up of a practice room if you don't have one already)

-Advertising costs

-Promotional materials (leaflets/cards)

-Website, design and monthly hosting

-membership to the HypnoBirthing Institute

-Cost of original training/ ongoing training/professional development in order to meet the criteria for re-certification (you will have to purchase a lot of the books on the reading list as many won't be available from standard libraries).

-Cost of class materials - educational DVDs/videos to show, CDs to play in class, class materials such as flipcharts/diagrams/models - lots of practitioners give out handouts too so add on photocopying charges/printer ink and paper plus something to keep the handouts in.

-Admin costs (cost of accountant/book-keeper/NI contributions etc.. if not already self employed).

-Childcare for admin and teaching times if you have children yourself.
