AAPH Study Groups

Let me guess: there are more than a few books on your shelf (or online books) that you have wanted to read that would help you professionally, but it is a challenge to find the time. Or, even if you find the time, it is tough to keep treading through it, chapter by chapter, learning everything from it that you could be learning.

What would help is to have a learning buddy. People learn better in groups, and more reading gets done if you are reading and discussing things chapter-by-chapter and week-by-week in an informal yet organized group.

We call them study groups. Here's how they work:

• Choose from the study groups listed. Each is organized around a book or course and already has an organized study plan and study question set.


• Sign up for as many or as few study groups as you like. When a group has enough members (whatever the minimum, as required by the group setting), everyone will be notified and the study group will start. You can specify how many study groups you can be in at once, so once you are in an active group, the system will automatically keep you from being in another group starting up until your present group is finished.


• Read the chapter each week and come online to answer the week's question. You'll be able to see the answers from your study buddies, and leave comments, discussion and feedback. Optionally, attend the weekly chat session or voice conference call.


• Automatic email reminders can be sent to you to help you stay on track and remember group time.


• When you have completed the book, you'll optionally receive a certificate for continuing education hours. Print a certificate from your computer for free, or get a paper certificate mailed to you for a small fee.


• AAPH are available for technical support or questions about the study groups during normal business hours.

Study groups are FREE to AAPH members, and except for optional live chat sessions, can be managed on your own schedule.

Meet other AAPH members while learning new skills and knowledge to support your success as a professional hypnotherapist: from business to marketing to hypnosis techniques and methods to technology and Internet skills.

Watch for the group function controls and messages in the left-panel when you are on a group page. After requesting to join a group, you'll be notified by email when the group makes its minimum number. Congrats on moving forward with your continuing education and I hope to chat with you in one of the groups! --Katin
