SCEH Academy: 
Fast Track for Certification, Re-Certification and Credentialing

The SCEH Academy is designed to help professionals gather the continuing education that they need toward SCEH Clinical Hypnosis and Academic/Research Hypnosis Certification and also toward SCEH re-certification or credentialing. These events are available as inexpensive sources of training, with no travel required.

For example, professionals seeking SCEH Certification must acquire 11 hours of clinical/experimental hypnosis research training. The SCEH Academy programs will provide six hours of research coursework, and additional programs will be scheduled over the coming year. (Three of the research webinars will be conducted in the first half of 2026; others will be added later in 2026.) In addition, professionals seeking SCEH Certification must acquire 3 hours of ethics training, and the Academy makes available a total of six hours of ethics webinars. Many of the Academy topics, especially the ethics programs, the cultural sensitivity program, and the evidence-based treatment programs, will also serve for participants toward licensure renewals or hospital credentialing.

Each of the individual topics in the SCEH Academy began as sessions of the SCEH Webinars Series. Assembled together now in the SCEH Academy, they are available as course recordings available for Homestudy. Each webinar, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.5 CEs for Psychologists, 1.5 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers, or 1.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs. Homestudy participants must view the recording in full and complete the post-presentation evaluation to obtain CE credit and proof of attendance.

The SCEH Academy does not provide CME hours for medical licensure. However, physicians and other medical professionals can utilize the Academy courses toward their SCEH Hypnosis Certification.

This program is offered by SCEH and The Office of Continuing Education at The Chicago School.  Fees for individual webinars are $55.00 for SCEH Members, $15 for Students and $65.00 for Non-Members.
