"it's given me a set of tools for life"
"I think that the Uncommon Knowledge Diploma course should be taught in schools as it's given me a set of tools for life that I wish I had years ago. It will definitely keep my life in balance and hopefully for other as well. The teaching style is unique, course directors inspiring and students were a supportive group to learn with. I would recommend it to anyone."

""This course has had a major impact on my personal and professional life. Powerful stuff indeed - strongly recommended."
Paul Myszor, Chartered Educational Psychologist
"This has undoubtedly been the best yet."
"Holding three post graduate Diplomas made me feel something of an expert in the 'course' world. This has undoubtedly been the best yet."
"What is complex information has been made accessible and easy to understand and applicable to therapy and consultancy work in a really positive way."
"As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) it was hard to know where to look for CPD opportunities. This course seemed to offer something new and exciting. I enrolled and was never disappointed." "It has radically changed my view on how public policy just misses the point when seeking to address long term unemployment, social work training, multi-agency working. I aim to use the learning to combat this. . ."
Thank you for putting together such a well planned, delivered and organized course. I wasn't sure what to expect when I enrolled but what I have experienced completely exceeded any small pre-conceptions I had. May your influence continue to grow, like ripples in a pond!"
Michelle Spirit, Education and Training Consultant, Chichester, West Sussex
"...impeccably organized, timed and managed."
Uncommon Knowledge should run courses on how to run courses – it was impeccably organized, timed and managed. I have never been on a course where so much faith was shown in the delegates and our ups and downs were so expertly managed to bring us so far in such a short time. I'm looking forward to carrying on practicing, learning and developing! Thank you so much."
Rebecca Welch, Personnel Manager, Hampshire
"The best training I've taken, personally and professionally."
"An absolutely amazing course; professional, fascinating, the latest information on all aspects of how humans are and how we can live more fulfilling lives. The best training I've taken, personally and professionally. I thoroughly enjoyed Mark and Jill's unique styles in delivering lectures, their vast knowledge imparted in such an easy manner, their great sense of humour and the dynamics of the whole team – lecturers, mentors, supervisors and students."
"This training left me inspired and so confident that what I've learnt and experienced is the best start up to a new career, equipped with all the tools necessary to go and make a difference to all those people I haven't met yet! – as I know the work I've done so far has already helped change people's lives for the better. I've left a full time, high profile sales role to embark on getting this stuff out there to more people and to those in particular who may not have previously considered how they could benefit from this kind of approach"
"Finally I'd like to add that I remember reading a letter from UNK about the course and what an Uncommon Therapist is. It listed numerous psychotherapeutic approaches and summarized an UNK Therapist was all those things. I was excited by that prospect and now I have completed the courses I can say that statement is entirely accurate. Thank you for exceeding my high expectations."
Sarah Echeverri, Hypnotherapist, Hove, East Sussex
"...presented very professionally."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the diploma course. The course was presented very professionally and yet by people who are obviously passionate about what they do. This passion was infectious and I find myself now doing the same thing. I feel I have learned so much in the last year – about hypnotherapy and about myself. For the first time in my working life I am excited by the possibilities ahead of me. There is a real sense of a door opening up as I prepare to walk through it.."
Phillip Burrows, Kent
"I learnt more... then I did doing a 3 year degree in Pyschology!"
"I learnt more in this year about how we think and behave than I did doing a 3 year degree in Psychology! It's changed my perspective on life..."
"I think it's made me a happier more centred person. I feel I'm able to deal with situations that I felt lost in before and has given me loads more confidence in myself and my abilities.. It has improved my professional skills at work. I have used a lot of Solution Focused principles and tools in both coaching individuals and in my training delivery. I have seen some amazing progress in people I work with, which I know wouldn't have happened if I wasn't using the skills I have gained on this course. Thank you for all of this and for the gifts I take into the future. A quote I heard the other day really rings true for this course: 'The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own'. Benjamin Disraeli "
Sam Dunnett, People Development Facilitator, Peacehaven, East Sussex
"...couldn't have chosen a better way to spend my money!"
"...the comprehensive explanations and demonstrations combined with the humorous approach and mentor support (invaluable) paved the way perfectly... couldn't have chosen a better way to spend my money!"
Paula Newman, Jeweller Brighton, East Sussex
"Uncommon Knowledge far surpass all."
"I have now found my vocation in life and thanks to Uncommon Knowledge the direction and qualifications have put me on the road to where I want to go. I feel confident about what I have learned and can put it into practice straight away. I how have such a thirst for helping people move forward. My life has turned a point where I know I can be of true value to myself and others. I have trained with many schools on different subjects. Uncommon Knowledge far surpass all. They were very entertaining also, making the learning a pleasure."
Mandy Paley, Adminstrator (soon to be self-employed Hypnotherapist), Brighton, East Sussex
"I came out... feeling confident"
"I have studied a Degree and a Masters Degree as well as a Master Practitioner in NLP. None of them compare to the level of learning and understanding of the subject given to you by the teaching methods of this course. I really came out the back end of this course feeling confident about using all of the material from day one. The skills I have learned on the course have benefited me in many areas of my life, both at home and in my current job and I look forward to turning what I have learned from the course into a full time profession."
Nick Meredith, Commercial Associate Director, Peterborough
"I felt like a capable safe therapist from the summer onwards and left already feeling experienced."
"I've sat through cripplingly dull engineering and computer lectures with bad course planning, no handouts or mentoring. The entertaining lectures, the handouts, mentoring, supervising and planning seemed like they'd had so much thought put into them. If a student uses all the resources and suggestions made available to them they can't fail to do well. The forum is another really helpful aspect – as were the downloads. The textbooks were brilliant and went with the course really well. I felt like a capable safe therapist from the summer onwards and left already feeling experienced. I think I am a very good therapist and have 100% belief in what I'm doing with the clients. I will continue to practice and make sure I practice what I preach most of the time. Can't wait to see where I get now having such fantastic human understanding. Thank you."
Lynne Sommerville, Hypnotherapist, Brighton, East Sussex
"the Uncommon Knowledge hypnotherapy course was simply the best"
"I had decided to look to do a course on hypnosis/psychology
because I needed further skills to complement my practice as a mental
health nurse."
"After looking at many sites it became clear that the Uncommon
Knowledge hypnotherapy course was simply the best because it encapsulated
all aspects of my work with clients in the community.
"My criteria for a course were it had to come from an evidence
base with well grounded research as to the theories and practices
taught. The Uncommon Knowledge course certainly does that."
"The weekend
hypnosis course ‘changed my life’ because I feel
more empowered to not only help my clients, but take time out to
give myself an opportunity to MOT my mind."
"I have been using the
