Part 1 – 18 courses and home study
If you’ve done some of our training already, you could be on your way to completing the first part of the Human Givens Diploma…
The first stage of our Diploma course is made up of 8 online courses and 10 in-person workshops, plus some additional home study.
You can start Part 1 whenever you like – there is no application process for this initial stage of the Diploma, which has been designed to be as flexible as possible so you can fit it in around your other commitments and progress at a pace that suits you. It is always good for us to know in plenty of time, however, if you are intending to take the full course.
Part 1 Diploma-linked Courses
We recommend you take at least a couple of the following courses, including 1 in-person workshop (The Therapeutic Power of Language and Guided Imagery are good places to start), before committing to the whole Diploma – to make sure our training is right for you. All Part 1 courses are stand-alone courses accredited for CPD and taught by highly experienced tutors – you will learn plenty on each one that you can use immediately in your work, or will find personally beneficial.
To build on the information and skills covered, it is helpful to start in the order shown on ‘Your Diploma Journey’ – but we appreciate this isn’t always possible. Please do contact us if you’d like any advice.
A truly enriching learning experience that was well structured, interesting and a pleasure to be part of
Joe Dyer
The Diploma-linked workshops are held throughout the year in London, Bristol and Leeds – you can complete several at once as they are run in blocks of training days. There is no need to apply to take Part 1, but you must have completed all of the online and attended courses by the time you attend Part 2.
Please note: it is essential to attend the Guided Imagery and Visualisation workshop (and ideally Therapeutic Language too) before you attend the Rewind Technique workshop.
SAVINGS: To help you get started on your Part 1 journey, we offer a multiple bookings discount – SAVE 10% when you book 5 or more attended courses at once (discount automatically applied at checkout) and enjoy 20% OFF in our Special Offer for the online courses when you buy all 8 together!

It doesn’t feel like a course to train for ‘work’. It’s a blueprint for life, absolutely fascinating. HG has changed my life, given direction to my work and improved my effectiveness

Amazing! The support, information, encouragement, practical skills and learning on Part 2 is outstanding. I can’t wait to start using the skills...

Home study
There is a Reading List for the Diploma which you will need to read and absorb before attending Part 2. It is a good idea to start this while you work your way through Part 1 to help you absorb the information. (Before you attend Part 2, you will also be sent the Diploma Manual to read.)
You are also encouraged to practice the various new skills you are learning on Part 1 as often as possible so you can derive the most benefit from Part 2.
