here's what others have said

For many years I had preconceived ideas about what an on-line course would be like.  I was not interested at all.  I used to think it was not for me because I need to connect with the person I am learning with.  I only participated in face-to-face courses.

I completed the Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Solutions in Hypnosis in Hobart with Rob and then the Diploma of Solutions in Counselling.

Since then I have participated in several of Rob's online courses and love them.  I am converted!  I find the experience as beneficial as being in a physical room with others.  The experience of the regular connection with Rob and the group helps grow my confidence and gives me wonderful support in my work and life.

The connection with the other participants is as strong as being in a room with them and having people from all over Australia and the world is just so expansive and wonderful.  We learn from each other and I get to meet and connect with people I would never have met living in Hobart.

The learning that happens for me in the on-line groups is as good as any learning I experience in other courses and formats.  I thoroughly recommend it.

I have attended face-to-face workshops with Dr Rob McNeilly in the past, and I recently became aware that he was offering an online course. Whilst I was initially skeptical, I have found the practice exercises and the training in general to be just as real and useful as face-to-face training and much more convenient.

Rob McNeilly offers an innovative and interactive on-line learning program. The weekly 2 hour 'real time' coaching calls bring together participants from all over the world in a supportive, shared space. We are able to work together as a group - with Rob focusing each week on a particular topic and then guiding us with a live demonstration. We then break up into smaller ‘breakout’ groups to practise with each other in a more private one-on-one environment. These ‘breakout' groups offer me a fantastic opportunity to practise  - to play with techniques and build personal confidence without any judgement. The group then comes back together - after practise - to discuss and share their experience. Rob supports his teaching with a great deal of written information, stories, videos and audios. I look forward to our weekly 2 hour on-line program as it is always a very engaging and rich experience! Plus as each session is recorded I am able to watch them again and revisit specific topics when it suits me.

I found the experiential opportunities for learning and practicing Ericksonian hypnosis provided by Rob McNeilly during the Matrix of Ericksonian Hypnosis program very beneficial. During this on-line program I had the opportunity to engage with other students and practice hypnosis techniques in a convenient and comfortable environment without the need to travel. 

I have completed other courses on-line where the lack of opportunity to meet and engage with other students was an issue; this has been overcome by Dr McNeilly’s use of the conferencing program Zoom.

I have been doing online learning for nearly 15 years now , and have seen the learning process evolve from static PowerPoint slides to recorded instructor hosted slide presentations, to what we have today. Live face to face video. I value printed and recorded materials, but to be able to interact directly with the instructor, and with other students from across the globe, and from the comfort of my home or office (even on holiday) is priceless. Dr. Rob McNeilly directly facilitates The Learning Experience wonderfully every time. As a community of learners and explorers, marvellously useful and at times profound ideas are discovered and shared. And I don't know if you will find that helpful eliciting change in those you work with, but perhaps in yourself as well. As Dr Rob says- Let The Learning Continue.

In my humble estimation, having participated in many online classes, the "practical" side of your lessons makes them quite compelling. Though based on my limited experience, your classes are the only ones that offer that. True, many online classes have "coaching calls" but, personally, I've never found that particularly helpful (better than nothing, but not by much). Using Zoom as you do is amazing.
