Regardless of the student's background, the Hypnosis 101 course represents the first step in professional training. It is one of the most important, as well as the most fun and exciting of all the training steps, because it is here the foundation is laid for the "how to" skills of hypnosis. The result is a course full of demonstrations by instructors, as well as practice assignments. The main focus of the 101 course is the "Emotional and Physical suggestibility and sexuality" concepts, created by HMI's founder, Dr. John G. Kappas. Greatly responsible for HMI's success and reputation, these tools provide hypnotists with a behavioral profile that enables them to organize their linguistic pattern to perfectly match the suggestibility of the subject.

Rendering virtually everyone hypnotizable, this unique concept has been heralded as one of the few real breakthroughs in the field of hypnotherapy in the last 100 years.

Another important concept presented in the 101 class is the "Message Unit Theory of Hypnosis," providing students a precise understanding of exactly what hypnosis is, how it is created, and the differences between self-hypnosis, hetero-hypnosis, and environmental states. The focus of the 101 course is equally dedicated to understanding these vital theoretical foundations as it is in acquiring the fundamental skills of how to test suggestibility, interpret the results, and hypnotize the subject according to his or her unique suggestibility pattern.

For nurses, doctors, and dentists, Hypnosis 101 may be all the training needed to learn hypnosis for use in their clinical practices. For those students who are learning Hypnosis for entertainment purposes or just their own curiosity, Hypnosis 101 may be all the training they are looking for. Students who are planning to apply their hypnosis skills in a therapeutic setting would move on to the next level, Clinical Hypnosis 201.
