Practitioner Certification Standards

The Home of NLP is committed to excellence in training.  

To obtain ANLP certification from this training given by the The Home of NLP, practitioners will be required to demonstrate full understanding of each aspect of what is listed below.  In order to offer this type of quality training, the training groups will remain small so each student gets quality instruction in a way they can absorb and apply the wonderful techniques of NLP.  

Why study NLP?  What is it really about?  My teaching philosophy is that NLP helps each person clear the screen of their mind, communicate effectively, understand and learn effectively, and then act in ways that are helpful and lead to success.  

So, for what purpose?  To enjoy life!  Therefore my trainings are fun and enjoyable! Students that are certified by The Home of NLP will know the material and as part of the homework will  put this knowledge into practice in their day-to-day lives during the training. These trainings are for those who expect excellence.

This is fully interactive training.  I consider each student's reason for learning NLP, and as we traverse through the material, recommend ways to apply the principles to their desired outcomes.  There will be homework that is required to obtain certification.  This training is not for everyone!  I am interested in training students who want to grasp this knowledge at a deep level, and also students who may want to be the next innovators in the field.   Is that you?

The following are the standards of the ABNLP for the Practitioner level of NLP training:

I have adopted the ABLNP's standards not only because that is the certifying body under which I received my Practitioner, Master Practitioner and Trainer's training, they have a listed set of standards that clarify what I consider as required for a competent practitioner.

Your certification from the ANLP from my training is separate from the training.   Please note, the ANLP, as other certifying bodies, has a yearly charge.  Unlike many schools who hand you a certification upon completion of the classes, I require post-study interaction through certain "independent study" project(s) based on the student's chosen method of applying NLP principles.  It is upon completion of the project(s) (agreed upon in advance by the student and teacher)  that actual certification will be awarded.  

NOTE:  Being a "practitioner" from any school does not prepare you to be a therapist, though many people have set various types of helping practices at the Pracitioner and Master Practitioner levels.   Usually they had a type of practice beforehand, and NLP gave them the extra tools to "supercharge" what they had already been doing.
