How is NLP Training Structured?

NLP Essential Skills module
Just want to test the water? Take the three-day NLP Essential Skills course. You'll have a great overview of NLP and tools to take away. If you choose to attend further modules and gain NLP Practitioner Certification, the option is there.

Many training organisations tie you into a full Practitioner programme, before you've experienced the training style and the trainer. NLP School believes that the quality of our courses speaks for itself.

The NLP Essential Skills course next runs 29 September to 1 October, 2010. Click here for more information and booking options.

NLP Practitioner Training
Beyond introductory courses, the core NLP programme is Practitioner Training. Our Practitioner training consists of 18 days of training; a modular course spread out over a number of months.

John Grinder, the co-founder of NLP, stated a minimum of 130 hours of training (18-20 days) as the generally recognised and accepted time standard for Practitioner NLP training for most NLP Associations.

As you research NLP providers you will come across very short courses claiming to provide practitioner training. Some providers find it more commercially attractive to condense the training and/or substitute audio and video materials for direct experience.

These speed courses usually cost far more on a daily basis than the longer courses, so our question is: who do they really benefit? NLP is a set of skills which requires supervised practice. Remember learning to ride a bike? Could you have done it by just listening, reading and watching, and never getting on a bike?

NLP School is accredited by The Professional Guild of NLP, an organisation which does not accept providers which offer short courses.

The next entry point for NLP Practitioner training is 29 September to 1 October. Click here for full information about the programme and booking options.

NLP Master Practitioner
An NLP Master Practitioner course is the next step for people who have completed Practitioner training, either with NLP School or other providers.  The international trainers on this course are very special, indeed; Stephen Gilligan and Shelle Rose Charvet, and the course content will take you places Practitioner training just couldn't reach.  Click here to read the full course description and download an NLP Master Practitioner fact sheet.

Overall, our NLP Master Practitioner training enables powerful and life-changing interventions to be a natural part of our students' skill set, and helps them to be master influencers and communicators.
