Requirements for NLP Practitioner Certification

Being Certified as a NLP Practitioner is based upon an agreed upon minimum level of knowledge and training duration. The American Board of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ABNLP) specifies that for some to be certified as a NLP Practitioner they must demonstrate the ability to identify the following basic skills, techniques, patterns and concepts of NLP and to utilise them competently with self and others:

• Presuppositions of NLP
• Present state to desired state
• Well Formed Outcomes
• State Management
• Rapport
• Sensory acuity & calibration
• Representational systems (primary and lead)
• Association, dissociation, perceptual positions
• Accessing & building resources
• Meta Model
• Milton Model
• Meta Programs (Basic – based on Jungarian sychology) – elicitation and utilisation
• Metaphors
• Submodalities
• VK Dissociation
• Swish Pattern
• Standard Belief Change
• Changing drivers
• Eliciting Strategies
• TOTE
• Reframing
• Parts
• Spotting and utilising incongruity
• Basic timeline work
• Logical levels
• Process versus content
• Perceptual Positions
• Well Formed Outcome

Duration of the Practitioner training must be a minimum of 130 hours (over a minimum of 7 days, face-to-face training), in the basics of NLP patterns led by a Certified Trainer of NLP from a recognised training institute.

These standards were created based on much research of various NLP courses throughout the world. A minimum training standard is applicable due to the numerous courses available and the potential for low standards of NLP being taught. Training taken to this standard, with a Certified ABNLP Trainer, will allow you to gain membership with the ABNLP and various other Boards around the globe.
