NLP Practitioner training provides an exploration of the fundamental practices of classic code and New Code neuro-linguistic programming. For more than 30 years, NLP practices have allowed practitioners to refine the integration of their minds, senses, bodies and imaginations. Practiced in a wide variety of fields and contexts, NLP allows people to strengthen their own identity, set useful goals, and influence change in others.
As practitioners of NLP, we become increasingly aware of the interaction between the world around us and the world within us. We find that we possess an almost boundless will to make good choices, to build wonderful relationships, and to push our abilities beyond their current limits. With the help of models of excellence and patterns based on their success, we can be the people we most want to be and forge relationships that help us live at our best.

Unit 1: Focus on Strengths
◆ Know what you want to do and what you want to be
◆ Step into states to support your performance
◆ Transform your past into resources
◆ Apply strengths to meet challenges
◆ Create ongoing success
In this first unit of the NLP Practitioner certification, you will learn to make better choices about what you do and what state you are in while you do it. You will practice effective methods for combining the roles played by conscious awareness and unconscious processes in achieving what you want. You will experience ways to change the meaning of your past experiences so that they support your future achievements.
Using NLP techniques, you will learn to change the processes by which you perceive yourself without sharing details of your personal history. You will develop a range of tools that are effective, non-intrusive and energizing. Each tool is approached from a variety of perspectives so that you can apply them to your own experience or use them to facilitate change in others.
Unit 2: Focus on Learning and Influence
◆ Know what you want from relationships
◆ Understand the layers of nonverbal communication
◆ Make distinctions between your experience & the big picture
◆ Step into someone else’s experience
◆ Build a model of shared success
This course is normally taken after completion of Focus on Strengths.
Just as neurology, language and physiology combine to produce states and achievement in individuals, they combine to produce the social connections that allow us to thrive in working with other people.
You will begin with exploring the way in which you influence other people and are influenced by them. You will determine what you want to know about others and how you want to use that knowledge to form effective working connections. Using a variety of techniques, you will pay new attention to the difference between your individual experience and your experience in relationship with others.
You will learn how to gain more information than you thought possible about someone else’s experience.
Unit 3: Focus on Effective Language
◆ Build agreement through language patterns
◆ Create experience through sensory language
◆ Use metaphors to anchor concepts
◆ Ask the right questions for precision & persuasion
◆ Build narrative patterns to drive action
This course is normally taken following completion of Focus on Strengths, and Focus on Language and Influence.
The whole of our message is conveyed by our choice of words working in combination with the physiology of our communication (voice, gestures, or appearance on screen or page).
Become aware of words in ways that are seldom taught in conventional speaking and writing courses. Learn to combine sensory information with abstract content to increase understanding and create messages that “stick.”
You’ll learn to express agreement through patterns as well as content, to ask questions to get to the information you need and to ask questions that allow others to reach the right conclusions. You’ll learn to choose words that bridge the way you think and the way other people are thinking.
