NLP Practitioner Certification

The course is structured to allow practice of the four core skills of NLP: managing state; managing rapport and connection; recognizing patterns in language and behaviour; and setting effective intentions and goals. Each day, different aspects of these skills are learned in relation to solving a problem or developing a direction. The course includes recognizing and making the most of emotions, connections, limited resources, stress, negotiation and collaboration, influence, and learning and development.

The course is organized first by key applications of NLP, and then by developing skills in the context of those applications. The eight days of the course cover:

• An Introduction to NLP
• Managing States
• Managing Rapport and Connection
• Managing Limited Resources
• Managing Stress
• Managing Negotiation and Collaboration
• Leadership and Influence
• Adaptation and Improvement

Within each of those days, we have organized NLP practices in terms of their effectiveness in managing states, managing rapport, using language and framing, and setting both short-term outcomes and longer-term goals.

You will learn how to calibrate and map states using sensory predicates and submodalities, shift states through well-established NLP patterns like Swish and the Six Step Reframe, use anchoring for both change and influence, choose language to challenge or create specific understandings [Meta Model], and choose language to set up agreements and suggestions through word choice, patterns, and metaphors [Milton Model].

You will also develop a capability for observing feedback loops with other people and with environments, pacing, disrupting and leading, testing and altering behaviours [TOTE] and integrating all parts of you in your behaviours and choices.

Finally, you will refine your ability to set short-term outcomes and longer-term goals through exercises like the Human Face of Change (logical levels) and mental rehearsal of different futures (future pacing).
