NEURO-SEMANTIC STANDARDS
In ISNS, we have set standards for NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioner, and Trainer Certification, standards that have been a part of NLP over its history. We accept the standards that Leslie Cameron Bandler published when she first designed these trainings.
NLP PRACTITIONER TRAINING
With so much NLP information now in books, videos, and other forms, we have reduced the Practitioner course to 9 days (90 hours of face-to-face training) and 30 hours reading and study time. While there are numerous ways to format Practitioner training, we recommend three 3-day modules with a day for assessment for 10 days. Prerequisite readings include: User’s Manual of the Brain, Vol. I, Sourcebook of Magic, Vol. I, MovieMind, Communication Magic, Introduction to NLP (O’Connor and Seymour). Training time for the 90 hours is 9 am to 9 pm for 10 hour days.
