INLPTA CERTIFIED PRACTITIONER OF NLP

LOCATION: CHELTENHAM AND OTHER PLACES OR IN-HOUSE

Practitioner Certification requires attendance on all  days.

The first 4 days of this course comprises the INLPTA Certified Diploma in NLP.

If you miss a day you can catch up in sequence by attending the Training Changes weekday or weekend as appropriate.

The Diploma alone will not enable you to be insured in your NLP work. For insurance cover you will need the Certified Practitioner of NLP.

PART 1
Who are you at the start of your Certified Practitioner training? What is your internal state and what are your expectations of: the course? your training? the trainer? who you’ll be becoming?
Recognise your start point so you can recognise your finish point, which is another start point.
All change models work with this as their basic starting point:

Present State        Desired State

This module starts with an explanation of the background to NLP, its originators and how NLP was developed – with an emphasis on the modelling processes used by the originators, John Grinder and Richard Bandler. Bearing in mind that over 75% of communication is non-verbal, we spend time studying body language. Time is spent on matching and mirroring the non-verbal communication of others.

One of the keys of NLP is rapport, so we discover what are the so called ’secrets’ of rapport. This includes matching, mirroring, breathing and voice tonality matching.
On this module, as on each, we consider what are called The Presuppositions of NLP, the most well-known of which is probably ‘There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.’ What does it mean, how do I apply it?

People’s eyes move in certain predetermined ways depending on what and how they’re thinking. We observe and distinguish eye accessing cues.  We go further than many other training organisations with what can be done with eye accessing cues.

In NLP we have a way of enhancing goals and turning them into outcomes – time is devoted to developing well-formed outcomes, both in your personal and professional life.
Other features of Module 1 are: the circle of excellence – how to have access to your peak states at will; pacing and leading – how to influence with integrity; the elements of trance with a group trance induction; how to have at least 3 perspectives in any situation – perceptual positions.

We begin to consider anchoring (“an anchor is any stimulus which produces a consistent response”) which will enable you to re-produce internal/external states when you want – you  can do this for others too.
Apart from Day 1, every day starts with what we call ‘open frame’ – this is an opportunity for anyone to report back on the effects of the previous days’ learnings, ways of using NLP, questions and queries.
Apart from Sundays, when people sometimes have long journeys back to their homes, each day ends with a brief trance induction, with instructions to the unconscious mind to integrate that day’s learnings.

PART 2
With the start of each module, we take time to check that there are no gaps – so we can move on.
This module offers tools to take learnings from what were previously limiting experiences. To do this, we consider the effects of putting a different ‘frame’ around an experience, specifically with framing, reframing and 6-step reframing. There is much more on anchoring and further NLP techniques, particularly the swish and the meta mirror – a way of dealing with so-called ‘difficult people’.
In this unit we cover extremely quick and effective phobia cures (10 minutes); submodalities (think of a picture and you’ll make one – make it bigger and brighter, etc. ~ size and brightness here are sub-modalities); the language that we use -’I see what you mean’ – Visual; ‘that sounds right to me’ – Auditory; ‘let’s get a handle on this’ – Kinesthetic, and ways we can communicate more effectively.
Everything is VAKOG (Visual Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory).
We also work with some of the latest developments from Robert Dilts, NLP Modeller and Writer.

PART 3
Much of this part is devoted to studying and working with The Meta Model, one of the greatest developments of NLP. The Meta Model is the effective way of re-connecting language and experience.
As well as The Meta Model, we spend time with The Milton Model (named after Milton Erickson, one of the therapeutic ‘magicians’ modelled by Bandler and Grinder) so that we’re able to use hypnotic language patterns. We then all experience going into trance and using hypnotic inductions.

In addition to these language models, this unit also features ways of bringing about change on a Timeline; being able to understand the strategies we and others use; mapping across where we can, for example, turn confusion into understanding; and meta-programmes, the unconscious programmes that run programmes.

PART 4
A multitude of NLP change techniques, from the apparently simple to the profoundly powerful, from changing a limiting belief to Parts Negotiation to Walt Disney’s Creativity Strategy to New Code NLP.

PART 5
More on Timelines and Timeline Re-Imprinting, ways of dealing with extreme trauma. A process, Practitioner Integration Process ®©Training Changes, where all the learnings of the course are brought together and integrated at a cellular level.
The final 3 days form the integration and certification process.
We then future pace your Certified Practitioner of NLP Identity so that you seamlessly continue to make the changes you want on both your personal and your professional life.
End of this unit’s day, end of course – you are now a different person and ready to start.
What happens once the course is over?
As an INLPTA/Training Changes NLP Practitioner you are entitled to free lifelong support in your NLP work from the Training Changes office, Monday to Friday, 9.00-5.00.
NO OTHER NLP TRAINING ORGANISATION OFFERS THIS.
We are committed to your ongoing personal and professional development – and that doesn’t end on the last day of the course.
