NLP Practitioner Certificate

The NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) Practitioner course taught at CNELM is particularly oriented towards individuals who work with others in a one to one setting. So, for anyone working as: a therapist of any kind, a coach, a sports coach, healthcare professional or manager, then this course aims to provide you with the extra skills and insight that we think will be highly valuable. The course is also highly relevant for individuals looking to develop additional skills, understand and perspectives for self development purposes. 

The course will focus on skills enabling participants to build rapport, manage state, resolve people problems, be more aware of self and others in interesting ways, set goals, gain new perspectives, and will offer a number of change techniques helping people to make useful change in their lives – for example, to manage state, change habits, or change beliefs. 

The Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner Certificate we teach is an internationally recognised qualification. On successful completion of the course you will receive an NLP Practitioner certificate from the ANLP professional body which entitles you to apply to them for membership.

Please Note: Students must meet External Verification requirements to be eligible for the NLP Practitioner Certificate
