1. What is the function of INLPF?

As the NLP Practitioner/Master NLP Practitioner/NLP Trainers training certification is an advanced NLP training we have a responsibility to make sure that all applicants for the training are adequately prepared for these course. NLP is a new field and subsequently there is much variation in standards, curriculum and quality of training throughout the NLP community both within individual nations and internationally. One of the outcomes of the INLPF is to lift the standard of NLP training worldwide.

2. What standards should I expect for a Practitioner of NLP training?

A minimum of 120 hours is the generally recognized and accepted time standard for Practitioner of NLP training for most NLP Associations.

Process not Content :

The field of NLP makes the distinction between process and content. NLP is a process (not content) model. Content models are not NLP! I have seen books marketed as NLP texts that contain content rituals under the guise of NLP techniques. Skilled NLP trainers make the distinction when teaching between process and pattern and content examples. NLP does not include mysticism or personality type labeling and training programs that include these classes of material are not teaching pure NLP! NLP does not include content beliefs!

3. What Research Supports NLP?

An extensive catalogue of NLP research is kept on the internet by the University of Bielefeld in Germany, and can be reached at  http://www.nlp.de/research/

4. Does NLP always get results?

Yes and no. It is impossible not to get a result but the result may not match your internal representation of the outcome. NLP is most successful with those people who have an open mind. Results can also be achieved with someone who is skeptical but it may take longer if the Consultant has to build proof and credibility in the effectiveness of the NLP model.
