MINIMUM NLP TRAINING STANDARDS
The NLPAA follows the international NLP minimum training requirements for NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Trainer Certification. If you are a potential student of NLP, we suggest you ensure your trainer adheres to these guidelines of content and classroom time required. As a minimum, if you are looking for an NLP trainer, we recommend you use the same criteria we do for qualifying trainers with the NLPAA.NLP Practitioner

We have also put together a guide to help you choose your NLP Trainer. It is after all, an important decision.
If you are seeking membership with the NLPAA we may ask you to obtain certain information , including a syllabus from your trainer if they are unknown to the NLPAA. We will utilise the syllabus to ensure the criteria outlined below was taught in your training over no less than the minimum amount of time specified in each NLP Certification level.
These standards were created based on much research of various NLP courses and similar NLP Associations throughout the world. We feel a minimum training standard is applicable due to the numerous courses available and the potential for lowering of NLP training standards of NLP being taught. The following information contains the minimum training standards required for membership in the NLPAA:
