NLP Trainer Certification
Final scheduled dates in New Zealand were in 2020.
This course will only run in New Zealand in 2024 if interest is strong

The ultimate steps on your NLP journey are the most exciting of all! Transformations NLP Trainer Certification is run in two sections. The first section is called the NLP Instructor Training, and is open to any certified NLP Practitioner who has done the Transforming Communication Basic Seminar. This first section certifies you as an Instructor of the Transforming Communication Basic seminar and the Keys to Success weekend. From the start of your career as a trainer, you’ll provide your seminar participants with international NLP certification and life transforming skills. The second section of the Trainer Training is called the NLP Trainer Intensive, and is open only to NLP Master Practitioners, who have done the first section and who began their NLP training at least 2 years before the start of the Trainer Intensive. There are several outside-course requirements for trainees to achieve Certification as an NLP Trainer, apart from the NLP Trainer Intensive. Write to us as soon as possible, at nlpnz@yahoo.com to find out how you can complete these.

NLP Instructor Training (NLP Trainer Section 1)

This is a 9 day training in the skills to run short NLP based seminars. It focuses on the requirements to certify you as an Instructor of the Transforming Communication seminar and the Keys to Success weekend. Please note that completion of NLP Practitioner certification PLUS completion of a Transforming Communication Basic Course are prerequisite for entry to this course.

You will learn how to:

• successfully market your seminars to the people you want to teach; in business, education, parenting or open groups.
• teach in ways that inspire others to dramatically improve their professional and personal relationships.
• create a co-operative group environment that makes teaching and learning easy.
• use NLP language patterns to resolve barriers to learning before they arise.
• easily respond to teaching challenges such as handling questions, and giving feedback.
• apply the skills from your NLP training (anchoring, metaphor, rapport skills etc) to teach with charisma.
• become a model of the co-operative relationship skills from the Transforming Communication Basic Seminar.

Can I be a Trainer?

At the end of her Instructor Training, Dr Brenda Kaye wrote; “In one week I’ve gone from being unable to imagine myself instructing comfortably, to being completely relaxed and at ease in front of a small group.” And only three months later, Brenda was getting written feedback from her first course participants saying that her course… “completely changed my life!”, “gave a whole new insight into how we treat others”, “is an essential aid to relationships”, and “is a definite must”.

Certification

Actual certification as an NLP Trainer with IANLP requires far more than simply attending this training. The requirements for Certification are:

1. Attend the prerequisite trainings.
2. Complete the 13 pages of closed book written pre-test on NLP
3. Attend the Trainer Intensive.
4. Complete the closed book test of NLP Trainer Skills.
5. Demonstrate randomly selected examples from 9 core NLP proficiencies without notes.
6. Use the NLP Trainer skills in an integrated way in two 20 minute presentations.
7. Design a weekend training, a Practitioner Training and a Master Practitioner training to IANLP standards.
8. Run a 2-4 day NLP training (such as Transforming Communication) under supervision of one of the NLP Trainers.
9. Assist at a full 18 day Practitioner and 18 day Master Practitioner course. During this time you will meet at the end of each training day as a brief supervision and integration session, as you relearn the training structure and learn from the ongoing trainer-student interactions.
10. Meet with either Richard or Julia to arrange individual sessions and a further set of supervision sessions following the completion of your 2-4 day training. This final supervision and certification requirement is new to Transformations Trainer Training (added 2021) and is charged at NZ$600, separately from the price for the Trainer Intensive. This ensures you meet all the certification requirements of the IANLP, and all the certification requirements of the IN.

Time to complete requirements 3-7 will be available at the Intensive. Requirements 8, 9 and 10 may be completed either before or after the Intensive. On completion of the requirements, you’ll receive an NLP Trainers certificate with no expiry date and no contracts to sign. Details of these requirements are available in this PDF information.

You can certainly attend the Trainer Intensive just for the training, and receive a certificate saying that you have completed the Training Requirements of IANLP Trainer Training (though not yet the full certification requirements). The skills will be applicable in any context where you want to deliver a speech, teach, lead a group, manage a meeting or train others. And this is a rare opportunity to train with several world class NLP Trainers. By completing the Certification requirements (which costs an extra NZ$600 plus additional tasks as specified above) you ensure you get the full benefit. It’s up to you.

Why do my Trainer Training with Transformations?

The Trainer Training is the final training step on your journey to NLP Certification. Our name tells you what we’re about. During and after the training, you can also purchase and use our extensive collection of audio and video, books and handouts to model and teach with in your trainings. On this Intensive training, every day you’ll deepen your confidence and skill with small group presentations. We’ll show you how to teach NLP as an extension of who you are. In these days you’ll experience at least three different trainers as you perfect your own unique training style. Your presenters have backgrounds in the business, education, therapy and health fields. They are well respected in the NLP community for their innovation, skill and integrity, and are able to certify you to the standards of two highly respected international NLP organisations (The International Association of NLP Institutes at www.nlp-institutes.net IN, the International Association of NLP at www.ia-nlp.org IANLP). A Transformations NLP Trainer Intensive Certificate will be issued at the successful completion of this training block. An IANLP Trainer Certificate will be issued at completion of ALL Trainer requirements (requiring an additional fee) and an optional IN Trainer Certificate is available at that time (requiring an additional fee).
