NLP Practitioner Course - Curriculum Detail

Our NLP Practitioner Course is practical, effective and full of profound concepts and information. The comprehensive program brings you the working foundations and principles of NLP. You will rapidly integrate the NLP techniques you have learned into your work and personal life.

Certifying Institute - Certifying Institutes enter a partnership with the ITA to ensure the highest
Neuro Linguistic Programming standards are achieved by learners. Certifying Institutes work to ensure the Grinder/Bostic/Carroll philosophy features in the courses. The Practitioner certificates issued by a ‘Certifying Institute’ carry the prestigious ITA seal and, even more uniquely, the ink signatures of John Grinder, Carmen Bostic St Clair and Michael Carroll.  As in any partnership, the ITA gives Certifying Institutes full support in creating courses.  Approved New Code Trainer - Approved New Code Trainers are Certifying Institutes whose Trainers have also attended the New Code NLP Trainers Training. New Code NLP Trainers issue New Code Practitioner certificates signed by John Grinder, Carmen Bostic St Clair and Michael Carroll with the New Code Trainer Seal. Approved New Code Trainers have gained the latest insights in New Code NLP and have been through an explicit process with John and Carmen to achieve this status. When taking a New Code NLP Course ensure your trainer is an Approved New Code Trainer as a lot of untrained people have jumped on the New Code bandwagon.

An NLP Practioner qualification is Internationally recognized and allows you to continue with an NLP Master Practitioner certificate at a later stage with us or another NLP Training organization.


Enjoy the unique coaching style of training in smaller classes which has a high facilitator to student ratio maximises your learning and ultimately your investment in the training.




Course content - NLP Practitioner Competencies


Below is a minimum set of competencies expected of an NLP Practitioner who has attended an ITA certified NLP Practitioner course. This list is not exhaustive and where time is available, we may include additional patterning.


Minimum Classic Code NLP Practitioner Competencies

Calibration (input channels)

Being able to calibrate in each of the sensory input channels (please notice that we distinguish
between ‘sensory input channel’ and ‘representational system’), visual,
auditory and kinesthetic.

The ability to distinguish between conscious and unconscious signals in non-verbal communication.


Rapport

  • Mirroring

    Visual, auditory
  • Cross-over mirroring

    Visual, auditory Alignments (including rep. systems manipulation)

Representational systems

The ability to detect the preferred representational system by:

  • Eye movements
  • Predicates
  • Voice quality
  • The ability to rapidly and smoothly adjust your communication (both verbal and non-verbal)
    to the preferred system of the client
  • Overlap of representational systems as a method
    of inducing in the client whichever system they do not have access to, and use in pacing
    and leading the client from one representational system to the other (all 3 – V,
    A, K)
  • Identification and utilisation of ordered sequences of representational systems, (sometimes
    referred to as strategies)
  • Synesthesia patterns
  • Submodalities and their use both as interventions (e.g. SWISH) and as barometers
    of the effectiveness of change techniques (for example, reports from clients immediately
    after doing a New Code game are full of descriptions of the submodality changes induced
    by the change of state)

Language patterns

  • Verbal package
  • Framing
  • The two specification questions:
    • Nouns: Which/What ________, specifically?
    • Verbs: ______________, how specifically?

Methods of verifying map alignment (paraphrase, for example)

  • The Intention question
  • Modal operators and universal quantifiers
  • Frank Farrelley’s provocation method (deliberate selection of ‘wrong’ and
    outrageous interpretation in order to provoke the client to ‘correct’ the
    agent of change and thereby offer a more grounded verbal representation)

Minimum metaphor competency

  • Isomorphic/homomorphic mappings
  • Naturalistic metaphors
  • Metaphors using anchoring to specify to the client’s unconscious
    mind the elements in the metaphor that correspond to specific elements in the presenting
    problem or challenge
  • Living metaphors
  • Logical levels and logical types (defined in Whispering)

Anchoring techniques

  • The ability to establish and successfully re-activate anchors in each of the three major
    input channels (V A K, and also spatially)
  • Use of anchoring in change formats
  • Change personal history/re-imprinting
  • Collapse of anchors
  • Time line interventions
  • Circle of excellence (spatial anchoring)

Multiple perceptual positions


With special emphasis on triple description (the use of 1st, 2nd and 3rd position), with
full competency to move quickly and cleanly between these perceptual positions.

Chain of Excellence

  • Breathing
  • Physiology
  • State
  • Performance

Epistemology (from Whispering) with f1, FA and f2

  • F1 Transforms
  • First Access
  • F2 Transforms
  • Linguistic Representations

Being able to recognise the above distinctions and how they impact mental processing at different
points of representation.

Being able to design interventions and understand the leverage point of that intervention
in the epistemological distinction.

Simple hypnotic patterning


Using inductions and language patterns (portions of the Milton Model) to utilise both deliberate
and spontaneously occurring altered states.

Involuntary signal systems

  • Arbitrary involuntary systems (like those found in step two of Six Step Reframing)
  • Use of natural involuntary systems (pain and sensations associated with health, disease
    and dreams)
  • Methods for assisting people who are disassociated kinesthetically to develop signals – the
    orienting response

N-Step Reframing (old Six Step Reframing)

  • Calibrating and working with clients involuntary unconscious signals
  • Working with ‘unconscious
    intention’, again through calibrating and working
    with involuntary unconscious signals

Tasking (especially for changing belief systems)

  • Listening off the top for semantically packed words.
  • Being able to set parallel tasks,
    that are isomorphic to the client’s ‘present
    issue’ to create change in the clients circumstances with the direct involvement
    of the client’s conscious mind.

Parts Interventions

  • Recognise parts as a metaphor
  • Negotiation between parts
  • Parts integration
  • Building a team



The newly developed NLP Practitioner Course is being offered as a unique small group coached training in Brisbane. The first of the series started during November 2009, and there is a series of these being offered throughout 2010 in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. See our Training Schedule for dates of programs throughout 2010 and our Detailed Schedule for training provided by both our organization and our associates.


A full NLP Practitioner qualification is internationally recognized and allows you to continue with an NLP Master Practitioner certificate at a later stage with us or another reputable NLP Training organization. NLP Practitioner status is awarded to students who successfully complete all three modules & the certification process.

The Training format is in two types, spread out (over 2 - 3 months), or the "Intensive" Programs, where the dates are more compressed so that if you are travelling, you can minimise the time you need to be at the location.


There are three areas of training that we cover all the way through your course:
Emotional Intelligence
provides the NLP foundation that enhances or establishes your “Emotional Intelligence”. The aim is to assist you to create a strong connection with your self, elevate your self-awareness and provides self-management skills. At times we offer this course stand-alone, or to contribute towards your eventual growth with the NLP Practitioner program.
Communicating with Precision and Effectiveness
is all about “Communicating with Precision and Effectiveness”. It offers many practical techniques so you can engage more meaningfully with clarity and eliminating many of the barriers to effective communication. This course provides the basis for ways NLP can enhance our communication skills specifically with others and in doing so enhance the quality of our lives.
Creating Change
is focused on bringing together all the foundations already taught and builds your capability by working with powerful NLP Patterns to create change. This “Comprehensive NLP – Creating Change” phase brings distinctions on NLP Pattern utilisation, more in-depth learning by working with “real clients” under supervision and integrates your skills and knowledge.
