    General assessement criteria for NLP Practitioner

    The NLP Practitioner Certification process is based on your integration of self evolving and ecological attitudes, proficiency in NLP skills and abilities, and content knowledge of NLP principles and techniques.

    The NLP Practitioner Certification process will also be based upon your ABILITY TO ELICIT RESPONSES in the formal classroom setting and informally between yourselves. You will be evaluated as follows:

    - Your ability to work from an OUTCOME FRAME, RESOURCEFUL STATES, SENSORY BASED CALIBRATIONS, and BEHAVIORAL FLEXIBILITY.

    - Your ability to MAINTAIN RAPPORT between yourself, the other participants, staff, instructors, assistants and anyone else associated with the training. If rapport is lost, you have the responsibility to re-establish it and maintain it through time.
    bullet

    - Your ability to ELICIT the STATES and RESPONSES you are after within both yourself and others.
    bullet

    - Your ATTENTION to and FACILITATION of ECOLOGY in all of your interactions with SELF and OTHERS.

    Evaluation begins when you say "hello" and does not end; the evaluation is continuous and on a daily basis. Your skills will be evaluated periodically and suggestions made for improvement if necessary. A considerable amount of your evaluation rests on how you treat yourself, your peers and the trainers over time.

    THE MOST POWERFUL FORM OF COMMUNICATION IS BEHAVIOR.

    Integrating the NLP skills and concepts into your BEHAVIOR (what you do...how you act) is the evidence procedure for certification as a Neuro-Linguistic Programmer.

     


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The assessment criteria

    The most critical factor in evaluating practitioners will be their ability to:
    - work within an outcome frame
    - establish and maintain states of resourcefulness
    - sort by others
    - establish and maintain rapport
    - respect and pace other people's models of the world
    - do effective and ecological change work
    - Certification requirements are the successful completion of the following:
    - written examination for intellectual competence
    - behavioral examination for behavioral competence
    - case study documentation or personal/professional application project report

  • The assesement criteria of an INLPTA NLP Practitioner is based on:

    Attitude (embodiment of the presuppositions of NLP)
    Content Knowledge (frames, principles, techniques, distinctions)
    Behavioral Skills (demonstrated integration of leanings)
