In addition, you will learn to engage quickly and deeply with yourself and others. You will learn to communicate at several levels and to make use of unintentional signals. You learn to interpret people verbally and non-verbally and to tune into their thoughts. With this skill in your fingertips, you can identify and influence (subconscious) blockages, motivation, obstacles, goals and intentions. You learn all this through exercises, role plays and live demonstrations on both a conscious and unconscious level.

A selection of the topics of block 1:

In this block we will put into practice everything we learned in the past 7 blocks and will conclude this together.

Use NLP to create the life you want and become aware of subconscious processes and techniques to change.

With the NLP Practitioner, you have the unique opportunity to indulge yourself with the principles, techniques and methodology of NLP.

From day 1 you will acquire the skills to take control of how you feel. You can use them to improve your communication with other people, to remove blockages and how to do this with others. You can also create more connection with yourself and others or influence the behaviour of colleagues, relations, friends or family.

The NLP Practitioner-Training Course is a unique 15-day course suitable for anyone who wants to develop personally, who wants to improve his communication and wants to experience more freedom in what he is like, the way he thinks, feels and does.

The reason why you want to follow an NLP Practitioner training course is of course different for everyone. We can say that there are a number of basic goals that apply to everyone.

The NLP Practitioner Training Course at UNLP focuses on:

1.   Becoming aware of personal processes

2.   Improving your communication with yourself and others

3.   Gaining insight into subconscious processes and habits (thinking, acting and feeling)

4.   Changing behaviour, thoughts and feelings permanently

5.   Learning basic technical coaching skills

THE NLP PRACTITIONER TRAINING COURSE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS

The NLP Practitioner Training Course is an intensive training. In addition to 15 days (106 hours) of intensive training, there are monthly InterVision sessions with fellow participants. You are also working on the material outside the training days.

You can immediately put much of the study material into practice, in the conversations you have or during observations you do (for example, observing people when sitting on a terrace one afternoon). A list of recommended reading material is available but not required, to successfully complete the course. In simple terms, in addition to the training days, there is a study load of 3 to 4 days a week, during which you are consciously working on the study material.

We think it’s important at ULP that the courses are (externally) accredited and monitored. The NLP Practitioner Program meets the highest standards of accreditation.

The Program is not only accredited by the prestigious IANLP (International Association for NLP), the NVNLP (Dutch Association of NLP) and the ABNLP (American Board of NLP), but also by various professional associations, such as the Youth Quality Register (SKJ) and the Dutch Association for Natural Medicine (LVNG). UNLP is also registered as an educational institution in the CRKBO (Central Register for Short Vocational Education and Training)

At some institutes –especially abroad –you often attend an NLP Practitioner Training Course with several hundreds of people. Many, especially smaller and starting, institutions, pride themselves on having small groups of a maximum of 6 or 8 participants. Both a group of 100 and 8 people are far from ideal.

The disadvantage of such a small group is that you often practice with the same people and that your skills decline and no longer develop at a certain point. In a group of 100 or more, there is hardly any personal contact possible with the trainers, which is a must for an NLP Practitioner Course.

The ideal group size for the NLP (Master) Practitioner Training Course is from 12 to a maximum of 50 participants. There is sufficient interaction, variation and group dynamics in such a group size. A basic rule is that for every 7 participants there is 1 accompanying NLP coach or assistant trainer present, which means 3 coaches for 20 participants and 4 coaches for 30 participants, etc.

An NLP Practitioner Training Course at UNLP involves at least 12 participants. On average, the training groups at UNLP are between 16 and 26 participants.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a collection of mental techniques that you can use for all kinds of purposes. For example, to turn limited beliefs into empowering beliefs, to better control your emotions and to counter fears such as public speaking.

I remember very well that I had to give a presentation at school. I got nervous just thinking that I had to talk to the whole group.  And what did my mother say? “Pretend that all people including the master are naked in the classroom!” It was a very simple and effective technique that I got from my mother as a child.

NLP was invented in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grindler. Since then hundreds of highly effective mental techniques have been developed to ultimately create more freedom in how you feel, what you think and how you want to be.

Yes, the NLP Practitioners Training Course is a popular course. Many participants register months before the start of the programme. You can therefore assume that the training will continue.

We assume that you are present every day. Of course, you can unexpectedly miss a day. You then discuss with your head coach how to make up the missed course day.

Lunch is included in the training. Every day we set the table, serve the most delicious bread, make a nice soup and there are spreads for your sandwiches.

Do you prefer to eat something else? Feel free to take it with you (there is a refrigerator and a microwave) or you can get something in the nearby area.

Normally you pay within 30 days after registration.

In addition to this total payment within 30 days, there are two other options:

1. Payment immediately upon registration via iDEAL. You will receive a 5% discount on the total invoice amount. When you register for the NLP Coach IANLP Training, this quickly delivers you more than €200.

2. Payment in 4 instalments. The discount for direct payment will of course expire. No interest or other costs will be charged. 25% of the total amount must be paid within 5 days after registration. You pay a one-off administration fee of €45.

No, NLP is not a therapy. However, you can solve typical therapeutic problems with it. NLP is intended for people who want to grow and develop. NLP means freedom, to choose whether you get angry about that annoying colleague or family member or whether this person will give you peace or strength, freedom to choose whether you get anxious when you have to give a presentation or whether it will give you confidence or energy, freedom to feel the way you want, freedom to act the way you want and freedom to be who you want to be. In short: ULP means freedom to pursue your goals and follow your dreams. This is what NLP means. NLP is therefore suitable for anyone who wants to improve themselves.

A typical NLP technique is being able to follow and interpret eye movements. In the Practitioner Training Course, you become extremely skilled in observing others. Eye movements tell you whether someone is talking to themselves, is reminiscing about past events or not. In this way you can be sensitive to the ethos of others. You can also find out, for example, whether someone is lying or not. If someone looks to the top left (seen from your own perspective), you know he is inventing something.

NLP Practitioner training courses are offered in various variants, including an intensive 15-day training programme and an 15-day training course spread throughout the year. The 15-day training course is usually spread over six months to a year and is divided over blocks of 2 or 3 days with times from 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM.

An intensive 15-day training program is – as the term itself says – tough. There is a “pre-study” package in advance, in which you are asked to read one or more NLP books in preparation for the course. During the program the times are usually from 10:00 AM tot 05:00 PM and there are shorter breaks and a faster pace.

Which study program you should choose – regular or intensive – depends on your preferences. Would you like to work on your study program for a longer period of time, so that you have plenty of time to practice and apply what has been learnt to your daily life to the maximum? Or would you like to throw yourself into it for 15 days and experience an intensive transformation? Do you like to take your time or do you want to hurry?

One is not better than the other but above all a difference in preference and habit. Your preferences and habits can change. For example, you can decide to do the Practitioner Training Course as a summer course and the Master Practitioner Training Course as an 15-day weekend course or vice versa.

Do you notice during the training that the chosen frequency does not suit you? For example, you want to take the course material faster? Then it is always possible to switch to, for example, the weekend course after a few training days. That’s no problem! That is the advantage of ULP offering multiple training programmes.

The training days are very diverse, as every participant is different. We usually start in the morning with the explanation of a piece of theory, which is linked to various practical examples. We then demonstrate an NLP technique or NLP skill that is in line with the theory.

Next you will work on this skill or technique in subgroups. You do this under the guidance of the trainer or one of the training coaches. This way you can safely learn and experiment!

There are many accreditations regarding NLP certificates. It makes sense, in any way, that there is recognition, because it still happens frequently that an institute is not recognised at all. Your certificate is then worthless if you want to register at another institute or a professional association.

A well-known recognition is the accreditation of the ABNLP (American Board of NLP). Such an accreditation is interesting because it is a worldwide recognition. Nowadays, every NLOP trainer is admitted to the ABNLP. There are few to no prerequisites, except that you must have completed an NLP training course. The qualities of the trainer and of institute are therefore not guaranteed.

An important recognition is the IA-NLP (International Association of NLP.  This is an accreditation under strict conditions, whereby the NLP-trainer must undergo extensive screening before he can be a Fellow Member of the IA-NLP. The trainer must have several years of experience with group dynamics, have extensive NLP knowledge and have completed several courses. In addition, you must keep your knowledge up-to-date very year. At an IA-NLP institute you are therefore guaranteed of the highest qualified NLP trainers available and you can be 100% sure that the training is of a high standard.

In the Netherlands we know the NVNLP (Dutch Association for NLP). If an institute issues their certificate under the supervision of the NVNLP, you can take it for granted that the content of this training is in order.

It is therefore advisable to take a training course at least at an NVNLP institute and preferably at an institute that has been accredited by IANLP, if possible.

If you are nervous about taking exams, with an NLP course you are actually at the right place. After all, you learn at an NLP training how to get rid of specific fears!

Yet, we don’t have a formal exam at the end of the training, there is an evaluation during the last two days of the training. However, you cannot fail or pass based on your performance during these last training days.  It is a kind of personal reflection, so a memento for yourself!

Yes, you can! We think it is important that you can get everything possible from the training. Your life can look very different in a few years from today. Maybe you have another job, new hobbies, another family situation or new goals.

That’s why you always have the option to follow the training again. In each training group we have reserved special “review places”. You only pay for the accommodation and catering services (lunch, coffee, tea).
