NLP Training Standards

The Institute of Neuro-Semantics Australia (INSA) under the auspices and world-wide governance of the International Society of Neuro-Semantics (ISNS) sets forth the following as the minimum training standards required in Australia for NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner, NLP & Neuro-Semantic (NS) Trainers training Certification.

1. The trainer is an INSA ‘Recognised NLP Trainer’

INSA Recognised Trainers

Only trainers that are currently licensed and in good standing with the Institute of Neuro-Semantics Australia (INSA) and therefore the International Society of Neuro-Semantics (ISNS), and that have undertaken the following minimum training requirements are considered and acknowledged by the INSA as ‘Recognised NLP & Neuro-Semantic Trainers’, and as such may use and display the ‘Recognised NLP Trainer’ Logo providing:

Your NLP Practitioner or Master Practitioner membership with the INSA requires your NLP Trainer to be an INSA ‘Recognized Trainer’ and your NLP graduation certificate must carry the ISNS gold Seal.

The INSA NLP training standards (Recognised Trainer, classroom hours trained and the type and quantity of content delivered) for NLP and Meta-NLP certification, include and often transcend the minimum course training standards required by most if not all other NLP Associations and NLP bodies across Australia.

The following outline expresses the minimum standards for ‘Recognised NLP Trainers’ to deliver to and the necessary content for your successful NLP membership with the INSA:
