NLP Practitioner Licensing & Certification

Bennett/Stellar University's NLP Practitioner Program integrates comprehensive instruction and practical experience in NLP, and Time Line Coaching™. Master your potential; personally, spiritually, and professionally by learning and experiencing the skills taught in our NLP practitioner training.

This NLP Practitioner Certification Program, featuring internationally recognized instructors Michael Andrew Bennett, Sandra Vesterstein, and/or Dalene Sprick, provides you with a greater understanding of the mind, persuasive use of language, and learn magical interventions that the non-NLP trained can only dream about.

To become and be recognized by Richard Bandler and The Society of NLP as a qualified and licensed NLP practitioner a person must demonstrate the ability to master the basic skills, techniques, patterns and concepts of NLP. This includes learning the advances made in basic NLP techniques by Dr. Bandler. For this reason Bennett/Stellar University's NLP Practitioner Program ensures the skill level of the NLP practitioner, and supplies the student with comprehensive instruction and practice in the neuro-linguistic subjects to meet and exceed the Society of NLP educational requirements for the NLP practitioner.

In addition, our program teaches the advancements made by NLP developer Richard Bandler in the area of neuro-linguistics by teaching techniques found in Dr. Bandler's innovative work in the subjects of Design Human Engineering™ (DHE) and Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning™ (NHR).

Flexible Scheduling:
Our courses are offered in two training formats for your convenience. There is a Conference/Retreat Format, Residential/Weekend Format and an Online Format. We suggest you reward yourself with a well deserved and needed trance-formation vacation and attend the following courses (shown below) for the training and certification as a NLP Practitioner. Or upgrade to Bennett/Stellar University's Master Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy® Program which encompasses this program plus adds training and certifications as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Neuro-Linguistic Coach, and Reiki I & II Practitioner. Or choose any single course or combination of courses that meets the educational preferences or personal availability (See schedule for details).

NOTICE: Stay a few more days and receive your training in the skills of a NLP Master Practitioner: Students may take the NLP Practitioner courses at one location and the remaining courses of the Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy™/Coaching™ Program, which includes the NLP Master Practitioner, and Reiki Level I & II training, at a later date at a different or the same location.

A minimum ability to utilize the basic skills, techniques, patterns and concepts of NLP: Behavioral integration of the basic presuppositions of NLP: The ability to change the process by which we experience reality is more often valuable than changing the content of our experience of reality.

• The meaning of your communication is the response you get.
• All distinctions human beings are able to make concerning our environment and our behavior can be usefully represented through the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory senses.
• The resources an individual needs to effect a change are already within them.
• The map is not the territory.
• The positive worth of the individual is held constant, while the value and appropriateness of the internal and/or external behavior is questioned.
• There is a positive intention motivating every behavior; and a context in which every behavior has value.
• Feedback vs. Failure - All results and behaviors are achievements, whether they are desired results for a given task/context or not.

Teaching Content:
Material is taught, discussed, demonstrated by instructors, and practiced by students. Students experience profound personal benefits in a warm, friendly environment filled with humor and fun. 

Class Size:
One of the number one concerns in education today is the amount of students in attendance for effective learning. Many students have made the mistake of attending NLP training programs taught by large seminar companies, and found themselves lost as simply a spectator in a crowd of 60 - 200 attendees. Bennett/Stellar University is a state licensed private career school that creates an environment of connection between students and instructors limiting attendance to more effective maximum class sizes that meet or exceed educational quality standards. In addition, students are allowed and encouraged to ask questions in a safe and comfortable environment. The friendly instructors and assistant instructors at Bennett/Stellar University have the answers, and are available even after class scheduled hours - providing the student with almost constant attention and personal guidance rarely found anywhere else.
