ANLP

ANLP. Here's what they say abut accrediting nlp trainers and nlp training schools: This information is true as of September 2007:

ANLP Accredited & Recognised Trainers Scheme
As ANLP is an independent organisation, which is not affiliated with any specific training school, we offer a universal Accreditation Scheme which is open to all certified NLP Trainers.

Any trainer can, if they choose, go through a peer reviewed accreditation process, where they submit their training manuals and all other information relating to their course management and promotion to an independent ANLP Accreditation Panel for review.

Applicants will be required to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the models, patterns, techniques and their application in NLP. They will need to demonstrate that they have grasped the underlying attitude and flexibility that constitutes the methodologies of NLP. This will be done through assessment and evaluation.

This program is designed for trainers who require ANLP International Certification. Accreditation and recognition is based on agreement on the Core Syllabus, method of delivery, trainee support prior, during and after the training, follow up procedures, problem solving procedures, guarantees and conflict resolution procedures, ethics, promotion materials and any other issues which may affect the experience, learning and transfer of skills to a trainee. In particular, ANLP will examine any areas that may adversely affect their good name and reputation.

To apply to be an ANLP Accredited and Recognised Trainer, applicants must submit their training manual, core syllabus and promotional materials. Applicants will be required to produce at least five testimonials from students trained at least 6 months previously. Depending on the completeness of this information, the Board may request a site visit to gather further information.

When an application is successful, the Trainer becomes an ANLP Fully Accredited or Recognised Trainer (highlighted in yellow on the search facilities)

A trainer may, for any number of reasons, be awarded Provisional Accreditation as a transient step. This will usually be because the Trainer has wanted to gain Accreditation in principle, based on their application, and before the observation part of the process has taken place.

"I would like to congratulate ANLP on their recent development in comprehensive guidelines and standards for NLP Trainings and Trainers. This is much needed within the field and will aid the credibility of NLP as a powerful technology of communication excellence. It is a pleasure to endorse the standards and I look forward to supporting ANLP as they continue to facilitate members to embed the standards and ethics of quality training."
Lisa Wake, INLPTA & Certified Trainer of NLP

Here is what ANLP have as a guide of ethics about themselves:

1. ANLP does not and will never affiliate with any specific NLP professional, training body or organisation. ANLP prides itself on its inclusive and neutral accreditation policy as laid out below.

2. ANLP places no hierarchical value on who its members trained with or for how long they have trained. We believe that it is quality and skill of practice that count every time when it comes to accreditation by us.

3. ANLP places value only on best practice, which is determined by the quality of skills of the person who is seeking accredited membership of ANLP, and is proven by hours worked and testimonials gained and given in proof to ANLP.

4. ANLP works with a body of legislators from all NLP backgrounds to resolve any disputes that may arise, and to decide the issue of Trainers Accreditation for ANLP. All other levels of accreditation are determined by the level of qualification an interested party already holds with their chosen training body. No membership decisions are made directly by the employees of ANLP, and all membership level requirements are freely available for anyone to see on the website. If you would like more information on this please contact us.

5. It is entirely possible for anyone holding an NLP qualification to become a member of ANLP.

6. The level of training a person has undergone will be reflected in the nature of their membership. The reason for this is that ANLP is the number one port of call for the majority of members of the general public seeking to find training in NLP, and we are not in the business of misrepresentation. This policy is totally non-negotiable. Any disputes will be dealt with by our adjudicating body.

7. Anyone who meets the required levels of training can become an ANLP Accredited Trainer. In some cases ANLP will also consider accrediting particular trainings rather than individuals, if said training meets the guidelines laid out for best practice, in terms of hours taught and testimonials given. Again, accreditation of training is won through approval by our Accreditation Board and not through personal opinion.

8. ANLP has no political axe to grind and endorses no divisive policies, factions, or any in fighting that has marred ANLP as an organisation in its past. It will not involve itself in any such activities and will take steps to bar any such activity in its name, or through any of its mouth pieces.

9. ANLP is dedicated to working towards a unified, harmonious future for the NLP community, working in its best interests and promoting its benefits to an interested general public.
