There are 2 ways to learn NLP:

1. The Hard & Expensive Way

I took this route between 1999 and 2003. Here’s what I paid:

• NLP Practitioner (12 days course) – $4,500 (tuition) + $1,400 (flights, hotel) = $5,900
• NLP Master-Practitioner (14 days course) – $12,500 (tuition) + $2,800 (flights, hotel) = $15,300
• NLP Trainer’s Training (12 days course) – $6,500 (tuition) + $2,200 (flights, hotel) = $8,700

Total: $29,900

10 days are not enough to train a person in such a vast and complex field. It took me 2 years and a 6 months supervised internship to be qualified to take a license exam in Hypnotherapy. It took a hefty cashier’s cheque to become ‘certified’ in NLP.
