The Global Association for NLP
Empowering NLP professionals to make a difference
There are some core requirements that all potential members of ANLP have to meet in order to join.
ANLP provides a self regulatory framework for NLP Professionals and as part of that, ensures that minimum standards are applied to all those who apply to ANLP for membership. These minimum membership standards are as follows:
To join ANLP as a Professional member or above, face to face training is required - NLP Professionals are working with clients and as such, it is important that members do have experience of training and working with real people.

After all, would you trust your life to a driver who has only ever passed their online theory test, without ever actually driving a car for real!
ANLP Membership Terms and Conditions (section 2.1.6) state that:

If you are in any doubt, please check with ANLP before investing in your training.
