NLP Certification

John Grinder: “The basis of effective training is the creation by the trainer of a series of contexts in which through experience the student may arrive at his own direct tacit knowledge of the patterning.
‍
‍In other words, the measure of effective training is whether the student can do it, never whether he can talk about it.”


Abhay Thakkar: “Participants of my NLP certification courses often share with me that one of the things they liked the most about my trainings is that there are many practice rounds. In addition, they enjoy the experiential learning.

‍I personally believe that lots of theoretical information is already available on Google, YouTube and NLP books. Hence, why spend so much time talking about it, how about rather practicing?”

John Grinder: “That the ideal design of the training inherently involves discovery processes by which the student achieves unconscious (tacit) competency prior to achieving explicit verbal competency.
‍A pattern discovered belongs to the discoverer; a pattern presented belongs to the presenter.”

Abhay Thakkar: “I provide ample of ‘contexts of discovery’ for the participants in my NLP certification trainings. In other words, the participants get an opportunity to discover learnings on their own. Since if I don’t do so, I would rob away their learnings.

Hence this format provides an opportunity for participants to learn in an experiential and practical method.
‍For instance- In my New Code NLP certification trainings, participants not only learn New Code NLP games, but they also create their own New Code NLP games.

In addition, I often have participants who have previously learnt various healing modalities. Since I too have learnt many healing modalities since 2008, it gives me the opportunity to discuss with participants how they can integrate what they have learnt in the NLP certification course with the other healing modalities."
