NLP University Assessment and Certification

The assessment process for both Practitioner, Master Practitioner and Trainer certification takes place over a period of two days and consists of a series of activities that evaluate the candidate's skills from a variety of different perspectives. Each activity supplies a different framework in which the candidate can demonstrate competency with a range of NLP tools and distinctions, and at the same time provides a specific focus on either observational, conceptual, analytical or interactive ability. Assessment activities may include:

Demonstration with Questions: Candidates observe a demonstration of a particular NLP process and answer questions about specific patterns and distinctions.
Supervised Practice: Candidates demonstrate a specific NLP process and work with a supervisor to discuss questions about their actions and decisions.
Role Plays and Behavioral Puzzles: Candidates are presented with a situation in the form of a role play or interactive "puzzle" and answer questions about their observations and conclusions.
Supervised Simulations: Candidates construct and enact a simulation within a particular application area related to their professional focus and work with a supervisor to discuss their goals, evidence procedures and operations.

The assessment process is supervised by NLP University faculty. The assessment activities will be cast into the particular application area (health, business) that is most relevant to the professional focus of the individual candidate. Practitioner and Master Practitioner certificates will specify the application area chosen for assessment.
