NLP Certification Courses
American Union of NLP® · Three certification levels, taught online
The American Union of NLP certifies at three levels, and each one assumes the one before it. You start as a Practitioner, deepen the work as a Master Practitioner, and—if you want to teach and certify others—finish as a Trainer. Every level is delivered online and taken at your own pace, so you are not tied to a course calendar or a room in another city.
These are assessed certifications, not attendance certificates. You submit work, it is reviewed, and the credential is issued by the AUNLP® once you pass. You can read real submissions from past students on the Master Practitioner and Trainer pages.
NLP Practitioner Certification
The starting point, and the level most people mean when they say they want to be certified in NLP. You learn the core patterns — rapport, anchoring, reframing, submodalities, the meta model — and how to run them with a real person in front of you rather than only on paper. No prior training is assumed.
Best if you are new to NLP, or you have read about it and want the credential and the structured practice behind it.
NLP Master Practitioner Certification
Where technique turns into judgement. This level covers advanced language patterns, meta programs, state elicitation and strategy work — reading which pattern a person needs and adapting in the moment instead of working through a script.
Best if you already hold a Practitioner certification and want the depth to work with harder cases.
NLP Trainer Certification
The teaching credential. It goes past how to run NLP on one person and into how to hold a room — group dynamics, platform skills, and how to structure and deliver a certification course of your own.
Requires both the Practitioner and Master Practitioner certifications. Enrollment is by registration code.
How the certification works
Enroll and start
You get access straight after checkout. Everything is online, and it stays available to you—there is no window you have to finish inside.
Study and submit
Work through the modules at whatever pace suits you, then send in the written work and practice recordings the level asks for.
Get certified
Your submission is reviewed. Once it passes, the AUNLP® issues your certificate and you can be listed in the practitioner directory.
Not sure where to start? Unless you already hold an NLP certification, start with the Practitioner course. It is the prerequisite for everything above it.
