“I absolutely love my training at INLP Center. I’ve read many books on NLP in the past, but the teaching and the material here are much more helpful to me. Now, I feel I can truly begin to help people due to these courses. I was so amazed at how wonderful the classes are! I have such a deep desire to help others overcome limiting beliefs, and I do not think another organization can prepare me to help others like the INLP Center. Thank you so much for offering these wonderful trainings.” – Joseph Hoyt
Why is our NLP Training So Effective?
Practical Coaching Skills, Not Just Magic Bullets!
We teach NLP from a grounded, coaching-focused perspective that allows learning the models and techniques from a practical foundation, not as a quick, “magical” cure. NLP is a powerful tool that greatly enhances your coaching abilities with clients, resulting in a new awareness of how they think, thus producing a deeper understanding of themselves.
What you can expect from our NLP Training
INLP Center provides an infrastructure that allows you to learn in a flexible online format but also gives you the supervision you need to master the NLP models and grow your skills. Get to know your trainers in our small-group Zoom training sessions, practice the NLP tool with friends and fellow students, and get real feedback on your assigned activities. We put your success first! In fact, we prove it by including lifetime course and live session access – we want you to succeed using NLP!
No multiple-choice quiz.
You’ll learn by actually doing!
Through a series of required offline activities we call Psyche Builders, Stealth Missions, and Coaching Exercises, you’ll practice your new NLP skills and report on your experiences. These activities allow for integrating your new skills into your daily life, plus increase your self-awareness for growth.
Michael Grinder says that at iNLP Center,
“Your Life is Your Classroom.”
The advantage of our training style is that you’re able to use your new NLP skills in the environment they are intended for, not in a training room box. Therefore, if we don’t see successful integration or you have questions, we’re always here to help. You will not find this ongoing, integrated NLP certification training and support anywhere else!

Module 1: NLP Fundamentals: Your Mind at Work
Neuro-linguistic programming aims to move from your present state (or mindset) if it is useful to do so – to a more desired state in which you have more resources. NLP tools can help you accomplish that. Learn the three primary ways to do this.
Learn the definition of sensory acuity, the classic NLP skill you will use to make unique observations throughout the course.
Behavior Flexibility will increase your awareness and help you identify areas where you do not have as much choice as you want.
States of Excellence is another classic NLP concept that drives you to maintain your best state of mind and body for every situation.
Our rare learning perspective will establish the most productive frame of mind for learning in a way that leads to continual discovery.

- Cut through the clutter to understand complex situations in minutes
- Effectively deal with your own internal dialogue
- Gain critical insight when no answers seem obvious
- Always know the right question to ask
The NLP Meta Model was the subject of the first NLP book. It has remained among the most important foundational tools for any expert communicator.
The neurolinguistic programming meta model is a tool for helping yourself and others become aware of the underlying meaning of any vague communication.
The Meta Model is a linguistic model. Many people who have learned NLP have shied away from the linguistics aspect because it can be difficult to learn.
At the iNLP Center, we have broken the Meta Model into small chunks that are easy to digest and fun to learn. Within minutes, you will learn how to quickly get to the heart of the matter in any interaction, including those within your own mind.

Module 7: Exploring Submodalities
- Gain mental flexibility
- Control your thoughts
- Quickly change perceived limitations
- Move beyond bad habits
- Develop inner resources
- Overcome fears, phobias, and stuck states quickly
- Grow in self-confidence
Learn how VAK submodalites are the building blocks of subjective experience. These unconscious distinctions are a big eye-opener for many of our NLP students. Once understood, you can rearrange your inner world in the same way you would rearrange building blocks. Create the state of mind you want, at any time, regardless of what you happen to be thinking or feeling.
You will soon discover that what you are thinking and feeling is not nearly as important as how you are thinking and feeling. Most people can tell you what they are thinking. Fewer people can tell you how they are thinking it. This is the difference that makes all the difference!
The NLP Map Across is a classic submodality invention that allows you to transform any negative state into a resourceful state by shifting the VAK submodalities.
This pattern eliminates unwanted habits and behaviors by reversing key thought patterns and simultaneously installing new inspiration into your mind. Not only will your rigid patterns of behavior be interrupted, you will also find the motivation to change them with this technique.
Another famous NLP technique, the Fast Phobia Cure is a specific submodality process that neutralizes most simple phobias in about 60 seconds.

Module 8: The Milton Model
- Gain greater influence and persuasive power
- Encourage change without prying into content
- Help others access internal resources
- Gracefully guide people through problems and decision
The Milton Model is the inverse of the Meta Model. It is patterned after the hypnotic techniques of Milton Erickson, MD, known as the most influential practitioner of medical hypnosis in modern history.
The Milton Model teaches you the language of influence: how to motivate, inspire, and create change just by using words in a chosen pattern.
Again, we have taken the time to break down these linguistic concepts into easily manageable learning chunks so that the skills can be years without confusion or overwhelm.
The NLP Process Instruction Exercise can be used to inspire automatic change without knowing the content. In other words, you can guide someone to choose a problem and then solve it without knowing what problem they are working on.
Understanding the Milton Model is the key to this kind of work. The neurolinguistic programming Process Instructions Exercise shows you specifically how to do it.

- Change impossible behaviors where your choices are limited
- Never get stuck again!
In NLP, we understand that all meaning is malleable. You can change the meaning of almost anything. When you get stuck, it is often because your ability to change meaning is limited.
The NLP reframing models allow you to change meaning by choice, not by chance, to change unwanted habits, feelings, and all manner of rigid thoughts and behaviors – even physical symptoms yield to the six-step reframe.

Learn to modify your sense of the past and future in a way that serves you better and helps others do the same.
Using NLP Timeline to Change Your Future: Use NLP Timeline to create the future you want and release the old limitations you had on it that you did not even know were there!
Our NLP Master Practitioner Training is different.
Many NLP training centers offer an NLP master practitioner training that is just more of the practitioner material, with little fundamentally new material—they merely teach a greater variety of techniques.
Rather than teaching you more of the same, INLP takes you to entirely new levels of understanding. Our NLP master practitioner training offers unique models of human development and communication that put NLP techniques in a useful context—methods that are not based on NLP practitioner-level material.
Here is What’s Covered in our NLP Master Certification Training:

Unit 4 | What We Learn from Developmental Theory | |

Unit 6 | • Coaching Exercise: Levels of Development |
Module 1: Psychological Levels of Development
- Know where you are and what you need to do as an adult interested in growth
- Understand what to help people with and when
- Be able to address your own and clients’ deepest psychological needs
- Understand why so many interventions fail
It is easy to understand that a small child of five does not possess the same knowledge, skills, and awareness that a mature adult of 50 has. Between five and 50 are years of learning and experience for which there is no substitute. To achieve a similar degree of development as a mature adult, there seems to be no choice but for the child to go through a similar number of years, adding to his experience and awareness along the way.
Any methodology intended to help people would benefit from this developmental understanding of the maturation process. Many authors and researchers have written on this subject in psychology. iNLP has synthesized the work of the foremost developmental theorists into a model that we teach in our public training and use in our private work with people.
Understanding where someone is in the larger course of their life illuminates how to work with them. This includes knowing which goals to set, which techniques to use, and what results to expect.

Module 2: The Physiology Map
- Know specifically what you need to do to get unstuck
- Develop strategies to achieve positive emotional states
- Understand where conventional wisdom fails to create lasting emotional flexibility
The Physiology Map is a model developed by NLP Santa Fe and the iNLP Center. The Physiology Map tracks emotions, or physiological states, which we consider to be one and the same. Each physiological state we experience has certain qualities or characteristics.
With this model, we attempt to classify those characteristics. The Physiological map implements the concepts of Associative/Dissociative and External/Internal to map one’s emotional state into quadrants. When we understand the Physiological Map and its implications for human behavior, it becomes clear how to use this NLP model to help people and ourselves move in useful directions.

Module 3: The Twelve States of Attention
- Radically increased visual, auditory, and kinesthetic flexibility
- Ability to access VAK places where it is impossible to get stuck
As you will learn, NLP emphasizes three sensory systems: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (seeing, hearing, and feeling). Each system is known as a modality. Using traditional NLP, we go beyond analyzing what we are thinking or experiencing by learning how our thoughts and experiences are structured in our brains. Understanding this structure and how to influence it gives us monumental advantages.
Beyond seeing, hearing, and feeling, the broad-narrow and internal-external sensory distinctions add a new level of sophistication to the VAK model. These two additional sensory distinctions are probably more important to our psychological functioning than seeing, hearing, and feeling alone.

- More control of your mind and attention
- Ability to get unstuck quickly
- Get to a positive mental outcome efficiently, regardless of the starting point
Our minds are constantly in motion, remembering past experiences and imagining future experiences. It is interesting how little time we spend in the present moment, with our attention directed fully toward the external world. So often, we are inside our minds, attending to the inner life. How we direct our attention influences so much of our experience, both positive and negative.
The questions we ask and the comments we make invite others to direct their minds in ways that will be helpful, productive and positive, or not. Understanding the Quad Map gives us a significant advantage when communicating with others.

Module 5: Criteria for Psychological Safety
- Feel safer every day
- Enhanced confidence and motivation
- Clearer decision-making and prioritizing
Emotional safety is primal. If we do not find a way to feel safe each and every day, we cannot accomplish much beyond reacting to the vague yet constant threat. Most of our life is geared towards reducing anxiety and getting to a place where we feel safe.
Worse, we often put ourselves in threatening situations in the name of personal growth. Too many personal growth advocates push people to break far out of their comfort zone. Expand beyond your limits, destroy obstacles, and succeed beyond your wildest expectations! This is a terrible setup that is destined to fail.
Suddenly expanding beyond perceived limitations, which are psychological protections, brings fear of the unknown, sending the old brain into a tailspin. If it were possible to suddenly destroy your every psychological defense mechanism and wildly expand your boundaries to include all sorts of unfamiliar experiences, you would experience an incredible rush of panic.
A quest for inner peace and personal development should honor the need for emotional safety. You are wired for personal safety, and your personal development plan needs to be equally wired! If not, you are picking a fight with your old brain, and you will lose.

Module 6: Metaphoric Intervention
- Align yourself with the most meaningful and powerful way for you to view life
- Discover your personal metaphor
- Create new lenses to view areas of your life
Our concept of existence is metaphorical in nature. We can only comprehend life, objects, and ourselves by association, which is the broad meaning of metaphor – to understand one thing in terms of another. The Earth is a tiny ball floating through space. Associating the earth with a floating ball helps us put things in a context that fosters understanding. Here are some other examples:
The brain is like a computer; life is a test; college is like a 24/7 party; time is money; argument is war.
The metaphor we choose or inherit, often deeply unconscious, holds tremendous power over how we feel, think, behave, and interact with other people.
This module will help you discover your personal life metaphor and show you how to change it, if necessary, to something deeply empowering.

Module 7: Core Transformation
- Deep self-acceptance
- Tame the angry, rebellious, hidden, or outcast parts of yourself
- Experience your core state for perhaps the first time
The Core Transformation method is one of the deepest and most sophisticated processes in the field of NLP. The method was developed by Connie Rae Andreas, who has given the iNLP Center permission to teach it.
The goal of Core Transformation is to help one reach their core state, which is a state of wholeness, oneness, peace, or connection to the universe. As you work your way up and down the steps, you will see that you can access your core state at any moment. Every step of the process leads toward that state of wholeness.
In this module, we break down the steps. The video demonstration shows each part of the process, so you can replicate it with a client. The exercises featured in this module allow you to try it with a friend and work on yourself.

Module 8: The Default Mode Network
- Dramatic and immediate stress reduction
- Mindfulness tool to live in the moment
- Experience more clarity around difficult stressors
Sometimes, it may seem like a little demon is inside your brain, making you feel tense and miserable. Well, there is! When active, your brain has an internal network, the Default Mode Network (DMN), that continually generates an ocean of mental activity and body tension. The DMN never stops churning unless you are purposefully engaged in a particular cognitive task. When your task-oriented mind is resting, the DMN is working overtime. This is a proven scientific fact that has been validated via fMRI scans.
When the DMN is overactive, common today, it is like a digital clock that blinks the word stress incessantly. You move throughout your day on autopilot, churning, grinding thoughts, and body tension ruling your awareness. Your stress and preoccupation get in the way of dealing with others, getting work done and even sleeping.

Module 9: Meta Programs
- Understand key drivers of human behavior
- Become better at influencing others with integrity
In NLP, meta programs are information filters. They are mental sorting devices that determine which information to keep, which to ignore, which to act upon, and how to act.
Meta programs guide decisions and behaviors. Some meta programs are so powerful that they can almost seem like personality traits. They are not, though. They are simple filters that guide us through a world of information. Most often, meta programs are deeply unconscious. They do their work under the surface and are rarely discovered by people (who are typically studying NLP).
When you understand key meta-programs, you gain an unusually powerful insight into human behavior, decision-making, motivation, communication styles, and more.

Module 10: Presuppositions
- Understand the limited assumptions others make and turn them into breakthroughs
- Tailor your communication to empower others
Presuppositions are the linguistic equivalent of what most people call assumptions. Presuppositions refer to what must already be assumed to be true for the question or statement to make sense.
Presuppositions are typically not stated directly. The are hidden assumptions in conversation.
Every sentence we speak in everyday life contains presuppositions. In most cases, we tend not to consciously recognize what we have presupposed and concentrate on what is directly stated.
Therefore, presuppositions are unconsciously accepted as being true. This often has a direct impact on behavior, whether or not the assumption is accurate.

Why are some behaviors so hard to change, and what can you do about it?
Where is the most efficient and effective place to intervene when someone presents a problem?
Where is the highest leverage place to intervene?
