New to NLP? Read what NLP is and what you learn on a course, then which level to start with.
There are two levels, NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner, taught in Arabic and in English. Practitioner needs no prerequisites. Our guide NLP Practitioner or Master Practitioner helps you choose where to start.
IUNLP practitioner course
A system of more than 55 practical techniques, certified by the British Board of NLP in London.
The programme includes live client practice: you practise each technique on a real person, in pairs, one as practitioner and one as client, with the trainer guiding you and giving feedback.
Body Language
Body Language is its own course, separate from NLP. Message us on WhatsApp to ask about it.
Why the certification matters
Our certification is issued under a United Kingdom licence and certified by the British Board of NLP. Certificates are recognised outside Lebanon, which matters if you plan to practise or work abroad.
What graduates use it for
Graduates use the certification in their existing work, in teaching, leadership and training, or as a path into NLP coaching. Practitioner is the first level; Master Practitioner is the next for those who continue, and it requires the earlier training and certification.
Because Practitioner has no prerequisites, students, teachers, parents, managers and coaches start in the same course.
Where classes run
NLP is available live online on Zoom and in person at our main branch in Simkanieh (the Chouf). Online groups are separate from in-person groups, they are taught live and never recorded, and the fee is the same as in person. Slides, PDFs and links are sent by WhatsApp or email, and students can move between online and in-person. We also have a branch in Aley: ask us which groups run there. Our Beirut (Mar Elias) and Choueifat branches are paused for now; students from those areas can study live online.
