NPL training

A mate has spent £2000 on the FIRST part of training to become a "NLP Practitioner" in the hopes of being able to charge others for NLP help, now he is on MORE courses (paying more), is this a real thing with real recognised qualification or just another pyramid selling scheme? is it safe? it seems self-certificated and unregulated, a sort of cult almost..........

thoughts appreciated

  • It is real - but can be quite “niche”
    In my opinion - it would be very open to “abuse”
    Mrs Womble is a qualified practitioner and does occasionally practice.
    She did the courses through work - so I cannot comment on the costs
    I however am to cynical for it to work on me (apparently)

    I am doing an online introduction to NLP by a lady recommended to me. In the 7 weeks alone I have learned so much. I know others who use it in business and are successful with it.

  • Quite a few professions utilise it as well especially law enforcement and customs officers etc.
    Its quite interesting what information people give away by body language etc
  • Update

    Further courses have increased the expenditure to over £5000

    well..... 
    sounds like pyramid selling to me

    In theory the content is totally legit - however it does seem like there are some dodgy sales practices going on with that particular supplier.
    It really shouldnt be costing that much imo
