The NLP Global Body
NLP Without Borders
One Voice for the Field of Neuro Linguistic Programming
Our Mission Is to Connect NLP Associations around the world to a standard level of professionalism, ethics and cooperation
Since the inception of Neuro Linguistic Programming there has not been one overarching regulating body of training and ethical standards, but there has been a common core of minimum standards that are largely agreed upon. Starting with discussions in 2018, the idea for the NLP Global Body was born to unite the various Associations in the world who do uphold these standards and connect the world of NLP through standards, professionalism, ethics and cooperation.
The NLP Global Body is now an independent, incorporated organisation made up of NLP Associations throughout the world that have agreed to work together to collaborate and create more credibility for the field of NLP. Ultimately, the NLP Global Body is ultimately a Fellowship of Associations, united by a common desire for maintaining an acceptable high level of minimum training standards , ethics and promotion of NLP throughout the world.

The following standards have been agreed upon by the NLP Associations to constitute the Minimum Training Standards requied globally for NLP Certification, meaning no training less than these standards will recognised as NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioner or Trainer Certification. Each Association manages their own standards, membership and guidelines.
Please note: many of the global associations require higher standards than minimum training standards for their membership dependent on their own rules, areas of competence, government requirements, focus of operendi and standards. Recognition by one Association with higher standards does not constitute recognition from another Association. (For example, an association that requires 18 days for NLP Practitioner Certification may not recognise a 7 day NLP training for their membership requirements).
