A new website is promising personal development enthusiasts help in finding their way through the unregulated NLP courses industry. In a take no prisoners writing style http://www.theNLPcourse.com is experiencing great success. In a field where anyone can buy their credentials and call themselves a Trainer, one man with 17 years of experience in the industry is trying to guide newbies to make informed choices before they invest thousands in seminar fees, only to end up disappointed.
The Website owner when interviewed stated that “As an Independent Financial Advisor in the UK, I was under the close scrutiny, continual assessment and strict codes of practice enforced by governing bodies that had full legal clout behind them. If a client was unhappy or had felt they were misled, the full weight of the law could be brought down upon the Company that was responsible. This doesn’t exist in the NLP world! The so called “Governing Bodies” in the NLP community have no real power, no enforcement and weak assessment.
There are 12 main complaints that I hear every day, and I’m as fed up with it as you probably are, if you feel you didn’t get what you paid for. Here they are:
- Too many other students in the room – often 500 -750 people at a time so no personal attention and just generic teaching
- Poor trainers who clearly don’t walk their talk, talk a good game or who’ve never used NLP in the real world
- All marketing hype and no substance
- Company that is completely stonewalling you when you ask for your money back
- The promise of clients or web pages and they never materialised – try www.fullpractices.com instead!
- You don’t feel at all confident using the tools after the course
- Your Certificate isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on
- No support or follow up – you’re left out in the cold
- Egotistical Trainers showing off and trying to impress you with their skills and accomplishments, rather than training you like they’re meant to
- Course leaders refused to take or answer your questions
- You felt like “a bum in a seat”, not a valued student
- Opinionated Trainer who wanted you to buy into their personal gripes
He continued “I know of 3 so called “Life Coaches” whose experience consists of a 3 day training course and 12 written homework assignments! But will it tell you that on their brochures and websites? I doubt it…It’s no wonder that there are hundreds of people who think NLP is a bit dodgy.” In an attempt to raise standards and ensure that NLP course newbies get value for money, Jonathan has created a free report on how to choose an NLP Training provider and the questions to ask up front.
