Benefits of in-the-room, in-person Trainings

Online training has obvious advantages. Read here why the IANLP generally recommends attending on-site events and how you can mitigate the disadvantages of online training.


Quality Monitoring

All Fellow Member Trainers of the IANLP are committed to the unique Quality Assurance System of the IANLP. Compliance with the standards is actively monitored and enforced. Our contribution to worldwide high quality and ethically sound NLP.  To take measures and - if necessary - also dismiss members makes the standards valuable and significant. It is the noble duty of the Secretary General and the Secretary Ambassadors to protect the association, its members and the good reputation of the NLP by ensuring compliance with the guidelines.

Multiple certifications within the same training?

Guidelines for issuing certificates that include previously certified training courses. To support our Fellow Member Trainers when issuing complex certificates we have set up some guidelines.
