What is an NLP Master Practitioner?
In ANLP India, an NLP Master Practitioner is a person who has completed the advanced level of the professional NLP pathway: application and integration of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, including a related coaching pathway. It is not a clinical or statutory licence.
What this credential represents
On this site, NLP Master Practitioner certification names advanced professional NLP training associated with ANLP India. A Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, in this association’s language, is someone who has completed that advanced level after NLP Practitioner. The association’s own description is: advanced application and integration of NLP, including a related coaching pathway. The learning page describes that next stage as bringing together advanced linguistics, coaching, and related therapeutic approaches — in the historical sense of the field, not as a claim of medical treatment.
It sits after Practitioner and before NLP Trainer in the four-level pathway. “NLP Practitioner Master” is sometimes used as a search phrase for this same step; the named status on the register is NLP Master Practitioner. Members continue to hold these credentials. This website does not take applications for new certificates.
Coaching and professional use
Coaching is one of the applications historically associated with this level. A short reading, NLP and Coaching, sets out how those patterns have been used in a coaching relationship. That is professional education and practice, not healthcare. The field as a whole is introduced on What is NLP?.
People who completed Master Practitioner training with ANLP India are listed, where the record includes them, in the graduate register. Photographs from Master Practitioner gatherings in Delhi are in the gallery.
How it relates to training
Learning the work, and holding a certificate that names the level, are related but not the same thing. That distinction is explained in How certification works. A programme brochure for NLP Master Practitioner Certification is in the resource library.
