The length it takes to complete NLP training varies per institution and program. The number of hours required for certification also depends on the certifying body you’re applying to. Typically, it ranges between sixty to seventy hours (which could take around one month to finish), but some programs even go beyond 120 hours. Symbiosis Coaching’s online NLP practitioner certification training course runs for two hours once a week for twenty-five weeks. You get 65 IFC training hours, or a total of 125 ICF training hours if you’re taking it for a dual-certification combined with a certified life coach (CLC) program. You also receive bonus coaching hours!
