1. By “fundamental abilities of NLP Practitioner” needed for certification we understand the following:

   • Establishing rapport (pacing and leading on different levels);
   • Clear perception (calibration, describing states with external indicators, sensory feedback);
   • Clearly obtained result (orientation at the frame of solutions, collection of information and goal setting);
   • Systematic thinking (multi-level diagnostics, selecting technique for the defined symptom);
   • Congruent communication (behavioral support for NLP presuppositions, obtaining and supporting own resource states);
   • Flexibility (changing formats, models, verbal reframing, Milton-model);
   • Ability to be consistently resource oriented (knowing steps of techniques and their background);
   • Ecology (finding secondary benefits and satisfying them, positional transfers, checking results through effects);
   • Conscious competence (reverse pace and technological analysis of own work, high quality feedback). 

2. Evaluation will be done by means of behavioral check. Content and form for the behavioral test is done by an NLP trainer according to the experience of participants  

3. Behavioral evaluation lets participants show the behavioral level of integration of presuppositions, demonstrate selected techniques, especially identification of problems, identification of result, rapport, perception, flexibility, sensory feedback.
